“Marxism criticizes the achievements of all those who think otherwise by representing them as venal servants of the bourgeoisie. Marx and Engels never tried to refute their opponents with argument. They insulted, ridiculed, derided, slandered, and traduced, them, and in the use of these methods their followers are no less expert. Their polemic is directed never against the argument of the opponent, but always against his person.”
— Ludwig von Mises, Socialism, pg. 19, first edition published in 1922
Nowhere is this concept more clear than the comment section a the Policy Watch blog.
Strange that any post made here that disagrees with Civitas agenda get deleted. 1st ammendment rights on full display on this blog…
YoYoMan,
Thanks for commenting here. Unfortunately, your comment is a complete lie. Spend 2 minutes scanning the comments of our blog, website and FB page and you will find many that “disagree” with us (actually, they more typically are just name-calling, but they are still posted).
Your previous comment was deleted due to foul language (even if partially self-edited).
Keep the language clean and your comments won’t be deleted.
And by the way, the first amendment refers to the government infringing on free speech, not to a private organization editing comments on its privately held websites; you know – the whole “Congress shall make no laws” thing.
Your definition of “foul-language” is the most ‘liberal’ I have ever seen. Keep up the good work.
