So is. Liberty is an idea, it is not an object, therefore, if people stop believing in it or stop understanding it, then it is lost. The systems in which man has more liberty are more fragile, because they need people to maintain them, and if these move away from the real sense of liberty, then it easily decays. It is easier to descend from liberty to tyranny, than vice versa.
