There is no such thing as absolute freedom I believe. Democracy, like just about everything has its flaws and negative aspects. I believe in rights such as the right to free speech, most countries claim to have it but when we think about it we don't have that at all.
Democracy limits our freedom greatly. We are given an illusion that we can decide and make differences. That is not always very true. Give the people a few voting rights and they think they are free. Politicians are still free to do whatever they want with the people. My great grandparents always shared great stories of the fascist times in Italy.
My family comes from very small and humble towns for the most part. My grandfather always spoke of the times of il duce very positively. He told me that when il duce was around that people could wonder the streets in peace without fear of being assaulted or hurt. My great grandmother was a single woman since my great grandfather died early on. She always claimed she felt very protected and at peace during this time. They claim they never saw any harsh punishment being administered by the police.
Today, take a walk in a big city late at night and you can get a stab by an African immigrant for whatever miserable amount of money you have in your pockets. What do you have left to do? the cops wont do much since they are afraid of being jailed for being racists. You complain, the tides are turned against you and suddenly you were stabbed due to the opressive fascists that run our countries..
