Freedom vs. Liberty – What Americans Don’t Realize

Most people talk about freedom, but what they actually want is liberty—and there’s a big difference.

Victoria Rader, PhD, grew up in Ukraine under the Soviet Union, where freedom was an internal state of mind, but liberty didn’t exist. She explains the distinction:

🧠 Freedom is something inside you—your ability to think, believe, and feel as you choose.
🗽 Liberty is your right to exercise freedom without government interference.

Liberty can be taken away by oppressive systems. Freedom? That can only be given away.

Vika’s story sheds light on how governments control people by restricting their liberty, and how many in America take theirs for granted. She also breaks down how the Soviet Union used early brainwashing, forced education, and strict societal roles to shape its citizens—and why understanding the past is crucial to protecting liberty today.

👀 Have you ever thought about the difference between freedom and liberty?

As debates about government control, democracy, and individual rights heat up in both Ukraine and the USA, Vika’s story provides a powerful perspective on how governments shape their citizens. She reveals how the Soviet Union used brainwashing, censorship, and forced ideology—and how these same tactics still exist in different forms today.

🔥 Are Americans taking their liberty for granted?
🔥 Can we learn from history to protect our future?
