“This is not possible without the community. Only in community with others has each individual the means of cultivating his gifts in all directions; only in the community, therefore, is personal freedom possible. In the previous substitutes for the community, in the State, ect., personal freedom has existed only for the individuals who developed within the relationships of the ruling class, and only so far as they were individuals of this class.”
How is personal freedom possible “only” in a community? Isn’t this statement contradictory?

I can see why you would think personal freedom within a community would be a contradictory statement but think of it as maintaining your own sense of Identity in a group setting, just like how you show up to class everyday, if you think about it that can ve considered a community or group setting, you are still participating as an active member and giving imput but personally you are still yourself while acting as part of a unit because you have your own ideas and thoughts.
