I believe that would be called anarchy.

As a friend of mine who moved here from Germany said "I thought I was
coming to a country where I was pretty much free to do and think as I
pleased, and discovered I was only completely free to be and think like
everyone else".

If you want a stinging critique on how 'free' our

experienced their opened-up society prior to emigrating here.
If you have any Disney-esque conceptions about our society (and I am
speaking of both the U.S. and Canada when I say that), you won't
like their
take on us at all.
In a nutshell, they feel our current state of personal freedom is a
joke,
our economy is about to self-destruct, and our society is extremely
corrupt.
Personal freedom in the US a "joke" compared to the Soviet Union?
Please. The problem I see with society here today is people not
wanting to accept the responsibilities that come with freedom -- not a
lack of the latter.
Oh, try reading what I wrote before you go Ronnie Reagon on me, ok?
They feel our opinion of our personal freedom is a joke viz what
actually
exists.
