Freedom, Law and State

Abstract

There is hardly a human being who does not want to be free. We can disagree on the definition of freedom and its limits. We can even try to restrict and even suppress the freedom of others. However, we do not want anyone to try to restrict our freedom, let alone suppress it.
Nobody wants to be a slave; and whoever wants to be, will need freedom to renounce freedom, and choose slavery. The great rebellions, the revolutionary struggles of the peoples, have been for freedom, and never for slavery.
The despotisms, dictatorships or tyrannies that have sometimes been implanted after the revolutionary triumph of the peoples have been tragic degenerations, lamentable deformations of the deepest libertarian ideals. The incentive of the struggle, that for which it was valuable to despise death and sacrifice life, was freedom, although it was precisely what has been lost.
