Under Stalin and Hitler you could have ALL the freedom you wanted as long as you DID whatever they prescribed.

Which means that you had no freedom (or depending on how you look at it, it might be considered very little freedom rather than none since they can't perfectly enforce their wills).

Freedom with no privacy would mean you could do whatever you want but someone else would know about it.

I like having privacy, and I consider it important, not as important IMO as freedom, but my point isn't that privacy is unimportant (I think it is important), or less important than freedom, but that its something different than freedom.
