I was discussing this topic with @wwf just the other day.
Freedom is an illusion. This chart shows the most "free" relative to the others yet it is all oppressive. The governments of the world exist to prevent anarchy. Therefore, by their very definition, they are oppressive.
So when you look at a place like N Korea, yes compared to that, the US and Canada are free. However, do not believe they are free people....they are enslaved by the system. And it all starts with the economics...the fact the monetary system is designed to enslave.
This forces people into the system of work or government support, both of which are serving the same masters in the end (the banksters).
