What profits one man disadvantages another. There is no system in which the progress of all is tenable, because the richest would be required to lose status.

Um, have you heard of capitalism?

Sure. I don't know any objective basis for its morality.

There is only one system wherein each is free to pursue progress as he defines it.

That system requires only the rational recognition that each abstain from the initiation of force, thereby leaving him free to otherwise act in accordance with his own will.

The system's politics encompass the notion of rights. It's economics.. laissez faire capitalism.
