You were really on the right track with the right to not work issue.
Right up till the end, you actually were sounding rather laissez-faire.
A person should have the right not to work.
The result of the person's choice not to work, however, cannot be the concern of anybody but the person not working.
Hence the freedom to starve.The right to food issue is just a part of (or a step to) the tried-and-failed communism experiment.
What about shelter? air? water? These are all necessary to each human life. Should these be covered also?
Also, different people have significantly different needs for food and shelter.
A male 6' 5" tall may eat 3 times as much as a 5' 5" female.
Who decides who is rationed more? I'll bet the people on that commitee eat better than your average Joe (or Ivan).
Communism didn't work folks. Give it up.
