To favor freedom before oppression is not a matter of political conviction but of scope of knowledge. The more we know the more we accept freedom.
Oppression can be based on raw violence. That is a very primitive situation.
Oppression can also be based on the idea of discipline - there must be some structure to avoid anarchy.
This situation is intermediary, between the most primitive oppression and the evolved stage of full knowledge and thus full freedom.
Freedom is complicated idea as it involves all citizens in a nation. Any minority which advocates violence is a problem.
Traditionally this was a problem that could not be solved. It was impossible to reach all citizens with a serious analysis and exchange of experiences and knowledge.
But it is not impossible any more. Thanks to better education, better media and Internet knowledge increases fast.
It is very good. It means that the politicians of tomorrow will rest on knowledge and ideals among their voters, and not on bias and promises of subsidies, tax reductions and the like.
