Try posting something that ISNT a mises quote.
That was probably the first time I have quoted Mises in awhile.
I have no interest in placating a low quality individual who will pretend whatever I say that he doesn't like is evil in lieu of an argument.

It's ridiculous to think that leftism or liberalism comes within a mile of "Hitlerism". Liberalism is an inherently centrist ideology, and leftism is literally the exact opposite side of the political spectrum from Naziism.
The only way this flies is if "Hitlerism" is a stupid word that just means "authoritarianism", in which case left and right can be authoritarian so it still doesn't make sense.
This type of simplistic and elementary false understanding of history and economics was critiqued in the very writing that quote comes from and in his other writings.
Totalitarian ideologies with much in common are not complete opposites. Labeling them opposites does not disprove the position.
Nowhere does Mises state that Liberalism is Hitlerism. Mises advocated Classical Liberalism over Socialism and wrote a number of exemplary books to that effect.

It's the kind of thing an edgy 16 year old would think is smart, but you're supposed to grow up and actually learn what words mean. You've failed to do that which is why you're universally mocked.
This more aptly applies to your posts here. You are unable and unwilling to tackle the content and points so you resort to this childish posturing and snobbery.
A handful of addled authoritarian leftists disliking me for criticizing their ideology and not sharing their political beliefs is not 'universal mockery' and such immature claims do not prove me wrong.
You have the understanding and false arrogance of a middle school atheist.
