Frankly, your definition of human-rights seem a little strange to me or I just do not get it.

So, for you human-rights are only valid if they do not 'force' others to contribute eg. via public taxes?

So, does that mean if you would have the power, you would stop all government-paid 'forced' welfare systems, even the basic emergency ones ? Or what's the difference ? I have a job and why do I have to pay my taxes for welfare but I can refuse paying for a 'socialist' health care system?

So, a 12 year old boy, who has only a mother, which drinks and is no help for her son: So, this boy should not get a fair chance because we do not want to force the society to help...so just bad luck for him?

Or is all dependent on voluntary services so that we force nobody? But is the access to voluntary services not random, also?

No, I do not want to have this society. Call me socialist or whatever....
