Re: lyin' Ryan: oh what a tangled web he weaves: Rothbard and Chodorov

Lyan Ryan's trying to quote Murray Rothbard against Georgist arguments.


It's been well-established that Rothbard didn't have
clue one about Georgist stuff. At least, he never established
a well-constructed criticism of it.

I hate to say it, but Rothbard was probably out of his technical
depth with Georgist arguments....

OTOH, he likes to argue by ad hominem.

One of his favorite robot-like postings is a quote by Michael Hudson; it mentions Frank Chodorov:

OTOH, it seems like Rothbard approved of this "Nazi,"

"Scorning evasion and compromise, Frank Chodorov saw the State, from early days to last, as a profoundly anti-social institution, the canker in the heart of any attempt at peaceful cooperation by free individuals in society."

In Fascism, the State is all there is. Chodrov was clearly
an anti-Statist. Not a Nazi.

at least in part, as Lyin' Ryan's own posts point out (below is quote from the post, not Lyin's own words):

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.econ/msg/7ae85578005f86ff?dmode=source

" 'Frank Chodorov had a profound influence on the postwar American Right. Murray N. Rothbard, William F. Buckley Jr., James J. Martin, and many other exponents of the free market have cited Chodorov's work as vital to the formation of their worldviews...' "

Here's Rothbard's tribute to Chodorov:
