My concern with the confusions between political and metaphysical freedoms is that leftists have often seized upon this confusion to broaden the concept of "rights" into the metaphysical range.

Political rights like the right to free speech and others defined in the Bill of Rights--basically rights which prevent people from applying force to you--have been joined in many leftist manfestos by others like a "right" to food, shelter, clothing, medicine, etc.

These "rights" usually imply that one should get these things regardless of whether one pays for them or in any way has done anything to receive them.

Of course, this basically makes slaves of those who grow the food, provide the medicine, build the houses, sew the clothing, etc.

I don't think anyone would argue with Roosevelt's Four Freedoms as he described them. Rockwell's paintings based on them are among my favorites. But one has to be careful with definitions and concepts. Goals like "Freedom from Want" are admirable, as long as they don't drift imperceptibly into the idea that one has a right to force fellow citizens to provide for them.
