I would argue that society -taken as a sum of all human societies- has gradually liberalized ever more as time goes on. We have steps backwards, and of course there are pockets like Russia and the DPRK et. al. that drag the average down, but I think (condescending or not) the arc of history leans towards 'little l' liberal. Even in those two examples, there are at least some individuals who have things and freedoms we would associate with a liberal society.
