Why does man need freedom?
To live rationally by one’s reason in society, man needs only one thing from his fellow men: freedom. The freedom to live for oneself, neither sacrificing oneself to others, nor sacrificing others to oneself — the freedom to pursue one’s own happiness. It is this freedom that unleashes the creative potential of man’s mind, resulting in a society of nationwide peace, continuous progress and boundless prosperity.
To live in society, man requires freedom of action. Freedom of action does not mean freedom to act by permission, which may be revoked at any dictatorial tyrant’s, or democratic mob’s whim, but freedom to act as an absolute — by right.
