We can learn a lot about freedom by understanding how Marx
wanted to establish communism. One of his ten planks of establishing communism
was this:
"1. Abolition of property in land and application of all
rents of land to public purposes..."
Take away property and you take away freedom. If a man or
woman cannot own land, a house, his or her own things, freedom is gone.
Note that there is more than one way to abolish property and
ownership. One is to make it illegal, to not allow ownership. This is extreme,
of course.
But there are other ways that are less obvious...
