Basically what Mitchie said. Anarchy is essentially total freedom, with all the chaos that it brings. Opression is the state of having no freedom. And freedom from freedom means you have no freedom, which indicates you're oppressed.

While I agree that anarchy is chaos, I disagree with the sentiment that anarchy is total freedom.

If you've ever seen Equilibrium, the premise is not unlike that of Harrison Bergeron where society (for whatever reason) submits to total equality in pursuit of a world without want, hate, love, etc. Essentially all the emotions that bring out the best, and worst in humans.

The idea of freedom from freedom therefore is subjective based upon the mindset of the populace of this nation.

Is the motive of "freedom from freedom" altruistic?

Do the people support it?

How will "freedom from freedom" be secured?

Also the poll lists "oppression" but in your initial query you state "suppression" as a choice. Both are very different.

However if your intent was to offer "suppression" as a choice, I would say that suppression could equally apply to the people suppressing themselves, or even go as far as to substitute "cooperation, or collaboration" in place of suppression in the instance I've laid out.

Interesting question, even if it is a bit wonky.

[EDIT] Poll does in fact list suppression as a choice, not oppression.

That was an accident.

From the arguments seen, most say suppression, since people are essentially 'free' from freedom. However, what lead to asking this question is that the expression 'freedom from' could imply that whoever suppressed themselves were free to do so.

Why someone would choose to do that is another question entirely.
