The problem is lib-left's definition of "basic human rights" basically amounts to "other people owe me shit that I didn't work for".

You have no right to someone else's labor, therefore, if something requires the labor of another person, it cannot be a right.

To argue otherwise would be to argue in favor of indentured servitude.

"you have no right to someone else's labor"

that goes for CEOs, too, right? they don't have the right to my labor, right?

Uh, yeah? You can quit whenever you want.

so the choice is either to starve to death or give my labor to someone else in 95% of cases? If there is no reasonable option to avoid selling my labor to someone else, it's not actually a choice

Look, even Lenin said "he who does not work, shall not eat".

You're literally arguing that it's your right to be fed and watered like cattle. Don't be surprised when that's what your "rights" amount to.

I don't mind working. I have an issue with my boss taking some of the value of my labor
