Liberalism, political doctrine that takes protecting and enhancing the freedom of the individual to be the central problem of politics.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/liberalism
It does not need to imply freeing people from something.
Egalitarianism is the opposite of classical liberalism or libertarianism, since it ascribes no values to the individual.
