I think the parent comment is trying to say that 'basic human rights' are the ones that apply regardless of society.

The claim is that there are some rights that should be due to us because of the context we are in, and some rights that should be due to us simply because we are human.

'Right to a job' would definitely be a right based on context, especially since there are contexts where the concept of 'job' might not make any sense at all.

The question is whether right to property is of the context type or not.
