I know some places are more progressive in this regard. But from the U.S., I’d like to see every person entitled to:

  • shelter
  • food
  • healthcare
  • education and higher education

(As an aside, not sure “right” is the best term here, I think of these more as commitments that society would make because we have abundance. One advantage of the word “right” is that a person is justified in expecting it - it’s not welfare/ a benefit / a privilege)

    Anything less seems vulnerable to attack and gradual chiseling away by its opponents.

    Almost like you’re arguing for an aggressive policy agenda that a lot of people don’t support. How about just discuss said policy instead of trying to find language that actively makes discussion more difficult?

      It’s not public opinion I’m necessarily concerned about, it’s attacks by those who benefit from the way things are.

      Also, choosing language that strengthens your position is the logical approach for anyone advocating for change. I’m not trying to obscure my position, I’m trying to make it clear.
