“Liberalism . . . forces no one against his will into the structure of the state. Whoever wants to emigrate is not held back. When a part of the people of the state wants to drop out of the union, liberalism does not hinder it from doing so. Colonies that want to become independent need only do so.”
–Ludwig von Mises, Nation, State, and Economy, p. 39
Forcing a people against their will into the structure of a state is therefore the opposite of liberalism: tyranny.
