Milei Takes Charge: Argentina’s President Fights Socialism with Free Market Reforms

Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei, understands that the government cannot create wealth.

----
That’s why Milei campaigned with a chainsaw, saying he would cut the size and power of government.
In the United States, attempts to shrink government haven’t gone far, but in Argentina, Milei won by a massive 3 million votes.
In just the first month of his presidency, Milei repealed rent and price controls and eliminated trade restrictions.
Daniel Di Martino, founder of www.dissidentproject.org, who escaped Venezuela and became an economist in America, says it’s impressive that Milei won by promising massive cuts.
The video above covers a little of what Milei has rapidly accomplished.

[@JSantiago806]

People in media that so emphatically say that Milei will fail, forget to mention the elephant in the room: The Argentine left and their politics have failed and have failed ugly.

@@lampard98jr Probably not what you meant but yeah, I kinda understand why eurabians aren't going to embrace libertarianism anytime soon. First, it's a matter of ethics/morals, something euros lack, like every one else. Plus the euro major import - immigrants from fked up countries, will benefit greatly from leeching the stupid native population. So everyone's happy with the current situation. Also, the Left in europe doesn't do crazy economic mess and public services works on a satisfactory level. Not because they're "nice socialists" or something but the more educated euro population won't accept as much BS as, say, Latrine Americans do. And you have money. Everyone knows socialisms lasts as long other people's money last. So it's all a matter of time. Time for the school indoctrination make population dumber, time for the kebabs to replace the native population, time for other people's money to end, which is inevitable in a system that rewards the leechers and punish the productives. And then, when Eurabia reach Venezuela/Argentinean levels of socialist BS people maybe, maybe will react and embrace libertarianism, that is, if there will be someone else left there that isn't worried in beating women for not wearing a hijab.

[@bobthemagicmoose]

I think the logical argument goes like this: demand is inelastic because this is important and people will have to accept whatever is charged. The price then is set by supply. After some horrible mental math by people who don’t know anything “but it should only cost $2! That’s what it used to cost in my grandpas day!” The only reason it costs $5 is because of “corporate greed” whatever that means. So they then set the price to $3 thinking it will just be taken out if corporate profits but the total number of transactions will remain the same. Of course that only really makes sense for the minimum about of water (in most countries) where you have a monopoly on a critical resource that people can’t really adjust their intake or source. Really, the argument goes like this: Ugg, things are expensive! I feel poor while I see people that seem rich! They (the bourgeoisie, the Jews, foreign interests) are “stealing” from the economy and we must take back by force!

Vivek Ramaswamy pushed a similar message, not necessarily from an economic standpoint, but from a pragmatic standpoint, the results of which would inspire positive knock-on effects. Smaller government, fewer regulations, shutdown many three-letter agencies that are burdensome, overlapping, & duplicit. Raze the top-heavy government, clear a path, recondition citizen mindset, to extricate fatasses from sofas, recliners, and couches, to boldly rise up and find work, start a business, and become productive. *_TRUST !!_*

They must be Peronists for sure, I am from Argentina and you cannot blame Milei for what we are suffering when he hasn't even completed 2 full months in government. It's true, we are going through a tough time; the previous government printed a lot of money to try to win the election, they took on a lot of debt, they received money from Lula (Brazil) and China to run an anti-Milei campaign, and still couldn't succeed. But inflation comes with delays, and we are just dealing with what they printed before the campaign; there's still more inflation to come (meaning the inflation they printed during the campaign). Nevertheless, Milei and his economic team managed to prevent hyperinflation. @@user-lh6ow6xg5s

I'm Argentine, I've lived here for all my 57 years and, like many other Argentines, I've been waiting for a project that would return us to the origins of our Republic and its National Constitution from 1853 since the return of democracy. I lived the horrors of internal t3rrorism and those of the dict4torship, and then the havoc caused by the same party that began the depending of the debacle in 1946 and that governed us for 30 of the 40 years in this democracy. I'm not going to cite all the criminal acts commited by tem (you can see some samples of it in the Argentune Legal Information System), but they've subjected us, those who work hard, pay our taxes, are decent and never ask for any subsidy to inmense and constant sacrifices, only to leave us in general ruin. I voted very aware of the hard stage that would come because I always knew that a total transformation was necessary and that one cannot get out of such devastation without tightening one' belt, wich our President warned so many times. Adrede to that, the opposition is doing it did in every democratic era with a President who weren't one of their own: causing profound chais to prevent any progress, without either the forces and/or the justice making them comply with what has always said our National Constitution and the Procedural and Penal Code, compling with the law. There are millions of us who are going to defend what we chose, those who aren't happy are those who accostumed to "daddy state" telling them that it'll solve " "heir their issues, those who live off benefits (great "benefits") not well earned or deserved, and people who omly want a "magical" solution, inmediate and painless, forgetting all the pain that has already happened, perhaps without thinking about an opportunity to recover the value of work, personal effort, dignity, a society where crime, a society where crime doesn't rule the streets and public offices, and that perhaps will rebuild itsef again.

Fun fact, there is a saying by Milei about those government regulated imports, the national companies that benefit from them "Like hunting in the zoo, where the prey (us) can't do anything" Example: - Toys => To defend companies that literally make awful plastic crap as it was the DDR the price of Lego sets are >10 times more expensive as USA/EU - Cars => Very few models to pick from and those that are available cost at leas twice as it's counter part in countries like Chile - Clothing => Same thing as above but even more expensive and compared to the US/EU My hobby is 100% imported (Fountain pens) and I need to follow the next regulations to import: - No more than 3 units of the same product (Example: 4 boxes of 1 USD ink cartridges? Not allowed) - You must pay 7 taxes that account anything from 50% to 100% of the product and delivery costs - You are not told the amount to pay until it arrives at your door Imagine that but for anything made outside the country, all to protect corporations allied with the government, no wonder Milei won
