It laid the ideological groundwork for the type of selfish, unfettered capitalism we see today and created the mentality of “individual rights” trumping rights of the larger community that we see played out in US cities being completely unable to address the homelessness crisis and crime generally. An absolute batshit way to run a society, especially an incoherent pluralistic society like the US. This type of polity will always lose out, eventually, to a strong, top-down cohesive society

It works as long as there are underlying organic community structures that keep individual impulses under check and shape legal and political systems to adhere to established norms and cultural traditions.

the problem is that liberalism eventually becomes "anything goes," "anyone can come in", "every man is the center of the universe"

there's no mechanism within classical liberalism to stop this thought evolution -- because it was designed to be a philosophy that attacked traditional institutions

Agreed. The connection between "individual rights"/unfettered capitalism and the degradation of the family and community is one that Americans avoid mentioning. The insane focus on "individual rights" also results in elevation of the political system and the courts for resolution of issues because everyone wants the magical imprimatur of the courts or the system ("my rights are guaranteed!"; "democracy has spoken!"). One side has to win and the other lose.

In other advanced countries you have a more realistic view of government and a more collaborative and consensus-oriented approach. I see it a lot in how the legal systems in these countries operate vs the U.S. So often the government will step in, often informally, to resolve big commercial disputes that in the US would go through a protracted litigation. There's a lot less autistic legalism elsewhere because they don't have this classical liberal approach.

those policies would be inconsistent with the "individual rights" espoused by liberalism, so you're talking about trying to perpetuate an incoherent political system

to go further, liberalism would have been fine had it been limited to upper class anglo, land holding males, but that's not reality and it's not how a liberal line of thinking ultimately plays out
