Those who surrender liberty for freedom will not know security nor do they deserve it. People cannot know true freedom as it is describing the total lack of self-value, self-worth, self-esteem, and self-respect. Free. A person that is free simple has no value placed on them, freedom only sounds like it should be describing the person who has endless liberties that can be taken at will, to do as they wish. Independent. I understand what you are trying to say and I might agree with it otherwise. But, still the best non-biased words used to describe liberty is a common defense to the general welfare.

Man is a natural freedom seeker. We want freedom from our limited bodies. We want more speed so we use vehicles, we like to explore no matter the danger like going to space to discover other planets when we know air is limited in outer space. The security of the world is prison to the criminal....and they escape. We all want freedom. Side: Free

No. Socialism can make you secure, but by it's nature you won't be free. I can agree that Socialism is working okay for the drones in Scandinavia but in almost every other case, it doesn't work. Have you seen satellite images of the Korean peninsula at night? Do you know what's going on in Venezuela right now? Did you learn anything from the history of the USSR? Side: Free

I really don't see how socialism comes into this debate. Is the fact that I am a socialist relevant in every debate I enter? This is about security, like the right to bear arms and mass surveillance. Last time I checked the US is a frequent user of both, not the socialist countries. Side: Secure

No it is not. If you don't have security then you are not free to do as you want. If you don't feel safe then you don't feel free to go and do whatever you please. If you are not free then you are also not safe, because captivity and deprivation of general rights also result in insecurity. Side: Secure
