Dawg Brazil is literally run by an unelected Supreme Court that threw JB in prison for like 40 years and openly supports PT as โthe one and permanent ruling partyโ what did you EXPECT do you also bet on Kimโs elections?

If some ancaps or libertarians persist in claiming that the Nazis were socialists, then why shouldn't I be allowed to label Milei an anarcho-capitalist?
Ancaps dislike being misunderstood themselves, yet they feel free to redefine other ideologies or subject them to excessive, arbitrary interpretations.
If one adopts a perspectivist stanceโarguing that there is no single "correct" interpretation and that history is open to various readingsโwhy abandon that perspective when refuting critics of anarcho-capitalism?
To be clear, as a perspectivist and post-structuralist myself, I agree that there is no definitive, "correct" interpretation of history. However, a misreading is not the same thing as a valid alternative interpretation. At the very least, one should understand the conceptual definitions before launching a critique.

I think because of praxeology. It's a great tool.
Though, Hayek's focus on information is also very good...
Tbh saying one is better than other doesn't make much sense to me. Both made useful insights, both were wrong about some things.

There is a canonical critique within the Austrian School that portrays F. A. Hayek as a thinker who betrayed Misesโs apriorism. He is accused of epistemological relativism and of justifying state coercion. A new essay examines this charge.

This is what England really looked like under Social Democracy
Replying to @Dr_W_E_Bulmer
This is a picture of England under Social Democracy: redistributive taxation; cradle-to-grave welfare state; full employment; nationalised rail, water, power and much else; active state-led industrial policy; strong unions and secure jobs; fully-funded NHS; free higher education.

"This is not to say, of course, that the importation and translation of Russian writings ought to be prohibited. Neurotics may enjoy them as much as they wish; the healthy will, in any case, eschew them."
