I think this is a way to kill the london system, or at least easily equalise

After this position, even the opening explorer agrees!

I might be wrong. Anyone care to disprove me, or discuss this?

The position you showed is better for black. However, the original position is not the starting position of the London System. The London System arises after:

After this move black at least equalizes rather simply. Your line is fine, but here is how I always play as black against this:

I am not sure how you reached the position in the diagram, so could you please post a series of moves? Thanks.

You can't even reconstruct two missing moves?

There's no reason for anyone to allow white to get an advantage in a London system if you're playing black. I have a friend rated about 1800 who plays the London, and I always get the advantage against him as black even though he is playing the most theoretically correct moves. When that sort of thing is happening to an opening, that's how you know an opening is garbage.

I believe it is this move order. Many london system players use 2.Bf4 move order to avoid this variation.

What line did he suggest?

1....e6 and 1...g6 both avoid the London rather than kill it. Anyway you would have to know in advance that they would play the London and white could just play 2.c4 or 2.e4 or anything else like pfren said and your plan is pointless.
