Summary

US white nationalists and market capitalists define “freedom” as the ability to pursue individual goals without state or social restraint. Renewed assaults on basic administrative and frameworks of US and international social structures and “norms” continue to stress individual and small group interests without regard to impact on larger communities and our common humanity.

What are the costs of trying to execute these narrow ideological agendas? How do or should we think about “freedom” in our Governance formations and the Social Structures that influence them and in which they persist? As we continue our collective effort to enter 2024 with renewed energy and vision, we take a moment early on to pose the question: What does it mean to be “free,” especially for oppressed people and groups?
