Rubén:
I am a pure Mathematician who is worried about the failures of central planning currently in place in Venezuela, and with an interest on what what the Austrian School has taught on the causes and consequences of the Great Depression. Other than that, there are many views I read in this forum that are not necessarily related to the two topics above and therefore I do not find myself in agreement with those.

No, that is not true. The views are intimately linked to the topics above. However, you're trying to understand the honest school of understanding human action, within a social democrat, Keynesian framework. Round peg in a square hole.

The reason why the Depression happened, and what that meant for government, liberty and prosperity are part of one large discipline, not modules within a broad and general course.

Ruben, I hate to break it to you, but Armand Hammer was a consummate scumbag.

Why don't you read some history about the OGPU/Cheka/NKVD, Lenin's NEP, asbestos strikes? Famines... KGB files. Their causes and consequences are just as instructive from an Austrian School viewpoint.

It would do you a world of good.

And, no, it is not disloyal to investigate the past of your supposed "benefactors."

Well, I can say from personal experience that your analysis of politics, economcis, and basically everything else will be much more enlightening if you learn anarchism.

A small part of the new traffic that Mises.org has experienced recently, comes actually from people who were initially attracted to my blog and started browsing the rest of this web site.

Fellow Obamaphiles? I hope not.

Your blog does not represent the views of the Austrian school one iota. You are simply using the site as a parasite to promote Obama and socialism. And frankly, I find it disgusting.

He's not full of nonsense. He's deliberately undermining the discourse by pretending to have an interest in Austrian economics and yet he is really just using the site to promote his own statist positions, defending corruption, theft and murder. Ruben is perpetuating a fraud by pretending to be here for one purpose, while conducting a very different one.

So be it, but you aren't even actually defending your own points.

I do not understand the point you are trying to make.

Your hero is Hammer, a legendary scoundrel, thief and manipulator. You do not answer direct questions about your views on philosophy, economics or politics, instead using the site to promote yourself and views completely opposite to the message and foundation of the Austrian school.

Why the dishonesty? Why the trolling?
