“It is not conclusive proof of a doctrine’s correctness that its adversaries use the police, the hangman, and violent mobs to fight it. But it is a proof of the fact that those taking recourse to violent oppression are in their subconscious convinced of the untenability of their own doctrines.”

Welcome to the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land. The fact that despots take recourse to violent oppression (compelled compliance, victimless crimes, government licenses, larceny with impunity {2nd plank of the communist manifesto, police state confiscations, funny money, etc.}) are in their subconscious convinced of the untenability of their own doctrines.

This quote is untenable. This fella is no doubt referencing his own experiences, typical of the mentally ill. The mentally healthy can explain  more thoroughly the experiential causality.  He, Mr. Von Mises, attempted to challenge oppression and failed. The reason of the failure was because he contributed to his own oppression as typically the mentally ill perform, and therefore developing a mind device called a subconscious which is the result of contradictary forces. A mentally healthy does not adapt such a device. The mentally healthy use the fully conscious state to approach the challenging phenomenen of nature.  Any mentally healthy individual will produce rational and tenable doctrinal support for their cause.

Interesting observation.  It's "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" doctrine.  ;-)
