Ron Paul: Obama is technically not a socialist

Von Mises is right

Just a nit-pick, but ‘von’ is not capitalized, and if you’re not using his Christian name you typically would not utilize the title (i.e., it would just be ‘Mises’).

At the beginning of a sentence “von” would be capitalized.

"Murray Rothbard once asked Ludwig von Mises at what point on the spectrum of statism is the point that designates a country as “socialist.” To his surprise, Mises said that there was, indeed, a clear-cut delineation: The Stock Market.

Mises said, “A stock market is crucial to the existence of capitalism and private property. For it means that there is a functioning market in the exchange of private titles to the means of production. There can be no genuine private ownership of capital without a stock market: there can be no true socialism if such a market is allowed to exist.” - http://mises.org/daily/144

True, although in that case it would just be Mises.
