>>> What the sciences of human action must reject is not determinism but the positivistic and panphysicalistic distortion of determinism. They stress the fact that ideas determine human action and that at least in the present state of human science it is impossible to reduce the emergence and the transformation of ideas to physical, chemical, or biological factors. It is this impossibility that constitutes the autonomy of the sciences of human action. Perhaps natural science will one day be in a position to describe the physical, chemical, and biological events which in the body of the man Newton necessarily and inevitably produced the theory of gravitation. In the meantime, we must be content with the study of the history of ideas as a part of the sciences of human action.
The sciences of human action by no means reject determinism. The objective of history is to bring out in full relief the factors that were operative in producing a definite event. History is entirely guided by the category of cause and effect. In retrospect, there is no question of contingency. The notion of contingency as employed in dealing with human action always refers to man's uncertainty about the future and the limitations of the specific historical understanding of future events. It refers to a limitation of the human search for knowledge, not to a condition of the universe or of some of its parts.

ontological vs epistemological issues and their implications in a nutshell
Hoppe makes the point best, imo.
Most concisely, at least.
As is tradition.
I would love to see a movie of that

When you can turn to the local gang for protection, does the state really exist?

I guess it depends on the exact situation
@everyone merry christmas eve everybody, hope santa treats you guys well this year
uwu
santa, god of consumerism
bless us for our moral deeds
Kneel before the Free market God, denounce German Santa-Claus.
the real santa was invented by coca-cola
Marx is reverse Santa. Gifting himself your private property.
never refer to marx in my presence ever again
Ah the two extremes when It comes to gift re distribution
Santa which is a representation of consequentialist/trickle up/feudalist austrian economics based on good behaviour/favouritism that displaces everyone that doesnt do moral deeds of behalf of modernism, rationalist scientism and materialism + the neoconservative, reductionist culture of excess and decadence among the middle class
And then you have robin hood/marx which purports to make up for all the short comings of austrian economics, but the W O K E culture of victimization and self hatred ™️ are all exhausted from working the post neofeudalist Austrian hamster wheel of debt and death ™️ and too busy on their phones at starbucks to give any sort of meaning to their cause so when they do eventually end up rebelling (when they can be bothered to anyways) they all become accustomed to a even more materalistic lifestyle and then get a shit tier work ethic and as a result which then means they disporportionately dont/cant make food and they all starve but not before the post feudalist Austrian plantation of debt and death ™️ does another neo feudalism with the remaining stragglers thus repeating the same process all over again
~~Tl:dr we live in a fallen world and theres no existential salvation outside of jesus to atone for the human condition and by extension fleshly inequities~~ but ye that bout sums it up

communists unironically think their ideology is like Santa
“we all just get free shit and it hurts no one”
