Summary
The major issue that divides liberals (advocates of liberty) from “liberals” (statists) is the question of the importance of economic freedom. As the statist sees it, economic freedom is the “freedom” of the few to exploit the many. The right to vote, on the other hand, is common to all men. Hence, for statists, the dividing line between democracies and dictatorships is drawn in answer to the question: Are elections free or not? But it will be noticed that totalitarianism is the implicit criterion here: any situation which is not yet totalitarian would be described as “free” by the statist.
