Are you trying to convince yourself you are on to something—or to convince me? You don’t seem to understand, I read Mises before I read Marx. I considered Mises to be an ideologue whose theories answered nothing, provided no understanding. Upon reading Marx, it was obvious that his theories we grounded in socio-economic realities and that he was defending the interests of the workers, while Mises was defending some amorphous bankrupt ideology.
The march of events has confirmed Marx to be correct and Mises as just another capitalist apologist who deserves little if any serious consideration.
