> This is what political thought looks like since the liberal revolutions and for good reasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_freedom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_freedom really? Notice that almost this entire article is discussing the various differing opinions on what constitutes freedom, and in particular the trade-offs between positive and negative freedoms. Yes they share some broad similarities, and everyone agrees that obvious historical tyrants are bad, but there's a lot of nuance once you get into the details. >My point is that there is not a single country that can be considered free where you cannot safely own wealth. That depends what you mean by "safely". Plenty of countries charge property taxes, and many have eminent domain laws which can force you to surrender land. Property is not absolute, nor do I think it should be. Which is why I don't think these kind of economic decisions should be considered Human Rights.
