Why classical liberalism is struggling: - Doesn't give common purpose or even group identity - Liberty & equality are at odds - "Live & let live" isn't motivating enough to cohere around - Openness to ideas leaves it susceptible to illiberal ideas that can parasitize from within
Doesn't work. Liberalism has connotations of being on the edge of evolution/development and those qualifiers all have the effect of pulling back from the edge. You have to drop "liberal" as a noun if you want to do that. An accurate term would be broad-minded conservatism.
