Compromise
Compromise is a meeting in the middle between two stances.[citation needed]
Views
Ludwig von Mises opposed compromise when it resulted in a logically nonsensical result.[1] 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."[2] 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."[3]
