I find the idea interesting, that a man could have total freedom. That would mean no state control what so ever on the man. I'm not talking about 'OK SO YOU WANT MURDER TO BGE LEGAL?"!#=", well, please go ahead and complete the aneurysm.
It is fair, since you can always denounce your citizenship, so it's not like YOUR state is oppressing you in this case. It's just that there are no states that would allow things like complete anonymity. Can you imagine it? Complete anonymity. I'm not in your system, I don't have an SSN, I don't even exist. OR, perhaps a better way is to have a system like the Swiss bank. I have a code and they have a code. We have a way of synchronizing and doing a handshake that we both recognize to be legit parties. I, as a member of this state, and the state verifies me as it's legal, anonymous citizen.
As long as I'm born into a state the registers me after 5 minutes I just got here, to life, I'll never reach the anonymity and freedom. Of course, we could always clean those records, so it's not like ... a damage that can never be undone. It can be undone, it just won't be undone.
Even outside the states databases and records, I still have things that binds me to my state identity. I can't live without it, I can't get a house, I can't get anything. Except if I buy everything straight cash, and even that is traceable, but in practice, it's pretty anonymous.
Of course this is not what we commonly think as oppressive, but in another notion I'd like to wonder why we, as humans, are born into systems and not outside of them, and later on choose to join or not. Please, don't take this into 'well you'd be out of safety nets the state provides' and other boring details. That's not the idea.
And we'll never truly be free when we are inducted into mandatory schooling, an education that simply teaches the issues of our discourse, but who is to say that discourse is important? Or relevant? It teaches you how to function in the very system you are trapped into, or a member, however you'd like to think. Yes, I can always denounce myself from that system, but I can't move into another system that would accept the option of complete freedom, as in no state control what so ever. This is not exactly anarchism though.
I'd like to see a state, an experimental one at least, or a country within a country, that would allow those privilidges. You choose what you let others know about you. You choose what you want to do. You choose everything for yourself, everything. Because at the end of the day, your options will be limited by the standards of the state, it's not like you can just say 'swipe that record away, become unaware of my existance, please'. And to the point, if you don't have that option, the state owns your ass. Which it does, unless you resign. Then again, it is fair deal, you are a member and your passport or whatever state identity is your silent acceptance of that fact. If you disagree with it, you can always denounce it and resign. But you have no options, because the other states are the same in this regard.
