  > Freedom of speech, movement, sexual preference, abortion are all core principles of the left. Those things are rarely argued on "freedom" principles and instead are argued on the issue of progressive rights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism. And no major left wing figure outside the US has ever argued strongly for unrestricted free speech. Freedom of movement doesn't seem something that is strongly one way or the other, but I'd note that the requirement to carry identification is something that was kept in left leaning countries after WW2 but abandoned in right leaning countries. Libertarianism seems - in principle - more like what you are describing. And in the US Libertarianism is generally seen as a more right-wing view (primarily because of economic issues rather than social though).
