kathy kelly Mises Fanboys Irony
Ever notice how many on the extreme right have started to claim the title Classical Liberal? Von Mises is their hero, in spite of their rabid support for just the positions he theorized caused the collapse of the Roman Empire.
They love to invoke the "dramatic fall of the Roman Empire," these anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-choice, anti-freedom "conservatives." Oddest thing is that their economic heroes, like Ludwig von Mises, theorized the Empire collapsed because its quasi-free-market-based economy couldn't cope with inflation, growing income inequality, and the costs of maintaining a huge army to enforce control. Slippery slope, these little details.
