    "My name is Kali and I think Obama is a pretty cool guy because he stimulates the economy and doesn't afraid of fucking idiots."
    See, it's not hard.

    I've stated on numerous occasions that Obama is my bro. He was even featured in one of my videos.

    The American voices are abominations, and I didn't want to give Obama the girl voice.
    We go way back.

    Not all workplaces are construction sites.

    Obviously. A worker is effectively described as management's means of accomplishing some task (Note that in the cases of [collectivist] anarchism and syndicalism the role of management is played by the majority, as opposed to other forms of socialism's use of "professional revolutionaries".), so generally speaking any environment where a managerial force organizes a workforce to achieve some end can be described as a workplace.
    What all socialism proposes it that all of society be members of and subservient to said workforce, which is a proposal that is completely incompatible with technocracy.

    Again, you haven't contradicted my statement.

    I´m a firm supporter of the Austrian School.

    Libertarian economics, or as we call in Europe, neo-liberal economics was adopted around the Western World since the 70´s, replacing Keynesianism, which came before it and caused the crysis in the 70´s (with inflation, high unemployment, debts, etc.) .

    Not in America. Still Keynesian here. And the worst part is, the only politicians even remotely advocating the Austrian School are also Social conservatives and authoritarian assholes. Democracy sucks.

    Wait a minute: first you accuse some people of being authoritarian and then you say that democracy sucks?

    What are you really for?

    They are authoritarian in that they think that the government should run people's lives for them. Democracy sucks because the government then becomes ruled by politicians who are simply playing a game with politics, andnot true leaders. Prefferably there would be a government run by liberals but who hold supreme authority and don't have to worry about the game of politics to create a libertarian government. But that would never happen.
