Default Re: Mises and \"New Atheism\"

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
An anti-something movement displays a purely negative attitude. It has no chance whatever to succeed. Its passionate diatribes virtually advertise the program they attack. People must fight for something that they want to achieve, not simply reject an evil, however bad it may be."

--Ludwig von Mises

This quote sounds great, but I can't think of any reason to believe that it's true. Quite the opposite.

I find your position bizarre.

Regardless of how you personally feel about AC for example, do you think so many people around here would have converted if we did nothing but perpetually bitch about the state, and did not propose a positive alternative (i.e. social order based on peace, freedom, voluntary exchange, etc.)?

I think not.
