Your comment is the only one of value on this thread. I do not expect much considering the obvious morons who frequent this place, such as Jizzortnik, and who have frequented it in the past, such as TheImpossibleIncel1 and Dekachink.

Viewed from the Right, Milei's victory isn't our victory or defeat. But Massa's victory would have been a defeat for us, since it would be the victory of a Left-liberal, whose ideology is far more powerful, and thus far more dangerous, than libertarianism in the world today.

The world can afford a libertarian assuming power if it keeps one more Left-liberal out of power, especially in a country so inconsequential as Argentina. But his government will assuredly be worse in certain respects than that of Fernandez/Massa, particularly economically, as you so observe, meaning that the world's first liberetardian president will likely also be the world's last, at least until the world forgets the horrors that Milei will unleash upon Argentina with his imbecilic laissez-faire globalist extremism.

For those who disbelieve me, Argentina's Left-liberals actually already had a very laissez-faire president in the form of Carlos Menem, of Arab extraction, who was disastrous in practically every respect (especially on immigration and economics, and notice that it is on these two issues that Milei has great overlap with Menem) for Argentina and who Milei admires. Menem's government oversaw what has since became known as the 1998–2002 Argentine great depression. Consequently, Argentina's Left-liberals actually turned away from the laissez-faire dogmatism of Menem and are economically more statist these days. For some reason, Milei wants to drag them back to what will look like those times, but on steroids.

Peronism

Self-proclaimed Peronists are a big part of Argentina's decline. Over a century ago, Argentina had a higher GDP per capita than the United States. Few would believe that Argentina, an obvious second-world country today, was ever that prosperous.

Peronism has also become almost devoid of content these days. Menem, big on laissez-faire and privatization, was regarded as a Right-wing Peronist; later presidents like the Kirchners were economically more statist but were also called Peronists. The closest thing to Argentina's Far-Right, the Bandera Vecinal, is also thought of as Right-wing Peronist. There were also Far-Left Marxist-Peronist hybrids engaged in terrorism, especially during the military rule period. And even Milei isn't completely free from the Peronist label, though it is fair to say that of major past and present Peronists, only Menem comes anywhere close to anarcho-capitalism: there is no doubt that most Peronists, whether of the 'Left' or the 'Right', oppose the ideology of Menem and Milei.

You are of course correct that trying to replace this nebulous Peronism, at least in its less odious forms, with anarcho-capitalism, the nonsense of the likes of Friedman and Rothbard (Milei even named two of his dogs Milton and Murray!), is simply jumping from the frying pan and into the fire.

Well researched and well said. Although economic liberalism may seem important to fixing argentina, the international banking class is very excited to get the chance to steal whatever value is left. The Argentines choose between destroying themselves with a massive welfare state or dollarizing and becoming a globalist pawn, flushing any remaining national wealth out of their land into the international markets.

I am cynical seeing his comments of Judaism as well as his sex issues and support of gender ideology nonsense.

It's to the point where I actually believe "North Korea Best Korea."
