    But wouldn't the concept of human rights still serve a purpose in that case to limit the power of individuals within the state from abusing their power?

      I do not think so. I think superstructural elements like ideology and morality and the like might always exist, but human rights specifically are very fitting for a capitalist mode of production. There likely might be a post-commodity production morality, but it is not the goal of communists to find the optimal morality (whether in general to guide the movement, or to limit opportunistic individuals in the organizing, preparation for revolution, and revolutionary period), but to organize structures and organizations that can resist opportunism and serve the interests of the proletariat to gain power, and then abolish commodity production, classes, property, and move to production for need, etc.
