I know a few Argentinians and since I live in Chile I know a lot about what's going on there. They have a lot of useless ministers for almost everything, at this point the previous government could have easily added the 'ministry of non-important matters' Their state manages the education really bad, many Argentinians complain about that, all those things managed by the state work really bad and are fueled by taxes. I agree that Milei's ideas are crazy, but seeing the options in Argentina, he was the less bad option there.
Imagine a state sucking almost every currency from every citizen just to fuel useless state institutions. I hope Argentina will recover with this change.
I guess we are all about to find out how true that is.
As an Argentinian living abroad and having left the country for how unbearable it was, I can tell you it's true. I'm not saying some of those things aren't important, but Argentina's Government is like a crackhead. You give it some money and expenditure capabilities, and the next thing you know is at the shadiest dealer, buying as much of the worst stuff.
You need to cut the vicious cycle somewhere. Unfortunately for Argentina, that place is Welfare State.
You've got to understand that politics are never so straightforward. Bolsonaro's premise might have been one, but the execution might have been another.
So has come to pass with many presidents in Argentina, promising to solve the issues, and making them worse.
Not everyone might like Milei, but the truth is that he was the lesser evil, and by a long margin.
Great discussion and arguments, mate. Top level. e/π levei.
When has a far right guy like this ever been successful?
AFAIR, Thatcher wasn't half bad. I mean, she was elected three times.
Your question is irrelevant. Milei is libertarian not far right.
posting this in c/boringdystopia is stupid
