On Rights

From my point of view there are three types of rights in the world:
1. The personal rights to live, to think or not, to speak or not and to listen or not.
2. The property rights to own and maintain or relinquish ownership of some obkects, even some live, non-human objects.
3. The rights over other people.

In our modern times, it is generally agreed that the the third type of rights must be limitted to governments and even their rights in that regard must be limitted. The private ownership of other humans (aka slavery) was abolished as a legal right and for good reasons - how could we deny a human being any of the first two types of rights mentioned above. Many tyrant regimes tried and are still trying to enslave their own or other people but such regimes are largely unpopular and probably illegal by todays standards.

We generally think negatively about regimes or political/religious movements who try to take away any of the first two types of rights. I will come back to this issue, but I will say only this: there is a tendency in the left to support taking away established rights for no reason. I do not talk about limitting sprawling in order to protect nature, water sources and the like. Aside of the fact that this is not really done in any efficient way, those that their property rights are taken or diminish would usually be compensated. What I talk about is eminent domain that is now permitted for the sake of getting more taxes and the endless quest to undo the second amendment. These two are not done in order to really benefit society but for the sake of lust for power by those who promote them.
