My regular followers know how much my perspectives have largely been influenced by the school of economic, political and philosophical ideas and principles inspired by the great Professor Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises and his colleagues and disciples at the Ludwig von Mises Institute where the former is the acknowledged leader.
Although largely unappreciated by the politically brainwashed mainstream. much of Professor von Mises’s views, theories, predictions and warnings are being validated today. Aided by the information age, more and more people are getting to recognize this.

Today marks Professor von Mises’ 131st birthday (September 29, 1881- October 10, 1973).
Professor von Mises set as a personal mission to educate the public from the evils of Socialism.
His life long motto was tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito which comes from Virgil's Aeneid, Book VI; the motto means "do not give in to evil but proceed ever more boldly against it."
Here is the great Mises on the struggle against Socialism
Here is the great Mises on the struggle against Socialism
Society lives and acts only in individuals; it is nothing more than a certain attitude on their part. Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us.
