In my opinion there is two factors interweaving to give a man freedom , it's the economy and thought .
As the Kant said " Be bold in use your mind " .

"Freedom is where’s nothing left to loose..." What could mean that all properties are gone: Material properties and the responsibility to take care of these, established concepts and beliefs, wishes and dreams, that were holding one in limiting frames... When all these are lost, because all was taken away from us or we could let it go, recognizing that all this was holding us in dependency, then we might have reached a state of freedom. But is it really necessary to get rid of all ones properties to have freedom? Or is it that one only need to overcome ones identification with all those belongings? Exists 'personality' not only because of the illusion to be what one owns? Getting ones self-confirmation and feeling of existence out of it? Then there can't be freedom. But then it should be possible to use belongings without being identified with them and not having the need to get confirmation out of it. So one doesn't need to loose all to be free, one just need to look through the common game in which one was caught so long. Easier said than done! But we know that this is possible, although it requires a kind of work, hardly anybody is willing and able to do. Questioning oneself and ones property might be a first step. Realizing ones reactions when the need shows up to defend oneself and all the other reactions connected with ones personality… Once started, the process of letting go, the progress will show up by itself and one will be able to respond to whatever shows up and take it as a challenge, responding out of ones new gained freedom!

By the way, there is a spelling mistake in your question; instead of 'man' it should say 'human'.

I think it was Socrates who said that the greatest form of freedom is slavery.
I think what he meant was that if you're a slave you're completely free from having to make any decisions or take any responsibility for your actions. Making the point that if you conform to the norms of society rather than kicking against it, you are actually more free to do what you want because people leave you alone... Where did I read this? In an interview with Russell Brand in the paper yesterday, of all places!

I think what gives a person freedom is the reality that you control your life. It's yours to make of it what you will, if you don't have the life that you want it's your fault for the most part. I have three disabilities and if I don't' have the life that I want it's because I didn't fight hard enough for it. You have the choice of where your life is going to go and if you don't take advantage of that you can't blame anyone else but yourself.

Freedom is never given. It is already there. Whether man accepts it or not is his choice. Yet, freedom is relative to the environmental constraints placed upon man. Absolute freedom is an impossibility.

Freedom from reason to complain, unimpeded access to his or her objectives and having wisdom in advance of stupidity. Realistically? Pure chance for all things follow it.
The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

knowledge.
You can't be truely free unless you know what it is you are deciding and what the options are that you have. Many people are not free because they are not actually aware of the choices open to them.
