It all comes down to people enforcing there will upon others.
Freedom in any way is an illusion.
F.E.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 623708

Your statement has obvious merit but isn't entirely true. If we agree that Freedom is the ability to choose and to act without any form of restriction or hindrance, then it's entirely possible. But of course the chief factor in why such an anarchist utopia will never exist in any society is because human nature compels every person to, as you put it, "enforce their will upon others." That means the only way to have absolute freedom (aside from, for instance, the "freedom" to rape or go on killing sprees, etc) in a society is to radically reprogram at very least the majority of its members. Quite an ambitious task that would be and needless to say it's very unlikely any entity will ever even try to accomplish that, much less succeed in the endeavor.

But even then, the unreprogrammed minority would most likely at some point rise up and fight for the ability to dominate others, at which point you'd require something like a benevolent monarchy to keep them from oppressing others, policing them, which would eventually lead back to where we are today. Sort've like how it's impossible to avoid fascism if your form of government has a congress (the role of the congress is to make laws, perpetually, so).

But I guess I just arguing semantics here, sort've. What does FE stand for, by the way?
