      Is this SovCit meeting Stirner? Do I have to say the word?


      Following questions:

      Do you see yourself as human?

      Do you value your life and body integrity? Do you value life and body integrity of other beings, like friends?

      Do you avoid experiencing violence?

          They’re trying to expose you as a hypocrite for wanting things for yourself that you don’t care about others having.

          That said, not valuing rights seems a bit inconsistent with Marxism. IIRC it was the socialist states that insisted that the UN Declaration of Human Rights include such things as “education” and “housing” as basic human rights. Of course, every despotic regime in the world has signed up to that, so perhaps they were just being dishonest.

              Good faith, bad faith, that has no bearing on hypocrisy. And anybody can be a hypocrite regardless of their guiding philosophy.

              You don’t believe in cows’ rights to, well, anything, because you don’t believe in rights. I don’t see you making any arguments about duties.

              Hence we’re left with nothing but the potential for hypocrisy based on the golden rule, which pretty much everybody accepts.
