The below linked article from the Economist supports my opinion that it is inappropriate to speak about the right of housing, the right of food, and so on. Limiting essential rights to a few, will make it easier to enforce them:
- free expression of opinions
- not being jailed without a proper legal treatment by the authorities
- protection against violence from others
- state of law
this are basic principles that also can be enforced by a simple decision of will.

the right of food, the right of housing, the right of work cannot. These are valuable goals to achieve in a just society, but not basic rights. This means not at all not to fight for them.
