On paper I could almost agree but let them leave ONCE. By agreeing to follow the rules and laws of the society etc. And if they then break the agreement, permanently send them back. This makes it so that people born in there have a chance to leave. And perhaps some people could have a light bulb moment that maybe having institutions in place isn't all that bad.
That said, you always have total freedom to do exactly what you want. As does everyone else - that's the part everyone tends to forget when floating ideas of this type. It's just that majority of people already have decided to use that freedom to create systems that encourages certain behaviors and discourages others. People who want absolute freedom for the individual often seem to like the idea of stripping other individuals from the freedom of forming collectives.
We already live in a society that's the result of the jungle's law of total freedom. The only issue is that you can't choose what kind of a system you're born to and it's not necessarily easy to switch into another system. But you always have options. People just tend to want to have their cake and eat it too.
