Many people talk of how communism is a “noble concept” but that it can’t work. We are told how people have suffered under communism - the intellectuals and artists who were allegedly targeted and killed in mao’s cultural revolution for example, the tens of millions of ukrainians murdered by stalin, …

Arguing with commies is useless. Typically it goes like this: Communism failed because it wasn’t a true communism. Socialism failed because the people in charge were “bad”. Replace Stalin with someone nice and kind, and you’ll get a recipe for success (go, Obama). Capitalism and industrialization…

I mean, didn’t Mises in Human Action argue that we must rely on a priori justifications alone for our economic knowledge, and that because of this any real world applicatio…

My point was to prove that Communism has been enacted in the past, one can use Mises Socialism work to show its failures.

You are evidently confused, the ‘nature’ of an internet message board allows people to read back through old discussions. This allows us to verify assertions made regarding the history of the board.
