“Read Mises, not Marx” is a saying that has been printed on many images. That is, when studying political economy, one should read the classical liberalism of Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) and not the socialism of Karl Marx (1818-1883).

Any attempt to paint it otherwise is either dishonesty or ignorance. Read Mises. Not Marx” was posted on Twitter by Libertarian Party of Minnesota on January 26, 2022.
     
   
Wikipedia: Ludwig von Mises
Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises (German: [ˈluːtvɪç fɔn ˈmiːzəs]; 29 September 1881 – 10 October 1973) was an Austrian School economist, historian, logician, and sociologist. Mises wrote and lectured extensively on the societal contributions of classical liberalism. He is best known for his work on praxeology studies comparing communism and capitalism. He is considered one of the most influential economic and political thinkers of the 20th century.
 
Wikipedia: Karl Marx
Karl Heinrich Marx FRSA (German: [maʁks]; 5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a German philosopher, critic of political economy, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary. His best-known titles are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto and the four-volume Das Kapital (1867–1883). Marx’s political and philosophical thought had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic, and political history. His name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.

Берлин дахь Корона вирусаар шалтагласан Германы ЗГ-ын тэнэг бодлогуудыг эсэргүүцсэн өчигдрийн жагсаал. READ MISES NOT MARX гэсэн баннер барьжээ. Герман хэлтнүүдээс төрөн гарсан боловч Герман хэлтнүүддээ мартагдсан аугаа эдийн засагч маань эргээд Германдаа эргэн ирж буй бололтой.

Yesterday’s demonstration in Berlin against the stupid policies of the German government, which was an excuse for the Corona virus. He held a banner reading READ MISES NOT MARX. It seems that our great economist, who was born among German speakers but was forgotten by German speakers, is returning to Germany.

This the year I discovered that a bunch of my friends lean to communism. I can understand why they lean anti-capitalistic but it looks like they haven’t learned why Bitcoin means hope.
Gives me a opportunity to start a convo.
As a Berlin protest sign said: “read Mises, not Marx”

Your claim that the rich oppress the poor is wrong—unless they are in the political class. People generally get rich by producing commodities that people want. Read Mises, not Marx.

There are people who identify as libertarian socialists who truly believe in free markets & voluntary interactions. We’ve got no problem with them.
I feel like the authority vs liberty divide in politics is way more important than the left-right paradigm.

Human Action
The masterpiece first appeared in German in 1940 and then disappeared, only to reappear in English in 1949. It was a sensation, the largest and most scientific defense of human freedom ever
