I'm not sure freedom of expression is the main component; freedom from being rounded up into re-education camps or having everything you possess taken from you for the greater good if I say frog and you don't jump fast enough.

When you have such a complete monopoly on force and authority, you can tell people to build bridges or else; hell, you can chase crackpot economic development ideas that starve tens of millions of your own people to death if you want.
