Understating the Scope of the Problem

Does classical liberalism, that is a liberal political (dis-)order, create conditions that undermine it? A thorough answer would have to address the role of the oligarchs and the elites and other causes that are destructive of culture, community, and identity. The Anti-Federalists were correct in their intuitions, though perhaps they were not cognizant of the severity of the problems of interpretation with regards to that particular document, the Constitution, and the difficulty of preserving a common republican and federalist tradition.

Azerrad's essay is good in so far as it questions liberalism, but he doesn't name names, and the history he provides is too short, focusing only on the Boomers for the decline, and he doesn't seem to recognize this.
