The distinction between privileges and rights, while interesting from a moral perspective, isn't of much use in the real world. The vast majority of us would not be able to survive without the use of numerous privileges and "voluntary" transactions, and we require more and more every day. What's more, if you manage to live completely off the grid on your own land, the result is that you have fewer resources to protect you in the case that someone who does make use of those privileges decides that they want to violate your rights. Privileges and voluntary transactions are a myth - anyone who is restricted from them is at a significant disadvantage, and at significantly higher risk of loss of rights to property or to life.
