Honest opinion. We’re seeing the flaws of Classical Liberalism and Republicanism laid bare. Those two ideologies have largely defined Western Life and Western Political Thought for the past few centuries. And now their flaws are being laid bare. In a way that can’t be sidelined or ignored as we’ve been want to do in the past. People have endlessly reflected on and highlighted the flaws or perceived flaws of the multitude of other isms and ideologies. Over the worlds many centuries.

But for the most part serious mainstream reflection on these two has been studiously avoided by society at large.
