Who defines freedom? Who decides where are the limits? Whe have inheritated laws, social and moral rules that reflects the reality as it was years ago. For instance, we still debate the right (and morality) of abortion, and we try to put some limits to when it's acceptable. And the debate always have to include religious and moral reasons over the individual rights, and even over the health issues.
That leads me to the point of the government as the representation of the law, the limit and the judge of OUR INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM. The bureaucracy had become -mostly- the judge and limit to any individual action and thought. As I see it, the government main goal -no matter which ideological or political affiliation they have- is to keep control of the people. They only differ on the strategy they use for it: some are openly repressive, others exclude and segregate by law or using some kind of rewards for those who complies, or even controlling the use of citizens time. If you spend most of your day at work and worried about basic needs, you won't have time to think about your rights or discuss them with other people, articulate political actions to demand for your rights... that's a subtle form of domination that even most "liberal" governments uses.

How to become free...
It's all about education, but not the kind who teaches you to comply. It's about the education on values (non-religious), it's about every one knowing and living on a common sense of justice and respect for each other. Tht way the formal government structure will become obsolete.
We can use technology to bypass some of the governmental efforts to control every action of the people, by sharing the message of freedom, to find some ways of act and organize out of the reach of formal institutions (government, industries...)
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are a threat to the control over individuals, and we can use it that way. The Venezuelan government launched a cryptocurrency (Petro) as an effort of keep control of money, and other governments are spectating of the result.
