    A truly free society maximizes relative freedom for as many as possible, not absolute freedom for some at the cost of freedom of others.

    And yes, this is exactly the line drawn by the paradox of tolerance.

    The difference between left and right wing, non - economically, is still about distribution of power. But not only monetary power, but also the power granted by the positive and negative freedoms we have in a social system. Only that in our societies, freedom and wealth are heavily entangled, and increasingly so.
