Or some Argentinian football star from the late '60's/early '70'sNot surprised. Those pork chops command attention. He looks an Argentine evil kneviel
That was kind of a special circumstance then. But yeah, their run away inflation has been killing the country for decades.A century ago, Argentina had a top 10 economy in the world and was looked at as a next potential superpower. Now they default regularly.
They need some libertarian spark. So does the U.S. for that matter.

So the far right and immaturity are synonyms in other countries as well

The new President of Argentina, Javier Milei, in his own words:
-he considers Pope Francis a “filthy leftist”
-he says that "redistributing wealth is a violent act”
-he has called climate change a “lie of socialism”
-his governing philosophy is that “you can’t give shit leftists an inch”
-he pledges to end the Central Bank of Argentina
-his view on China is that he “doesn’t cut deals with Communists”
-his views on abortion is: “When you construct on the basis of an incorrect moral principle, the result is filth. How can being able to kill other human beings be a right gained? As a liberal, I believe in the unrestricted right to life based on the defence of life, liberty and property. I defend life, biology says that life begins with conception” @zeke4ahs
-on other politicians: “Micky Mouse is the aspiration of every Argentine politician because he is a disgusting rodent whom everybody loves”
In other words, this guy is absolutely a dream come true.

Is he far right or far far far right? Milei is an Austrian economist who believes in sound money (and Bitcoin). If he is able to implement his polices Argentina will thrive. El Salvador just showed what can be accomplished if you have competent people in charge.Javier Milei: Argentina's far-right outsider wins presidential election

It’s coming. On vanderpump rules when Raquel gave James the engagement ring back he goes “thanks. That’s a bitcoin.” People know.Is he far right or far far far right?

It depends on what your definition of far right is. He probably is far right in the sense of a true spectrum where total government control is on the left side and a complete lack of government is on the right side. If we're talking about the dumb way we've been conditioned to think of left vs right, then no he isn't.Is he far right or far far far right?

I'll cover your airfare.Can I move to Argentina?
We’re on the same page. I was being cheeky. I haven’t read any of his policies that are “far-right”.It depends on what your definition of far right is.

If we're talking about the dumb way we've been conditioned to think of left vs right, then no he isn't.
Thats what Joey Mannarino said. Can't you read?I'll cover your airfare.
A long-time friend retired as Global co-VP International Development for Emerging Economies for one of the former 'Big 7' International accounting Corps. Multiple trips to China and Brazil..Is he far right or far far far right? Milei is an Austrian economist who believes in sound money (and Bitcoin).

Argentine inflation is in triple digits and their net reserves are negative to the tune of over $10B in USD with almost 3B in payments to the IMF due in Dec & Jan.People who’s main objective is to tear things down with no plan of how to improve or rebuild are unserious people. They are just bomb throwers.
I wonder if an Argentinian politician could win solely on a platform of bringing Messi home to play there?Argentine inflation is in triple digits and their net reserves are negative to the tune of over $10B in USD with almost 3B in payments to the IMF due in Dec & Jan.
He has a plan. The question is, will it work? He wants to replace the peso with the US dollar, shut down the central bank, and make huge budget cuts. Sounds like he's already made enemies of all the socialist/communist China-aligned countries in S America.
It's no secret that China and Russia are trying to exert more influence in South America. This is a golden opportunity, with a pro-American leader taking charge of the 2nd largest economy in S.A. to build stronger economic and diplomatic ties and maintain influence over the region.Argentine inflation is in triple digits and their net reserves are negative to the tune of over $10B in USD with almost 3B in payments to the IMF due in Dec & Jan.

I'm on board with the U.S. trying to make ties to South American nations, starting with Argentina.It's no secret that China and Russia are trying to exert more influence in South America. This is a golden opportunity, with a pro-American leader taking charge of the 2nd largest economy in S.A. to build stronger economic and diplomatic ties and maintain influence over the region.
Can this administration look past petty politics to do what needs to be done in embracing this administration? Lula is ambivalent towards us at best and flat out hostile at worst. Chile and Colombia both elected socialist presidents recently and seem to be drifting.
He looks and sounds like a bomb thrower, for sure.People who’s main objective is to tear things down with no plan of how to improve or rebuild are unserious people. They are just bomb throwers.
His only hope is that he scores some major immediate successes that improve people’s lives and subverts part of the ruling class to his cause.He looks and sounds like a bomb thrower, for sure.
But his theory must be that Argentina needs free markets to thrive. Given the list of those ministries, it doesn't sound like a bad idea to throw a lot of them out.
What about his dehumanizing rhetoric?He looks and sounds like a bomb thrower, for sure.

A long shot, but I hope it works.His only hope is that he scores some major immediate successes that improve people’s lives and subverts part of the ruling class to his cause.
pretty wild how much his positions echo desantis/trump etc. he wants to dump the depts of education and health, shrink the size of the gov, all in on culture wars, etc.His only hope is that he scores some major immediate successes that improve people’s lives and subverts part of the ruling class to his cause.
He's got the people on his side, but not many politicians. I'd say it's a long shot he succeeds without going the way of the helicopter ride.His only hope is that he scores some major immediate successes that improve people’s lives and subverts part of the ruling class to his cause.
Not a fan.What about his dehumanizing rhetoric?
His goals:A long shot, but I hope it works.
I assume Milei has studied what happend in Chile with the Chicago Boys. Not sure if he can or wants to do the same (Pinochet had to implement many of those reforms at gunpoint) and who knows if Argentinian economists even think Chile was a success. I know there's academic debate about it.
He's also strongly anti-abortion. Not sure if that's a policy goal or even a firmly held belief as a libertarian. Might just be a political position that a lot of the Argentinians support.His goals:
1. Free Markets
2. Limited Government
3. Individual Liberty
4. Property Rights
Nothing earth shattering for most people living in the U.S. , outside of the Northeast and West Coast. But extremely ambitious for Argentina.
I think he will fail to achieve the goals he has set, but I don’t think he will be forgotten
im calling it like i see it. Trump said "live like vermin"But I'm not sure I'd equate those words with calling someone inhuman or vermin (like Trump just did) or cockroaches, etc. The second especially has a call back and has been used not only in Germany, but Rwanda and Armenia as well.
