Stumbled Upon this Sub Recently, Confusing Comments & Findings
Maybe around half the posts I see on here seem to be in near unanimous agreement in the comments that markets are evil and the middle and lower class deserves a right to X or Y. What happened to this subreddit?
I’ve looked at several posts and have seen no mention of mises, praxeology, the action axiom, and the nature of economics as a value free science which can be deduced from the axiomatic concept of action. has anyone in here read human action? man, economy, & state? literally any book about the subject?
this sub seems to have members making posts in support of freeing the markets, and then these left wing people come and get hundreds of upvotes at the top comment fallaciously conflating your right to liberty with the parasitic and coercive (positive) right to take someone’s property to sustain your liberty and life. there is no mention of the greatest tools in the libertarian ethical movement, namely the normative implications presupposed, apriori, within the nature of argumentation, and its following prescriptions derived from that axiom.
the austrian method isn’t just the summation of it’s conclusions about freeing the market; it’s a value free social science that makes particular conclusions based on derivative conclusions from the action axiom.
