Rights are imho the wrong way to frame a system, since the concept relies on a monopoly of power granting them.

A better way to think about how a system cares for it's individuals is via their needs. Those can be catered to by a basic democracy federated in a commune of communes.

Also, I'm not claiming that the system will be created by magic, but rather by REDACTED.

You would need to kill capitalism to get any system that caters to anything that's not capitalist. The funnel system for 1% is too overpowering. Man who thought giving all the money to dumbasses would have dumb consequences.

No disagreement here.
