What Does 'Freedom' Mean To You?

[Loot_Gingrich]

Political entities love to focus and debate over hot button moral and ethical issues (i.e., identity politics). Libertarians and Anarchists love to talk about "property rights" and the "non aggression principal." We hear about "commodification" and "class consciousness" from Communists and Marxists.

But regardless of what political or philosophical ideology you subscribe to, what it really comes down to is freedom, and which social structure provides its citizens with the purest form of, and highest degree of freedom.

So to avoid being long winded, I'm just going to ask the simple question: What does freedom mean to you?

And please, be as specific as possible. Don't just say "freedom is to do as I please." I ask that you qualify that statement. In other words,what exactly is "do"?

I would imagine your answers will spark more debate on political/socioeconomic nuances and the basic framework of civilized society.

If I had to describe freedom it would be ruling over ones self, but that's not gonna happen as it's in human nature to find a dominant mostly male person to lead us, which is why I think Freedom is a myth

Let's dig deeper into ruling over oneself. How exactly would you define rule?

Also, freedom is just as much of a myth as love is a myth. I would say it's more of an abstraction with various forms and connotations.

Love isn't a myth
When I say Rule over oneself I mean to be able to decide what's morally correct, not having laws set by another dictate how I should live.
Freedom is a massive myth just because as animals we need a structure to allow us to live in moderate peace and stability, but yes I guess it does depend on what the person thinks is freedom
