In order for a society to function for any length of time the rights mentioned by Merlin are absolutely necessary. If you claim people do not have any right to life, liberty and property you end up with sub-saharan Africa. Certainly not any place you would want to be.
The Greek, Romans, Egyptians, Hebrews, Carthaginians, Babylonians, and Persians didnt believe in natural rights, and their societies did pretty well.
