Well, their principle is power. "One does not establish the dictatorship to safeguard the revolution, one makes the revolution in order to safeguard the dictatorship."
So, if your principle is freedom, for example, you'd oppose abortion if you see it as murder, since murder is sort of a big infringement on freedom. You'd also be against lockdowns as they're anti-freedom.
I do have to disagree with you here somewhat though. If your principle is freedom, you do not automatically have to oppose lockdowns. With any issue of complexity, multiple principles will be at stake, and it depends on how you balance them.
But it just goes to show they don't value freedom. They believe in lockdowns because they think it's up to a central authority to force "safety" on people.
I would argue that it is not about safety or even "safety". I lost that illusion, despite initially supporting lockdowns, when they told everyone to go out and protest for violent thugs who got themselves killed.
