Reminds me of the subreddit r/austrian_economics in a nutshell. Even if you are not saying capitalism is bad, but merely pointing out where laissez faire capitalism is not nearly as good as advertised will get you branded a communist. Like tankies, but for capitalism.

God, the Austrian Cult of Economics is bizarre. My favorite part is where they explicitly reject evidence, conceptually (‘praxeology’).
Love that one. “Evidence disagrees with our theories? Don’t worry, we have a theory for that! It’s actually the evidence that’s wrong.”
Generally, you shouldn’t brag that your theories are unfalsifiable.
