Even though libertarians are known for their advocacy of freedom, it could be argued that their position requires the existence of equality as well. This equality is not the equality before the law or equality of opportunity that can be considered as an equality of freedom. The libertarian style of freedom requires equality of power, where no individual is subordinated by another individual. This interpretation of equality can allow the gap between libertarians and progressives to be bridged since a critique of power could be common ground.
