It doesn't matter if he was mainstream. It does matter that he was right and unless you have actually read the man's written work you really aren't in a position comment on it. I would point out that the level of energy waste in the Soviet Union and the rest of the Warsaw Pact tends to underscore how bad central planning was and still is.
I would also remind you that Hayek got most of his ideas from Mises and he would never have approved of how big governments have gotten in the west.
