That's overbroad, as it would suggest liberals couldn't achieve similar results under a monarchical model. Glancing over at England, I can see ample evidence to suggest merging the executive and legislative branches into a parliament, defanging the courts, and defending the super-legal powers of the monarchy does nothing to inhibit liberals from running wild.
Separation of Powers (and, to a lesser degree, Federalism) allows independent parties to operate with varying degrees of power in order to maintain enthusiastic participation in elections. All these different offices with varying sizes and scopes and appointment processes will guarantee relevance in the minority party and therefore guarantee an organization invested in that party's continued leadership and organizing activities.
If it didn't exist, the worst the bourgeois would have to fear is the Japanese or Mexican or Turkish model of a single dominant party that's backstopped by the military.
this nerd thinks we care about the pathetic justifications libs make for not being able to do good things
