it is inevitable and history all the way back to ancient times prove it. Money and power are what matters to men (yes men) and once they get in power they care about nothing. Peace among people will never happen as long as there men running the show acting like little boys who want what the other little boys have (just on a much bigger scale)

What is human freedom?
What is your definition of freedom? Peace? Love? Policeless? Equality? (Marxism?)
Why would you want human freedom? Without control, order and repression wouldn't humans be (even) more unstable, insecure and dangerous?
Wouldn't freedom give way to anarchy?
How is it possible then to create a world of freedom without erasing everyones social status, personality, economic situation and all negative thoughts and memories particularly repressed ones?
Is it possible to remove hatred, jealously, greed, anger etc., unless a classless and prospering society for all exists and everyone is a blank canvas?
Would everyone need to be educated to the same level and be capable of learning to that standard? If so, would that even be freedom?
By the way philosophy should never produce an answer only more questions?

That's an interesting question.
If the possibilities are given, then they are limited; if they are limited, they limit the "chooser" (the subject). Well, if the subject is limited by the possibilities, then us (the sujects) are limited. If we are limited, we don't have that freedom that we think firstly could think.
So, our freedom are too much influenced by the chances, by the possibilities that are set; human freedom consists in, under my view, putting in question all the possibities, while possibilities, when they are possibilities. When we do this - put things in question -, we have the created possibility of doing things, thinking new things, feeling new sensations etc.
The non-determination of things in general is where lies the human freedom.

A human is as free as possible when she/he has self-control.
The full and proper exercize of human freedom moves towards accomplishing our full potentiality; anything else is a limitation of our humanity and therefore a limitation or denial of our freedom. How can we be free if we are not ourselves, if we are not fully as we are meant to be.
But absolute freedom is an illusion. The very exercize of freedom limits it in that we cannot perform mutually exclusive acts - choosing one action eliminates the choice of others.
If we cannot do without something, or deny ourselves something (even something good) then our inability or the difficulty we have in refusing ourselves is the measure of our lack of freedom.

the freedom to go where we want without having to pay to travel.
the freedom to live where we want without having to pay for a home.
the freedom to grow/raise and eat healthy food without having to pay for it.
the freedom to go to the hospital when necessary without having to worry about the bill.
the freedom to pursue passions and not be stuck unhappily in a job.
the freedom to always go back to school and keep learning with no cost.
the idea is that we should not have to pay for necessities or services that have become so popular that they are becoming essential. Our ability to do what is necessary should not be governed by the size of our wallets.

as no-one takes away a human freedom but another fellow human. we can liberate ourselves by teaching us that we're strong and capable of everything, we're capable of ruling ourselves and controlling our desires and appetites. try to teach yourself how to love and forgive. until then good luck

Any freedom is an illusion.

i have a feeling people think "freedom is at the end" of something. but i feel it is the beginning.
you are free when you decide(or think) you are free. you are unfree just when you decide you are unfree. So it is just our thoughts game.
