Freedom for a society means having Democracy as its political system of governance.
This is the view of currently dominant American/European thinking.
Is it reasonable, logical and universally desirable?
As I pointed out there is nothing like Freedom in the existing Universe.
What is Democracy? I have no clue.
The very concept of Democracy if taken to mean what its advocates preach, requires Complete Freedom of Choice for each participant.
But in the absence of such Freedom, or in the absence of the rational possibility of having even the Concept of Freedom, the very concept of Democracy becomes meaningless.
