Debates on Mises's Fascism: Yay or Nay
[edit]Hi! I am in a bit of a quarrel with a fellow user over the state of the fascism section- he keeps adding original research and is not following N-POV, but I would like the opinions of others. F. A. Hayek 23:46, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- User:BasedMises, yes you are. To the onlookers: both BasedMises and User:VolkVulture are blocked for a ridiculous edit war. Further investigation might suggest that these blocks be longer. Drmies (talk) 02:30, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
Ludwig Von Mises supported free competition - the opposite of Fascism (for example he condemned the Fascist National Industrial Recovery Act and National Recovery Administration in the United States), Mises totally rejected Corporate State "Stakeholder Capitalism" Fascist principles and, as already stated, supported free competition. To suggest that Mises supported Fascist Stakeholder Capitalism ideas (rather than free competition), based on an out of context quote from his 1927 book "Liberalism" (the clue is in the title - it was Classical Liberalism, not Fascism, that Mises was supporting in this book) is utterly absurd.2A02:C7E:1CD7:8C00:5D1A:D540:53F2:FD34 (talk) 08:34, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

- Since when advising means sharing views on economics of person you are advising? John Mallows (talk) 11:32, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
Adding this at a much later date - 2024 - I think in the spirit of transparency his remark on fascism should stay. That the quote itself undermines his support of fascism, and he in all other parts of his work much more clearly denounces it, means that only the most obtuse and least interesting of people will be able to contort his quote into a support for fascism. The fact that it is 2 marxist writers who have somehow gleaned from that quote a supposed "support" for fascism just further proves the lack of intellectual rigor from that camp. I think the quote goes to show an enormity of empathy that he had for all his opponents as to never impute bad intentions to any of them.
Philosophical views
[edit]I added this section, as I believe it is the most unique part of Mises' thought, and it was sorely missing. It is thus currently in its first and most rudimentary implementation, and I welcome revision. I have mostly focused on methodological individualism, his arguments against polylogism, a bit on praxeology (not to be redundant with its mention under economic contributions), and a large section on his views regarding teleology of human action. I believe this is one of the most interesting and hard to grasp parts for any new reader of Mises, and deserves much ink, although I may have overdone it to the point of redundancy. I have tried to strike a balance between the incredible nuance and thought provocation of his perspective, with the fact that this paradigm is well outside of contemporary economic science, and may never be reconciled with the direction the field has moved towards.
