@@DominicSteMarie No, I didn't use the "Libertarian definition". I said that this a matter of math. Let's say that the amount of corruption for 2 hypothetical nations with the same GDP is 10%; however, "Libertarianstan" has a government that eats just 10 billions of dollars of the GDP, while "Socialistan" eats 100 billions. Therefore, if for both the amount is the same 10% of corruption, than it follows that "Socialistan" will have 10 billions drained through corruption, while "Libertarianstan" will only have 1 billion drained. The more power you give to the State, the more corruption. It's a simple matter of math. Also, the more laws a country has, the more corruption it has, because there will be more reasons to circumvent those. And more incentives to get close to the agents of power. It's not by coincidence that socialist countries are rotten to the core with corruption.

I always get pissed when people say he "devalued the Peso" He didn't really devalue as much as in was being honest with the actual value of the currency and move it closer to the black market price (which is the one common folk use since nobody could access dollars at the state sanctioned price there was before). To put things in perspective the official state sanctioned price was 1 dollar equalled 370 pesos, while the black market was trading between 900 to 1000 pesos per dollar.

As an Argentinian myself I can ABSOLUTELY say you are right, the peso never was as close to the dollar as they said officially, prices always were 3, 4, or even 5 times the amount the official peso was. Plus if you wanted to buy dollars they would apply so many taxes that the difference between that and the black market one was next to invisible. Milei did the right thing in putting a more honest number to the peso, mostly because it did nothing to change negatively the prices right after, we all knew the real value and now is closer to what it is. That is just being honest with your people.

@@farenhaid13421 problem is nobody outside or Argentina understands that we literally had like 20 different dollar vs peso valuations/prices depending on circumstance (remember dollar Qatar or dollar Coldplay) so they just say the new government devalued the peso because they take the official value as reference (which would be true in most countries except for Argentina or Venezuela 😂).

Dzien dobry! Great video Hubert, and thank you for following my country's political news and history. I have been following since Russia's invasion :D Just wanted to mention a couple of details about ARG that you haven't considered: The "Everything was going nicely until Peron came and ruined everything" narrative is incredibly oversimplistic and has been repeated over and over again here for decades, by the very same people who also ruined everything in every opportunity they had to govern. You did not make any mention of the 60s-90s decades in ARG, which were actually the moment in which this country stopped being a developed one and failed to catch up with the rest of the world's growth. In fact, during this period, for 30 years Argentina had the lowest average economic growth in the world. I humbly encourage you to further research this, as it's the main window to understand what went wrong. Going to Milei and current Argentina, tbh the situation for the government is absolutely impossible and precarious. They must take incredibly unpopular measures, like raising the bus/train tickets by 1500% in 3-4 months or increasing gas/electricity bills by 400%, at the same time that current salaries in Argentina are around 300 USD on average, and goods prices aren't so different from, say, Poland. Today, for example, Milei's team announced that they will re-create an income tax that Milei actually voted for its derogation when he was MP, just 3 months ago, and after declaring that he would rather cut his own arms before creating new taxes. In short, the situation is extremely dire and complicated, and the upcoming months will determine just how much patience the middle class, which is currently earning 400 USD a month but has lived most of their lives used to a higher living standard (and that was and is Milei's main electorate) and if they will continue to endure thought the pain of the process, or rather succumb and denounce Milei as a failed emergency surgeon.

[@brucelesourd3074]

While its "wait and see" conclusion is the correct one, this video would be more informative if it spent more time capturing the details of Milei's political and economic philosophy, and less time giving voice to personal attacks on him that are likely baseless. Milei is one of those public figures who is often painted as "crazy", but when you listen to any long-form interview with him, you'll find he can clearly explain his policies, back them up with references to economists and political/social scientists, and tie everything together in an articulate, thoughtful way. This of course makes it difficult to attack his ideas on non-ideological grounds, so opponents resort to personalized attacks to appeal beyond their base. Terms like "psychopath", which he certainly could be since that diagnosis does not preclude coherent thinking, are used as a shorthand way of warning people off and side-stepping the challenge of a public policy debate with someone who has very high breadth and depth in his thinking. It would be nice if everyone put their cards on the table like Milei, but unfortunately if you have in-the-box ideas, you're not required to back them up,, whereas out-of-the-box thinking can be dismissed as "crazy" without much blowback. This is true in business as well as the political and social spheres. It's only the certainty of steady decline and the likelihood of ultimate collapse under the current system that led so many voters to take a risk on his radical policies.

[@thatsillyrabbit]

I don't know man, this may true if you are looking online and social media. But I follow economic researchers and they have plenty of valid criticism for him. And one of the common ones is that many of the economists and political/social scientist that he provides as reference are either politically aligned or funded by conservative think tanks. So essentially backers of his politics, not necessarily of the field itself. Just because someone is articulate and can say 'listen to all these other experts agree with me'; can still feed empty promises and half-baked idea to a desperate people that are looking for any type of change in order to get in power. This is a common path for politics in troubled countries. Admittedly, I'm not an active working expert in economics, but I do have a graduate degree in applied financial economics and follow a diverse background of economists. And the only ones agreeing with him are the same ones that act like 40 years of trickle down economics is good for the US economy because of how well the stock market has done; while actively ignoring/denying that it has also resulted in stagnant wages for the middle class, skyrocketing medical and housing costs, cost of living in general has gone up greatly, and an increase in homelessness and crimes from growing poverty. And the same can be found in the UK under Thatcher. There is plenty of research out there that finds over liberalization of the market can actually harm the every day citizen while feeding more wealth to those already in wealth. Not to say that there shouldn't be an overview and re-haul of regulations and governmental inefficiencies. But there is such thing as over correcting. And over correcting is a valid criticism, and the one I have predominately seen made. Not based on 'psychopath' or how you are describing it. One of my favorite quotes from a policy researcher: "Communism and anarcho-capitalism have the same thing in common. They are simplistic to understand and sound great on paper or in a political speech, but both fail equally in practice."

[@brucelesourd3074]

No doubt there are absolutely many valid criticisms of Milei and his policies! But that doesn't mean its EASY to make these criticisms compared to the obvious lies and oversimplifications of other politicians. I think this is best illustrated by your final quotation... if one thinks Communism is "simplistic to understand", then one's understanding of Communism and its history must be limited to grade-school propaganda. So this, taken out of context, is a pretty simplistic and reductionist take on Milei - not as bad as calling him "crazy", but adjacent in its facile dismissiveness. I have no doubt this "policy researcher" has some concrete and competent arguments to counter Milei's... but if you're going to boil it down this far, you might as well just bring up his dead dog.@@thatsillyrabbit

One thing about Argentina's story that is much overlooked, including in this video: Before the turn to stability from 1865, there was a destructive series of civil wars from independence in 1816 onward. And the land tenure system was (and remains) terribly unequal, a legacy of the Spanish colonial system.

If you don't then you honestly should avoid giving your opinion on things you know nothing about. He managed a balance by cutting retirement funds, budgets for education, science, welfare, etc. the dumbest person alive can do that. All the while indenting the country to the IMF even further since now state income from taxes is the lowest in 9 years because he destroyed people's purchasing power. And this is just the beginning, unless congress or the people stops him we will be seeing the destruction of all national industry as it happened in the 70s and 90s.

I'll explain again. Private companies can do business with whomever they want. But the Argentine state will not give contracts to companies from dictatorship run countries. So for example, before Milei the Argentine state could hire Chinese companies to do infrastructure work or whatever, now they will not. However if a private Argentinian company wants to do business with a Chinese company they are free to do so, freer now since Milei will drop all tariffs to 0.

I truly hope that Argentina does fix its problems and finds its place in the sun again. As well I’m hoping Milei moderates his views and is a successful president even if I don’t agree with him ideologically. But sadly I don’t have much confidence. Also I find it freaking hilarious that he is this super anti government libertarian who sees the government as the enemy. But as soon as he’s in charge he begins beefing up the police and military in preparation for massive crackdowns. I live in a region with a lot of American style libertarians and all the ones I’ve spoke with are the same; they hate taxes, hate the government, and want absolute freedom. But all of that disappears the moment there is a crime around them or a group they don’t like starts protesting; then they scream for the police to crush them as violently as possible. One of them was even self aware enough to tell me, a truly libertarian utopia state would require everyone to believe in libertarianism and go along with its ideology. Which is impossible, human beings bring human and all. So anyone who doesn’t should be ‘removed’ from society. At least he’s fucking self aware. But once again those are my personal experiences and they might not be representative. It’s just interesting seeing a bit of correlation.

Basically the libertarian government primary job is to keep law and order, but otherwise keep their big noses and grubby hands out of the citizen's business. If that means hiring more police or judges to keep the peace and handle private property disputes so be it. That's the primary responsibility a government is supposed to have above all others. Other than that they pretty much want zero welfare programs, no government owned businesses/schools, and nearly zero regulation and licensing laws(license as in government won't allow you to work unless you have a government approved license to do the job).

This had nothing to do with welfare. It was first right wing government put them into debt. If you think that is corruption you have not seen the "private" version.

[@gaborrajnai6213]

Oh running a state is the most lucrative business ever. You can get taxes and give nothing in return, which makes your books positive until a revolution breaks out.

Argentina isn’t socialist at all ffs

@@gamervox1707 False, the debt is always generated by the fiscal deficit

[@gamervox1707]

@@muiponcomuiponco772 yes, and that not why Argentina had a lot of it. also pure right-winger increase debt because they will put the money into their love programs like giving welfare to corporations.

Ridiculous?! What's ridiculous is thinking that using force against others as a way of life is good or right.

The moral of the story is that kids embrace socialism if you want to be poor

Regardless of his politics, with the third largest party in their legislature (~26.5%), it seems questionable how much could be done. Plus even if gets the other major party that seems closer to his goals, that is just barely getting to a narrow majority, which tends to have it's own issues.

Only for two years and already got his major reform bill through the “house floor” and seems to have the votes to pass in the next two days. He is holding financing to provincial goverments hostage (Either they vote in favour or he forces the local governments to extreme austerity measures by taking away a tax he can veto and the governors want)

[@jsealejandro06]

With two years I mean there will be midterms where he can get a lot more congress votes in case economic recovery has started by 2025 which if the current bill passes is quite likely

[@marcv2648]

All he has to do is shrink the size and reach of government. Functional markets solve problems, not government. Milei is trying to teach Argentines this basic truth. Nothing magic about it.

[@waywardgeologist2520]

14:27 he didn’t say stopping trade with China. If it is in the private market he doesn’t care who one trade with.

I noticed everyone proclaiming the immediate fall of Argentina, sometimes proclaimed to be in mere days after the assumption of office, have been laregly silent after latching onto [most recent thing]
