An incumbent president trounced by a political novice by 10 points will break the existing systemHe'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
Whoever comes next will more likely than not try to build on what Milei started because going back to the status quo will be unthinkable.
I think he will definitely have success. The only question is how much in my opinion. The current leftist/socialist policies are that bad.
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.
I'm on board with the U.S. trying to make ties to South American nations, starting with Argentina.
A lot of people rightfully view the U.S. suspiciously, though, after our Chilean involvement.
Politicians and people in the public eye who shape opinion, etc. shouldn't use certain terms and words to demonize their political opponents. We have a documented history of those words being used in the lead up to genocide or tribal violence.im calling it like i see it. Trump said "live like vermin"
Cmon Brad don't sink to bowl, hick, zeke levels. Those are exactly what melei describes when he goes off. Those types can gtfo. They defend these blue cities. You know like how you have to drive away from your area to get gas because there's a good chance of shit happening. Like the Chicago firefighter who lives down the street from me and commutes coz it wasn't safe for his daughter in the burbs of chicago. People defending that shit can gtfo. They do not need to live or be voting in this country. I never thought there would be areas in major downtown nice spots that have become unsafe. Who wants that? The people on this board who stupidly defend that need to go. Like now!

What in particular do you disagree with? I agree with what you wrote after the bolded sentence.This sounds somewhat crazy to me. I can't say for certain it won't work, but the entire point of having your own central bank is specifically to adapt and respond to domestic policy needs based on how your country is performing, economically-speaking. Using the Dollar doesn't seem much different than pegging to the dollar, which has long caused issues for countries that needed a more free-flowing currency.
I actually disagree a bit. I think if the U.S. would have stopped putzing around with the clowns in Europe who were headed off the deep end regardless of our efforts and focusing on impossible Russo-Sino efforts, it would likely have built a much more favorable sphere of influence in LatAm.

Uruguay Reflects Latin American Drift From U.S., Turn to China
Having tried and failed to get a free-trade deal with the U.S., Uruguay is now negotiating one with Beijing amid a Chinese charm offensive, reflecting similar situations across the region.www.wsj.com
China is spending considerable time and energy building relationships in LatAm, while the U.S. went years without caring about negotiating trade agreements with friendly countries like Uruguay.
Now I know who he reminds me of:

I would say there is a time for Chisel and there is a time for a Chainsaw.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.
ohhhh, I hadn't heard that. I have a Scots fishing buddy who was in the Falklands when he was in 2 Para. He'll be fired up! I'll get some new cuss words out of him from this.and a hint of.... oh man now he's saying they have non-negotiable sovereignty over the falkland islands. let's never forget the hatred between the brits and the argies that carried over into 1986 and diego armando maradona's hand of god

Javier Milei: Argentina's far-right outsider wins presidential election
Ex US President Donald Trump congratulates Javier Milei, saying he will "Make Argentina Great Again".www.bbc.com
Ah.That our Chilean meddling was impacting our foreign policy abilities with LatAm over the past two decades.
It already has in the form of Executive Orders (by both parties).Milei is promising some major reforms such as privatization of government programs, a new currency, loosen gun laws, abolish abortion, cutting welfare payments, and replacing the country's public broadcasters.
Such radical changes are definitely possible as the checks and balances on authoritarianism in Argentina have been slowly disappearing in recent years. These changes have come about as the checks and balances, as can seen in the United States system of governing, produced a dysfunctional stalemate in the minds of the Argentinians.
Could our way of governing with the checks and balances between the three branches of the federal government face a movement toward authoritarianism as is currently being seen in Argentina ?
Who is claiming Milei is authoritarian? I’m not sure you should be posting such things as fact.Milei is promising some major reforms such as privatization of government programs, a new currency, loosen gun laws, abolish abortion, cutting welfare payments, and replacing the country's public broadcasters.

I don't think he did. I think Hoot is saying (1) Mileil might need to use authoritarian tactics to enact his agenda since it will be such a big change but (2) that might be available to him given what has happened previously.Who is claiming Milei is authoritarian? I’m not sure you should be posting such things as fact.

I assume he identifies the root issue of government spending stems from the Central Banks. As long as it exists they can print all they want and he wants to convert to the dollar to take that option away is my best guess.This sounds somewhat crazy to me.

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.
More on Victoria, please.
A great thread. Milei has an opportunity to change the course of his country and hopefully world. Government monopoly on money is one of the greatest evils for humanity. I wish Milei all the luck in the world and pray he succeeds. Cheers.

Certainly not an AOTF contributor.The loser on Twitter starts out praising both and immediately focuses to the guy. I mean, WTF has this world come to?

Anyone who writes like that is bound to be embroiled in crypto fraud.
No way he's not tapping that.

I'm no expert on Argentine history, but I feel like that graph is missing some important context.
I think he will definitely have success. The only question is how much in my opinion. The current leftist/socialist policies are that bad.
Yes, the runaway inflation was caused by the runaway printing of money to pay for the runaway debt.That was kind of a special circumstance then. But yeah, their run away inflation has been killing the country for decades.
Yes, I heard last night the poverty rate was 40% in Argentina … the downward trend shows the increasing poverty.

He will be luck to be alive in 6 weeks. Why you ask.............Because Liberals don't give up power while they are alive.

The only way to refute that graph for liberals, is to "Promise" college loan debit relief while you are in office.Pretty incredible chart if you are trying to convince someone of why socialism is a terrible choice.
