then what ARE they determined by

By man's nature.

The only tool man has for survival is his mind. He must think and reason to live. This is the reason that a capitalist society is the moral and socialist evil.

In a socialist society, as Kholt has said, rights are a societal construct, which means that they can be anything.

A Nazi or Communist concentration camp is no more and no less objectionable than the summer camp I went to as a kid.

A key component of those systems is that it is illegal to have ideas different than those sanctioned by the mob.

The result of such a system, as even you have to acknowledge, is death.

It is no accident that when socialists take power they first kill the intellectuals.
