The socialist concept of freedom "liberty" as viewed by neoliberal philosopher and Nobel Memorial Prize Economist Friedrich Hayek is that "the use of 'liberty' to describe the physical 'ability to relieve oneself what I want', the power to satisfy our wishes, or the extent of the option of alternatives open to us ... has been deliberately fostered as factor of the socialist parameter ... the picture of collective energy over circumstances has been substituted for that of individual liberty."

Social anarchists see negative and positive liberty as complementary concepts of freedom. such a view of rights may require utilitarian trade-offs, such(a) as sacrificing the adjustment to the product of one's labor or freedom of connective for less racial discrimination or more subsidies for housing. Social anarchists describe the negative liberty-centric view endorsed by capitalism as "selfish freedom".
