The fundamental flaw of liberalism is the focus on the individual. The logic is that the individual is the base unit of society, so protecting individual freedom and rights is the best practice of governance. The problem is that the individual isn't actually the base unit of society. Think of chemistry, if you break down a piece of iron into smaller and smaller pieces eventually you get an atom of iron, this is considered the base unit of iron because it is the smallest you can break it down while still maintaining its natural properties; if you break it down further into protons, electrons and neutrons it sizes to be iron because it no longer has the properties of the element.
In the same regard; definitionally, a society is a collection of individuals. That is the most basic property of society. An individual can not be a group, so an individual does not retain the properties of a society. Therefor an individual can not be the base unit of society. The smallest you can break a society into is a family, that is the smallest you can go while still having the properties of a natural collective group. So the fundamental rights, freedoms, and maintenance of the family should be paramount, even more so than the rights of the individual.
