Natural rights are what guides my politics. The social contract exists to both protect people and protect their rights, and governments should be toppled when they void said rights. The thing that separates man from animal is that God delivered us with the privilege of basic rights
other poster: where do these natural rights come from?
sami gold: 1. God 2. Human existence
I'm failing to understand how God granting humans rights conflicts with Dialectical Materialism. Does this guy know what DiaMat is or is he just repeating words he knows are associated with Marxism?
Well, if we're supposed to follow moral codes ordained by God, then that sort of conflicts with the materialist mode of decision-making described by Marx. He's right that they are in contradiction, he is just wrong about which side we should favor.
