    these are all important to communists it's just that the bourgeoisie have something completely different in mind when they say these words. When they use curated metrics like the "freedom index," they're measuring freedom of the bourgeoisie, happiness of the bourgeoisie, and liberty of the bourgeoisie, as a class, to do whatever they want with their property, which includes of course the means of production, the land, and the labor power they have purchased from the nominally free proletariat who only have their labor power to sell.
