Freedom, equality is delusional in its very nature.

The answer should be pretty clear to anyone who has read Orwell or Huxley. However, I would like to quote Orwell here :-

"IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

WAR IS PEACE"

What you're thinking of is anarchy. Where there are no laws. That's not what the OP meant. It's a sense of personal freedom that isn't achievable with the way the governments have society locked down. Nothing to do with abolishing all law.
But I'll use the OP's argument against you. Who regulates this freedom? Who enforces it?

It's not the same. There are varying degrees of freedom. There is only one degree of equality... equal or not. So regulating freedom isn't bestowing absolute power as the people tend to choose a degree thst suits them. The one who bestows equality has absolute power.

There are different ways to achieve equality and different ways to achieve freedom.

What would be the ways to achieve equality? Equal for certain aspects like opportunities, rights, or status (I can't see this since the notion of hierarchy is gone)?
