“Freedom” is zero-sum. A man’s right to do or not do a thing necessarily imposes on his adversary the obligation to permit his doing or not doing it.

Both “social freedoms” and “economic freedoms” as framed by the political clown dialectic are establishment positions. The former invariably promote atomization (divide et impera) and the latter invariably promote the hegemony of multinational gigacorporations.

No one dares to lobby for the social freedoms of a man’s right to marry a pleasant virgin, or to utter the word of power, nor for the economic freedoms of a man’s right to run a business not having to compete with nation-state-sized conglomerates like Wal-Mart, McDonald’s, Marriott, or Nike, or to be secure in his person, houses, papers, and effects.
