    Adding to this: Rather than rights, Marxists tend to express things in terms of 'humanity'. Acts which harm are alienating/dehumanizing, like imprisonment, wage theft, discrimination, and being a middle class fuckwad all dehumanize and alienate both perpetrator and victim. Marxist philosophers generally recognize that the path to humanizing the oppressor is to fight the oppressors to liberate the oppressed. But civil rights being nebulous removes this dialectical relationship from the equation, putting everything into legal terms where we make possible events like the repeal of Roe v. Wade and gosh it's just nobody's fault isn't it EXCEPT YOU, LEFTIST WHO DIDN'T VOTE.
