I'm not actually opposed to certain positive rights of sorts, a child has a right to a caring father and mother, and husband and wife are obligated to each other to fulfill their respective roles.
But this doesn't scale to state in the same way, religious comunes like monasteries have functioned within both feudal and capitalist states. But comunes are unable to self-subsist outside these supporting systems. In contrast South Africa collapses, yet Orania can completely self-subsist with no external systems.
Positive rights are dependent on someone being obligated to provide you something, in marriage you opt to make a mutual contract, and childbirth is followed by rearing. In the case of state, your just kind of bound by a "social contract" apparently signed by your forefather's ghost.
