"The social function of economic science consists precisely in developing sound economic theories and in exploding the fallacies of vicious reasoning. In the pursuit of this task the economist incurs the deadly enmity of all mountebanks and charlatans whose shortcuts to an earthly paradise he debunks. The less these quacks are able to advance plausible objections to an economist’s argument, the more furiously do they insult him."
— Ludwig von Mises, The Why of Human Action

on the other hand this is what the mises institute says about it: https://mises.org/library/mises-and-fascism
