Humans must live by production. Those persons who live by non-production are parasites. Parasites don't have rights. It's the interest of productive persons to banish parasites. [It seems we must talk about the parasites when discussing rights. Parasites are the link that enables us to explain why producers have a right to impose individualism on other people. You can't just move from the right to life without discussing the parasites who give them reason to create government: government exists because of the parasites. It doesn't exist because of the producers. It exists to enable producers to live among parasites. This is the link! The link is that the existence of parasites makes imposing individualism necessary.]
