"Do you think that people have the RIGHT TO WORK???????????"

I'm not clear on why you're asking based on post 34, but:

I certainly do think so. To be more precise, people have a natural right to work on their own behalf if only to continue living.

In a state of nature they have a right to work at hunting, herding, gathering, cultivating, etc. to get food for themselves. In a more organized society they may have something other than a natural right to work at other tasks for the same purpose. All of this is self-employment and does not mean in and of itself that people have any kind of right to work for another or that another is obligated to provide them with employment or work. Depending on the organization of the society in which they live, there may be some kind of right like that, but it would be a legal right or contract right or some other kind of right.

Do you think that you don't have a right to be self-employed, to work for yourself?
