Positive Liberty.. to steal?

Icelandic Leftists have, for the past few months, worked hard to push the false term "Positive Liberty" into the daily discussion. Wiki defines:

Positive liberty is often described as freedom to achieve certain ends, ...

Its counterpart, Negative Liberty, is, of course, the

individual's liberty from being subjected to the authority of others.

Clearly these two are opposites. The positivist defines his "liberty" as the right to certain products or services, even if it means forcing others to give up their rightful property and the labor of their bodies.

Positive Liberty is in other words the freedom to steal. There is no way around it. If my "liberty" is about access to material goods produced by others, and to be given to me through the tax-system or some other police-enforced system, then my liberty boils down to the "right" to steal.

The sales' speech of those supporting this false notion of liberty takes on many forms. A few that have popped up in the Icelandic debate are,

1. "Positive liberty aims on giving people freedom from the oppression of the consumerism and the capitalists, but those aspects limit the individual; the liberty to use ones talents as best as possible for the sake of the society as a whole; the liberty to be an active participant in the debate and a voice to be reckoned with no matter who you are and where you come from." (expired link)
2. "And surely [the liberty to be free from coercion] is important like the libertarians say. "The freedom to something" is, however, also important. To reach this kind of freedom, the society must be governed according to the ideals of the Left or else we have inequality of wealth where some are doomed to poverty. Those who are so unfortunate have, truth be told, no liberty to many things the mind desires. The reason is their financial incompetence, which stops them from fulfilling their dreams." (#)
3. "Liberty, in part, is about access to material goods." (#)

Now, I'll be the first to admit that the whole political philosophy in the Icelandic debate is not an a very advanced level. It is more or less about shouting the fanciest slogans and excite the public. That's why the quotes above are a relatively easy target for the supporter of absolute (negative) liberty. Liberty, says the positivist, is about giving the Left the power of the individual's property, so it can be divided among those who are not the owners of the property, or in short: The old communist ideal reborn, while the Cold War corpse has hardly cooled down.

This positivism is hard to fight. It takes three words to say, "Divide the wealth", and receive applause and praises. It takes a little more to explain the death and destruction that follows this mentality, and describe the impracticality and ruthless lack of justice that it carries with it. But the battle must be fought. The Left's obsession with other people's money must be ended, one way or another.
