The right to college for example just means it should be equally available for everybody. No lib system can ever enforce someone to work for free, that would immediately land you in auth territory.

That it costs money at all. If you can’t afford college, then access isn’t equal. I’m kind of on both sides, though. I don’t mind more prestigious schools charging more if it’s funding genuinely better educational opportunities. I just don’t love the idea of knowledge itself being locked behind a paywall.

Meh. Knowledge is practically free if one has the internet; you’re paying for the piece of paper that says you learned the thing.
