Capitalism is only useful because it allows us to trade resources and make some profit, but states need to put citizens above all profit (it's not what happens in practise). Individual rights are important but the collective and national security are fundamental rights as well to any concerned citizen. I don't think individual rights means you can simply endanger everyone else's safety because it's an exercise of freedom.
Free speech is good, but like any other right it's not absolute. I don't agree with the ridiculous idea that anything offensive is hate speech, but incitements to direct violence upon others and revolution, civil wars and riots should be prosecuted as forms of endangering public security - After all, who wants to live in such environment?
Property is an important component of human societies - Whether it's really private property or just personal property as socialists propose (a less absolute form of property) it's indifferent to me.
I think humans live to attached to their time's ideology and they forget we have worked societies with countless methods. Nothing guarantees me that in 100 years the predominant system will be liberalism (as it is now) and not a different one or a modified version of liberalism.
I think the State is an institution and just not the government - That's just a part of what the State is - The State, unlike what libertarians think, is Us (the people, yay!), the territory, the culture, the language, bondings, all of it - It is a tool when used trough the government and serves economic, social and cultural purposes. The state should incentive and promote universal healthcare, education, access to culture and healthy environment, a decent housing, reduction of criminality, etc - No, the State doesn't suck at any of this, it's just that we care so much about fucking profits that private enterprises are more useful to corporate welfare when running these sectors. In many ways, the State should restrict the market whenever it is necessary to satisfy our most basic rights. Are private healthcare businesses too expensive and does that cause people to lack insurance? Fine, close most companies and monopolize healthcare. Problem solve - Don't give a fuck about the drawback, we can deal with it.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
