Someone gets it.

Lets instead do this:

Every citizen, irrespective of their nationality, skincolor, gender has the right to:

  • living quarters
  • work
  • maximum of 7 hours of work
  • free healthcare
  • paid vacation
  • equal pay and treatment for women
  • freedom of religion and speech

This is directly taken from a 1936 constitution. Today one could improve on it but we're so much worse, everywhere.

Now guess which one.

Go check if you dare

Uh... This is coming from the folks who said "he who does not work, neither shall he eat" during a famine so... uh... yeah, that's not the flex you think it is.

Edit: And in case anyone is wondering, this gets worse with context.

Luckily, the Soviet union treated homosexuals to a similar standard. /s

Couldn't we just add equality for sexual orientation and gender expression to a new list of rights, along with the things already mentioned?

OP even said, "Today one could improve on it," implying that the referenced constitution isn't meant to be a comprehensive list for the modern day.

Stalin 1936 constitution. Holidays for "enemies of the people" were unpaid and in a quite cold climate of Siberia. They also cared about fitness of citizens by ensuring no one has too much of food. And if you didn't like it, you get a free ride in a black car to the place of final rest.

I like the idea of little guys coming up with things being able to get a head start from the companies with massive budgets

HOWEVER. imo the big company should not be able to patent anything
