Will pushing either of these things too far take away from the other?
Lone Star Patriot: The people of North Korea are mostly equal to one another, are they also free?
Lady Laissez Faire: There are many places with equality but not freedom. the people of Venezuela are mostly equal to one another, are they free? More extreme: prisoners tend to be equal to one another but the very nature of being a prisoner makes them not free.

Freedom is more important.
Yes, it directly interferes with equality of outcome.
No, it doesn't interfere with equality of opportunity.

The two things are symbiotic. Can’t have equality without freedom and you can’t have freedom without equality.
