Actually I think most Americans socialists are Lockeans. Be that as it may, no matter how you arrive your conception of rights, and wherever it may take you, other peoiple don't have to agree with your metaphysics, theology, religion. or even your idea of what rights there are so long as they and you will respect each other's willingnesst to politically decide your differences, including your differencesa bout rights, by reference to democratic procedures. Politics is prior to philosophy. This was our very first discussion-remember Luke? And it doesn't seem we've budged an inch. jks
