Mises, the Neocons, and Ron Paul

January 3, 2008

UP writes: “Reading Mises on Marxism, and thinking about the neocons’ attacks on Ron, I see the neocons really are commies after all. Not like I didn’t know that already!”

Ludwig von Mises: “Marx and Engels never tried to refute their opponents with argument. They insulted, ridiculed, derided, slandered, and traduced them, and in the use of these methods their followers are not less expert. Their polemic is directed never against the argument of the opponent, but always against his person.”
