You can force someone to have liberty they don't want.
One example I can think of is a person in prison who has someone try to help them break out. They choose not to. They believe they need to surrender their own liberty and someone else believes they should have more liberty and be out of prison.
The example about Iraq is pertinent as well. The explanation for that follows this post. |
I disagree. You can ALLOW a person more liberty, but they have the freedom of choice to accept it or not.
If you were to somehow allow more liberty in a former dictatorship, for example, and the people chose another dictator, at least it was their choice.
The very essence of liberty is the absense of force of ANY kind, so you cannot "force" liberty on anyone.
