NOTE: One may ask how will [LRS](lrs.md) deal with the above? If we argue for true freedom, do we argue for feeling no responsibility even for things like murder etc.? The answer is basically this: to make people not do bad things don't remove their freedom to do bad things, keep their freedom to do anything while making them want to choose to do good things.

Freedom is something promised by most (if not all) ideologies/movements/etc.; this is because without further specification the term is so wide it says very little -- the very basic thing to know is, of course, that **there is no such thing as general freedom**; one kind of freedom restricts other kinds of freedom -- for example so called freedom of market says that a rich capitalist is free to do whatever he wants, which leads to him enslaving people, killing the freedom of those people. **Wrong understanding of freedom (present especially in the [USA](usa.md)) -- also pseudofreedom -- is that of "law of the jungle**, i.e. letting everyone just follow [self interest](self_interest.md) by any means necessary -- this is just tyranny of self interest and those strong enough to enforce their self interest on the detriment of others. In such society most people can NOT do whatever they want because they're FORCED (perhaps not by law but [de facto](de_facto.md) e.g. by [fear](fear_culture.md) and physical oppression) to do the bidding of the stronger. Therefore this by definition NOT real freedom, it is the rule of the strong, no different from any other kind of dictatorship. It is what eventually results in the strongest becoming absolute ruler who starts writing down orders (which at this point will be called "[laws](law.md)") enforced by his personal army (which will be called [police](police.md), [justice](justice.md) system etc.). Real freedom means lawlessness which however MUST also be rid of self interest and principles of the jungle -- [less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md). Only then will everyone be as free as possible: though it's impossible to ensure that everyone would always be able to do whatever it is he wishes to do without restricting the freedom of others, it is possible to maximize this kind of freedom, to get very close to the situation when mostly one CAN do whatever it is he wishes to do.

Freedom is something promised by most (if not all) ideologies/movements/etc.; this is because without further elaborating on the definition, the term is so broad it says very little -- as a matter of fact, of course, **there is no such thing as general freedom**; one kind of freedom restricts other types of freedom -- for instance the so called "freedom of market" allows a rich capitalist the "freedom" to do whatever he desires, which leads to him enslaving people, taking freedom away from these people. **Wrong understanding of freedom (present especially in the [USA](usa.md)) -- also pseudofreedom -- is that of "law of the jungle**, i.e. letting everyone just follow [self interest](self_interest.md) by any means necessary -- this is just tyranny of self interest and those strong enough to enforce their self interest on the detriment of others.

What kind of freedom is [LRS](lrs.md) interested in? Basically the freedom for living beings to do what makes them happy -- of course this can't be achieved 100% (if one desires to enslave others, their freedom would disappear), however we can get very close (make a [society](less_retarded_society.md) in which people don't wish to enslave others). For this goal we choose to support such freedoms as [free speech](free_speech.md), [free software](free_software.md), [free culture](free_culture.md), free love etc.
