Compromise

Compromise is a meeting in the middle between two stances.

Ludwig von Mises opposed compromise when it resulted in a logically nonsensical result. However, he also wrote, "No party would wittingly prefer social disintegration, anarchy, and a return to primitive barbarism to a solution which must be bought at the price of the sacrifice of some ideological points." He also attacked interventionism by arguing that "the reasoning of the advocates of this middle solution is entirely fallacious. The conflict between socialism and capitalism is not a struggle between two parties for a greater share in the social dividend. To see the matter this way is tantamount to a full acceptance of the tenets of the Marxians and the other socialists."
