Document Summary
Must conclude that: not only that being free to do a is compatible with being forced to do a, but that being forced to do a entails being free to do a. We are free to do what we are forced to do. Marxists claim working-class people are forced to sell their labor. Capitalists manifest in the capitalist"s purchase of labor power and the worker"s sale of it. Liberal believe libertarians wrongly sacrifice good things in total defense of one good of liberty; liberals believe the good lost requires restraints on liberty (capitalism modified by welfare legislation and state intervention in the market) Believes libertarians and liberals misuse the word freedom thus critique of defensive rhetoric is indirectly a critique of the insertions the rhetoric defends. Central contention liberals and libertarians see the freedom which is intrinsic to capitalism, but not give proper notice to the unfreedom which necessarily accompanies it.
