Hey, @bretdevereaux.bsky.social, I love you, but maybe don't denigrate the Dutch Republic and Switzerland as pre-liberal because they had aristocracies and therefore deficient in comparison with the early United States, which had slavery? acoup.blog/2024/07/05/c...

Who said they were deficient? The point is simply that they're not a product of liberalism, ideologically, which is true - they're too old. Also, not Switzerland, the Old Swiss Confederacy. That is a meaningful distinction in terms of time and structure.
