    rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.

    Sounds nice in complete void of ideal definition, but even in this sterile ideal you can immediately think that those values are gonna clash, and in capitalism, system which entire reason is maximising profit, naturally the one prevailing over all others is private property. From there we look at our reality and indeed, we see all others trampled, meaningless and being used as fig leaf.
