A common test of any new communications protocol (and also for religious,
moral, and ethical systems) is "Does it successfully interoperate with
itself?".

A society where *everybody* refuses to give up *any* rights is demonstrably
non-self-interoperable.  As a thought experiment, what happens if *everybody*
insists on having property rights in their possessions, the right to take
other's property, the right to carry lethal weaponry to defend the first
two rights, *and* the right to keep living.  You can't fulfill all of those
all the time for everybody.  So *somebody* will have to give up *some* right.

After all, a lot of us are calling for infringing the rights of the
Republican party to bring themselves the freedoms they want for themselves:
