Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I wouldn't take the mises institutes word on anything. Fascistic adjacent right wingers larping as libertarians would never accurately identity fascism.
My main takeaway from this article is that "Austrian Economist" is apparently the new euphemism fascists are using to try and trick people into thinking they're doing something other than fascism.
I would argue it always has been. Just as anarco-capitalist or what we consider right wing Libertarians today have always been fascist. Who were largely too selfish to be swayed by or buy into nationalistic or ethno propaganda. They will fight alongside those who do to empower wealthy capitalists. While pretending that they support freedom. But they would never lift a finger to actually guarantee someone had freedom and access to it.
Can you mention examples of his fascism?
Yes and what's worse I shouldn't have to. But as I stated before right-wingers who LARP as Libertarians are just fascist adjacent and can't be honest.
Clearly lowering inflation, auditing public spend and not printing money are fascism of the highest level.
Not like the previous leader, who locked the population against the constitution and put an economic minister as the de facto president for 2 years without no one electing them, that's not fascism, that's freedom and democracy and liberty
