Contributing all of that to the 'marketplace of ideas' is ultimately a fallacious remark. It cannot be proven or disproven because it casts a net so wide that it reaches absurdity.
It's placing two points far apart in history and trying to point at one thing as being responsible for all of it.

Liberal society, values, and principles are part and parcel of the success of the modern industrialized world. It's precisely the social climate it brought about which has raised the world from poverty to the wealthiest and most free state it has ever been in. It's placing two points far apart in history and trying to point at one thing as being responsible for all of it. No. It's talking about a continuity going back several centuries. It's talking about established historical fact. It's the various communist/collectivist ideologies which go against historical fact.
