Been an AnCap for a few years now. Ironically what turned me against the State was working for them. I never known such evil and truly is the coldest of all cold monsters. Mises perfectly articulates everything that I seen and want to learn more about this incredible man. When more people learn about Human Action, reason will prevail over dogmatism. Keep up the good work and keep spreading the ideas of Reason!👍

I started with Human Action, now on to Theory and History. The Theory of Money and Credit will follow.

So many books to read.

“Scales falling from my eyes” - precisely how I felt about 100 pages into Human Action....

I came from the left, and found this helpful.

0.1% of the plays have 99.9% of the shows. We need to show all these plays equally 🤣

This is the first Mises book I read. Got me hooked to Austrian stuff too. I’ve read Liberalism, and am in the middle of Socialism now. Thank for this!

Great episode. I love that book of Mises too. Andy is cool too. His finance videos were very useful in my studies at university.

I loved Human Action. Reading all of von Mises books. Reading Theory & History now. Also, I am a good way into reading all of Murray Rothbard, too. Can't get enough of books that change the way I see the world.

I always recommend this book to anyone in favour of socialism, Marxism or progressivism. If they won’t admit the truth about themselves after reading it, they never will.

I don't think Mises got it all right in his book, The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality. _Everyone_ knows about the horrors of the twentieth century, Stalinism, Maoism, Nazism, etc. Because they think Nazism is _right_ authoritarianism and because they think socialism can _still_ work, the socialists try to argue for it. You know, "We haven't tried it yet", etc. We haven't tried laissez faire capitalism either. Maybe we should argue for it on that basis. I would say this book is one of Mises' worst, but even then, it does show the face of vice in human nature. It does go into that and that's fantastic. That's what I like about the book. I don't think anyone can second-guess a socialist, but there is always more to know about virtue vs. vice.

This was the first book I read by Mises. I checked it out from the library. A great little book!

[Max-nczn]

It makes plenty of sense why rich people support socialism. What's more difficult to understand is why poor people support it.

[ABXDPa]

They always says when someone is critical of capitalism, that this person “envys” capitalists

That is such a stupid non argument

You show how bad your debating skills are, by using this “argument”

You are making it personal, and you do not listen to the things someone is saying

Don’t delete this post !

Thank you, Andy Duncan e Jeff Deist. Excellent explanation.

This is arrogance. Lol. I'm partial to Mises, that's why I'm here. He imediately goes from unjustified claims regarding evolutionary survival to arrogance of the opposition. 34:13
