FOR THEM to do whatever they want to become supremely rich and powerful: keep slaves, pay starvation wages, rig elections, you name it. THAT'S freedom!

You're free to do whatever you can to help them become supremely rich and powerful. If you don't like your freedom then please disappear.

It's pretty simple really.
