Freedom, in a political context, means freedom from government coercion. It does not mean freedom from the landlord, or freedom from the employer, or freedom from the laws of nature which do not provide men with automatic prosperity. It means freedom from the coercive power of the state—and nothing else.
BUT
If larger powers than you are capable of curtailing your freedom, and more of them exist than government, then the reason to overlook them and solely focus on government is an idealogical one.
