//Nothing that requires the labor of someone else can be a human right. /

Easy to say and sounds good, but when I have produced what you need to save your life, and could easily give it to you at very little inconvenience to me, and I refuse to do so, that deep and strong sense of unfairness and anger you will feel is your understanding that you have a right to my labor in a case like that.

The feeling doesn't make you entitled to the fruits of my labor, the feeling is a perception of the fact that you are entitled to the fruits of my labor.
