Argentina's problem is the control of it by the oligarchy of the peasantry (rural society) who live by leasing hundreds of thousands of hectares of countryside that they have inherited from the year 1890, at that time, Julio Roca, gave away thousands of hectares after "the desert massacre", to all European immigrants. That class left by inheritance until the present a parasitic landowner class that lives for free WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING, they only charge millionaire rents to the agricultural and livestock producers who are the ones who really produce. That Oligarchic Rural Society was the one that always put in power those who cut back on workers and the population in general, and encourage and promote the rise in food prices, in order to INCREASE THE LEASING OF LAND to producers. That Rural Society is the one who asked for the military dictatorship in the 70s, it is the one who always opposed the achievements of Peronism: Salary, Bonus, Compensation, vacations, public health, public education, development of the National industry, and PROMOTION SOCIAL. Today, the country is in the hands of satanic Zionism and the decadent USA, Argentina was left out of the BRICS and left to its fate in the face of the daily rise in food and all products. Whenever the conservative and/or liberal right governed in Argentina, after Peronism, it remained silent in the worst humanitarian crises: "'liberating' revolution", Rojas, Aramburu, Martinez de Hoz, Menem, Cavallo, De la rua, Mauricio Macri They were all the same: adjustment, removal of citizen rights, inflation and DEBT WITH THE IMF. Nestoe Kirchner was the first president who had freed Argentina for the first time since 1970 from those creditors, and the neo-liberal right returned to sink the country, and today like never before!

People compare him to Trump, but he's clearly much more articulate, thoughtful, and knowledgeable than Trump. You may not agree with his ideas, but the man is definitely not as crazy as the videos of him online portray him as. Also commendable that he respects Margaret Thatcher right after stating Argentina has disagreements with the UK over the Falklands. The mark of a wise person is the ability to respect a rival for the things they do right. Not saying I think Thatcher is right, only that Milei does despite being on the Argentinian side of the Falklands issue.

[@nicholasjohnson778]

I'm afraid I'm not well informed when it comes to Chile's economic history. What I do know is unbridled socialism programs have tended to snuff out economic growth in nearly every country where those programs are implemented. They may be well intentioned, but a free market with decent regulatory oversight is the only proven model of growth, widespread prosperity, and delivers superior value for goods and services. I'm rooting for Argentina because something has to change, not sure why you write a snarky comment... but that's the left these days.

[@lucasperboni674]

A free market with no regulatory oversight whatsoever and copious amounts of lobbying by huge publicly traded corporations in detriment of the rest of the people is what we actually see. Prosperity has never, since after WW2, been such a far away concept for most people and all nations that tried collectively freeing themselves of imperialism and getting away from outside political powers have been met with either brute force or pure ostracism. I wrote a snarky comment because here in latin america (And especially in brazil) we have tried time and again to replicate whatever this caricature of a man is trying to do and we infalibly get to see the same results. We don't need more of the same things that led us to this mess in the first place. Latin america was created by people that only wanted to profit and leave nothing behind. We stand to gain absolutely nothing by playing their game, as our nations were created by completely different means and purposes. Even if this man does everything he sets out to do, he will never achieve his goals, because we don't have the same structures in place, and will never have. And the fact that you can't see these obvious facts is just the right wing these days....@@nicholasjohnson778
