Liberty and freedom aren't the same things. If you're in complete solitary, sure you have complete freedom. But what does that matter? That doesn't comment on how we should structure our societies. Liberty isn't unchecked freedom for every individual. Unchecked freedom for every individual would in fact run counter to preserving liberty for every individual. Unchecked freedom means I can steal your stuff or kill you. Liberty means the opposite; I'm free to do as I please as long as it doesn't infringe your ability to do the same.
