I don’t know anything about the background.
“Zionist Milei wins the Argentinian presidency pledging to dollarize the economy and break all relations with Argentina’s main trading partners.”.
What made people vote for this guy?
same as every fascist to date, a deep capitalist crisis and the inefficiency of liberal democracy to keep it’s word.
in short, argetina took some big ass loans to imf during their military dictatorship, so they are in a permanent crises since that.
Even in a financial sense isn’t that just terrible for 90% of the people there.
yes…yes it is
Latin america is still very anti-communist, so if you run a campaign blaming everything on the leftists, you are going to be popular. It really do be as simple as that, milei just screams stupid incoherent shit and blames the left thats his whole thing.
There were mass murders of leftists throughtout all latin america and its a wound that it is still bleeding.
Plus Macri, the ex president owns a lot of the media literaly so it is quite easy for him to push for an agenda
the other option was the economic minister and they are in 140% yearly inflation and 40% poverty.
Pouring one out for you argentinian comrades
rip, stay safe. you never know with these fascists
Living in Brazil and seeing this is so sad, my argentinean friends, we already experimented with the far right candidate here and you could see how fucked up everything was here and now you want a taste of the same?
At least I’m doing well now and I’m going to ask my friends if they want to come here they can crash on my house while they find something.
you won’t find anything like that over here, sadly the right is taking a hold of the working class
owari da
In all seriousness, I’m not Argentinian, but I’ve been told that Congress and the Judiciary are not aligned with Milei. Hopefully this means only a term of stagnation and no policy instead of actually deterioration in Argentina.
from what I’ve seen, this is just to save face right now that people are tense, after day one they will align and start to say that he is not that bad, we can dialogue and reach a middle ground and etc…
True. The main thing they care about is talking without actual actions, and they would rather fascism take over instead of excepting that the centrist systems of liberalism’s version of democracy has failed. They fail to see that sometimes there isn’t a “next time” to rely on for them or their parties to exist let alone run again.
is not that think vs act thing, my point is that this so called unaligned never even considered to oppose him or slow him in any way, instead they will legitimate him in every way, because he won “playing by the rules”.
so they say they won’t support him just out of demagogy, because election still fresh, people are heated.
I’m sorry comrade. That’s rough.
dudes an ancap💀
That sucks, stay strong
horrible news, please stay safe. hoping he won’t last long.
Massive defundings and privatizations in sight…
And :
And b.t.w., contrary to what is often said, the huge i.m.f. debt(, with an 8.07% interest rate, more than others,) is the responsability of the right, as usual :

Mandatory libertarian point I see
All pedophiles are nazis and all nazis are pedophiles.
Ackshually it’s ebepepheberebophile. And she’s a 3000 year old dragon anyway.
It’s to allow youth to vote, right?
anakin smirk
It’s to allow youth to vote, right?
16yo are already allowed to vote in Argentina.
I cannot understand how common Argentinia s would read this and think: yeah I will benefit massively from this platform. So then I wonder if they read it or not?
It doesn’t help that the opposition was a default career politician.
No, no one reads anything it is just a hate, contrarian vote.
It’s funny because Trump has delusions of adequacy and genuinely thinks the reasons he got elected is because he was a fascist, and not because his opponent was Hillary. He’s cranking the fascism up to 11 in a desperate attempt to get re-elected and all it’s doing is turning people off. Hell, even his hardcore fascist base turned on him after whining nonstop about losing to a barely-conscious liberal cadaver.
What are the chances we see this guy run his country into the ground. Like that libertarian town in New Hampshire that got overrun with bears but on a national scale? This sounds like a nightmare to live through for any Argentine comrades.
Some people compared him with that, lol. I really dont know how much he will be able to do, but he will fuck up as much as he can.
He seems geared to be as subservient to Israeli and US interests as humanly possible. If there is one thing the US is good at, it is expediating states that want to prostate themselves like that.
The only possible obstacle I have heard is that their parlimentary body is pretty opposed to him and could be a roadblock to things like adopting the USD as the national currency.
Country is already in the ground.
He is definitely going to attract a lot of private investment so we will see a short term gain in growth but a massive decrease in living standards and material condition for the majority. I really hope this sparks some working class consciousness.
he isnt going to attract investment because he needs to make deals with the right wing on parliament.
Chances are 100%.
He wants to privatize all public services. And undergo dedollarization.
There is no silver living.
he’s basically said he’ll rip out 90% of the government without replacement. I wonder how realistic that is given the powers he now has. can he even do that legally and practically? aif not, I’m sure he’d happily become dictator for life.
Pretty sure he will end up as just yet another neoliberal comprador. And as such do great harm to the people of Argentina.
he cant.
Now we will get to see to happens when a PCM redditor becomes the leader of a country, unfortunately.
Will the Milei government be able to cancel the BRICS membership before it takes effect?
Yes, and if he doesnt it will be like macri o bolsonaro and mercosur, they wont use it
shit
Hopefully it can accelerate revolutionary potential, at the very least
