>I guess its the "Free world" and "Freedom" isn't working for a lot of people. When the word "Freedom" is so embedded in American culture many do not seem to realise that freedom for the one might be the prison for another. Or as sang by Janis Joplin: "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose"

"Free world" is meaningless demagogical jargon.
"Freedom" as used in the USA, originally meant independence.
It still does, and it still works.
Somewhere along the way, we started equating freedom with capitalism.
That's hogwash.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
