2010 comment edit
This page is titled law of equal liberty defined by Spencer. However, a search of Social Statics reveals numerous uses of law of equal freedom, but not a single use of equal liberty. Should/could this page be renamed law of equal freedom, which is the doctrine named by Spencer? Also his quotes have minor errors which need correction.SpaceSailor 22:02, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
I concur that the original discussion refers to the law of equal freedom. For example, see the citation discussing Spencer and George. [1] A simple solution would be to create a page for law of equal freedom and direct it to this one or vice versa, direct this to the new one. --Skywalker8 (talk) 08:45, 20 March 2019 (UTC)Skywalker8, 2019

Equality of Opportunity edit
If we were all equal then we would all have the same ability to run, speak and claim the same number of children as being ours. People are not equal and some are better equipped for life whilst others have disabilities. WHat we do need is EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY or an equal chance to find suitable work, food, shelter, education for our children and knowledge about how our social system works.Macrocompassion (talk) 07:32, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Libertarian liberalism is in no way socialism, folks edit
Spencer was in no way a socialist. Nor was Benj Tucker. You might include a ref to Josiah Warren, Equitable Commerce, etc. You might also refer to St George Tucker's discussion of this subject in his edition of Blackstone. You can consider these people anarchists in that they were opposed to the Whigs. But their principles of individual freedom are consider "far right" by today's socialists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.145.174 (talk) 21:42, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
