It's ironic that you dismiss Mises because his writing simply serves the purpose of the capitalist class, which prevents you from actually reading his logical destruction of Marxian class analysis itself. Marx was more clever than I give him credit for. He couldn't attack the ideas of the liberal economists themselves, so he had to attack the very idea of logic itself. His class analysis says that human logic is different for every class in society and therefore it's pointless to read works by the "capitalist class" because their logic can only serve their needs. That way proponents of Marxian class analysis never have to actually defend their point of view or read any critiques of it. It's invalid by the very definition. Which, by-the-way, shares a trait with most of the fundamental Religions....
Yes, marxism has a lot of the components of cults, thats why it works so well on some people.
Btw, the most ironic part is that Marx said that the buorgeois class had a different logic, but he himself was a buorgeios, therefore (according to that line of thinking) the workers should not listen to Marx. Its the limit of irony a buorgeios telling the workers not to listen to any other buorgeios but himself.
