Seems to me that classical liberalism openly uses class analysis when describing the state. Take Adam Smith's claim that "Till there be property there can be no government, the very end of which is to secure wealth, and to defend the rich from the poor." (In his Lectures on Jurisprudence.)

All the best, Tj

^^^^^ CB: Yes, that's spot on. Chomsky might want to take up this aspect of Smith.
