In a functioning society, there are always going to be rules. Rules depend on someone or something enforcing them. If a society decides to adopt 'liberty' defined as the lack of all rules and no enforcement to create the dependency you mention, then this will merely breed a different kind of rules. Whoever is strongest will make the new rules and liberty will disappear as quickly as is was put in place. Defining liberty as an absence of dependency cannot work in any society because it's going to degenerate into an unfree one more or less immediately. What's worthwhile to pursue is that all rules apply to everyone in the same way and that everyone has a realistic opportunity to shape the rules together with all the other people. This means participation in the political process, division of powers, transparency to avoid corruption, education for everyone, and enough executive power to prevent some random billionaire from unilaterally seizing power. It does not mean abolishing the organization tasked with guaranteeing those rights.
