BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina presidential candidate and economy minister Sergio Massa conceded defeat to far-right libertarian Javier Milei in the country's presidential runoff on Sunday.
"I have called Javier Milei to congratulate him," Massa said from his campaign headquarters in Buenos Aires.

The disquieting shadow of Javier Milei looms over Argentine democracy

Euro News via Yahoo (https://news.yahoo.com/disquieting-shadow-javier-milei-looms-101438891.html)
As Argentina marks 40 years of continued democracy — the longest stretch in its history — a disquieting shadow looms over its political landscape.
The emergence of Javier Milei, a libertarian economist-turned-presidential candidate with a rhetoric steeped in authoritarianism, presents a stark challenge to the nation's democratic fabric.
Milei's ambivalence towards democratic norms is evident. In a television interview, he questioned the efficacy of democracy, citing Arrow's theorem to argue against democratic decision-making. ...
As the second round of the presidential elections approaches on Sunday, the prospect of Milei's presidency raises each and every red flag, posing a grave threat to Argentina's democratic institutions.
Even if he is not elected, his authoritarian ideas and style, like rallying while brandishing a chainsaw, may linger in the country's political discourse, challenging democratic forces to forge a renewed social contract that fosters and expands democracy. ...

Not knowing anything about Milei, but note again the contrast between “democracy” and “authoritarianism”. First note democracy does not mean everything is peachy, and just because a guy doesn’t pitch the communist line, doesn’t make him authoritarian (again as if that’s all bad, and the irony of communists).

A quick little blurb from a search for "Milei policies".
Milei has pledged to “blow up” the political status quo, shutter the central bank, dollarise the economy and massively shrink the state – ideas that have resonated with many voters, especially young voters, after years of economic decline. A former small-time rock musician and athlete, Milei opposes abortion and supports gun rights.

The Perons took a sledgehammer to Argentina, and it's unclear what Milei can actually do without congressional support for systemic changes. After the depression the country was taken by, if you please, "the siren song of populism." Two shysters who promised the sun, the moon, and the stars with no means of delivering. Eva mercifully succumbed to cancer (given to her by a philandering caudillo-husband) and Juan was deposed before he could turn the place into a total garbage heap.

Milei is a very interesting man. Tucker Carlson on Twitter did an excellent interview of Melei. Well worth listening to.
After you listen to him, one wonders why we do not have a single politician in America that remotely sounds like him. He is brilliant, as he proves with his many references as he speaks, something no American would do.
One of my neighbors spends most of his time living in Argentina, and he waved his hand about having 130% inflation, like it was nothing. He indicated most of Argentina is on the big government teat. Few work, and everyone is paid by the government. That is the same thing that brought down the USSR. I tell you, that socialist nonsense is nothing more than shared poverty and pure self destruction.
In listening to Milei, the whole time, you sit there saying to bad he can't run here, for he makes perfect sense with everything he says.

Thanks, but have kind of sworn off Carlson after he boarded the Tump Train. I did remember his interview with Poland's president. The press had demonized the guy so badly, I expected some kind of Right Wing gooosestepping zealot. But no he was even keeled and sounded very reasonbable.
Which leads us to the root cause. The world wide MSM has gone into collusion mode and purposely is trying to destroy any world leader right of center.

Trump is promising more spending and growing the government
He also subscribes to the Austrian school of economics. Trump’s philosophy is Keynesian, similar to Obama’s

@LMAO
Well,he has to do something because the "national dollar" there is mostly useful as toilet paper.
NOT saying he WILL turn to the US dollar because I don't even know how such a thing would be possible,but "Item Number One" SHOULD be replacing his useless currency with a currency that doesn't require a wheelbarrow of it to buy a loaf of bread.
What we ALL know is that this won't happen overnight,and it IS going to require the help of other free nations to get them back on their feet. MOST of that help should be in the form of rebuilding their manufacturing so that people have jobs that pay,and that the state has outside money flowing in from sales to other nations.
This begins with people coming to understand that this IS happening,even if it doesn't happen as quickly as they would like. It took generations to put them in the economic position they are in now,and this isn't going to completely disappear overnight. Or at all,if the other western nations don't all pitch in and give them a hand.
Which in the long run will help the western nations,too. After all,they can't sell THEIR goods to a nation that has no money to buy them.
-
Argentina’s inflation was caused by printing their currency to cover deficit spending
Sound familiar? That’s what brought on the Trump/Biden inflation we are now joyfully experiencing
How is he going to replace the peso with the dollar when we’re doing the same thing?
He is not Argentina’s Donald Trump. He’s a more charismatic and radical version of Ron Paul. The media labeled him as a Donald Trump because Trump is their Hitler and everyone they don’t like is Trump
-

It's all just monopoly money until it's backed by something real. That includes U.S. Dollars.

All about relativity really. Doing so will probably greatly benefit the average citizen. I'd be happy if we went back to gold backed currency. Ever bitcoin would possibly be better.

As far as reducing government and reining in spending, I wish him luck
He’s gonna find, like this country, every government program has a constituency
We even see that here on this conservative site.
But it’s either cut spending or continue with their inflationary economy
-
Actually if he was able to effectively pulloff completely converting his peso to the $USD, it would strengthen our soverign debt, but the most noticable effects of foreign goods would be cheaper by the sheer fact suppy/demand curves. From a fiscal perspective it would be like adding 46M Americans. Plus you'd see an upshoot of the currency price, if flips the switch quickly and there is a shortage (perceptive or real) of $USD.
OTOH, converting to dollars is pretty much a fungible way of them investing into our treasuries (debt0. And at a time when then nation in question has a 140+% Debt to GDP ratio and $32T of these dollar in real debt. They also will have turned over their fiscal policy to 1 POTUS, 535 elected officals, and about a 1000 Treasury swamp creatures. All iditots Bad move for them from my POV.

Biden has yet to congratulate libertarian President-elect Milei of Argentina on his election victory
Washington Times (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/nov/21/joe-biden-yet-to-congratulate-argentinas-libertari/)
By Kerry Picket - The Washington Times - Tuesday, November 21, 2023
President Biden has yet to personally congratulate President-elect Javier Milei of Argentina following his enormous electoral victory.
According to Argentina‘s electoral authority, Mr. Milei, a firebrand libertarian-conservative, scored a decisive victory Sunday over an establishment candidate in Argentina‘s presidential runoff with 55.7% of the 99.7% votes cast to Economic Minister Sergio Massa’s 44.3%.
It is the widest margin of victory in a presidential race since the country returned to democracy in 1983.
Despite the decisive victory achieved by Mr. Milei, Mr. Biden has yet to issue a personal congratulatory statement to the incoming Argentinian president, such as he did for Liberia’s president-elect Joseph Boakai on Monday. Mr. Boakai won his tight race with 51% of the vote against the country’s incumbent president, George Weah, who garnered 49%. ...

Biden fails to congratulate Argentina's new president, libertarian Javier Milei
By Monica Showalter
Joe Biden has always been Johnny-on-the-spot whenever a radical leftist has gotten elected in Latin America.
But for Argentina's new president, elected by a ten-point-plus margin?
Crickets.
He's said nothing at all to Javier Milei, Argentina's first libertarian president, on his quite truly historic victory in an undoubtedly free and fair election, with 30 million hand-counted ballots, their validity approved by both parties and delivered on election night, that made Milei president. He could have congratuated just the election if he couldn't stand Milei, which we know he can't as a fair-minded formality, but of course, he didn't. The White House web site is bereft of any pretense of congratulations from hoary old Joe.
That stands in striking contrast to his swift congratulatory message to other countries that have elected radical leftist leaders.

The differences between Donald Trump’s economic nationalism and Javier Milei’s anarcho-capitalism are obvious, but that doesn’t make it incoherent to celebrate them both, or to call them both right-wing populists.
People and Populism, Ends and Means
You can celebrate both Trump and Milei—it’s not hard.
Micah Meadowcroft
Dec 1, 2023 12:05 AM
Celebrations by the MAGA right of Javier Milei’s victory in the Argentine presidential election have been met with accusations of incoherence. This says as much about the critics as it does global right-wing populism.
The differences between Donald Trump’s economic nationalism and Milei’s self-described anarcho-capitalism, even tempered by the guaranteed compromises of party government, are obvious. But they share more than “owning the libs.” Or, rather, such liberal ownership is more than an emotionally reactionary opportunity for schadenfreude, but a coherent, if often inarticulate, program of political restoration—that is, restoring the political to politics.
Milei, like Trump, puts persons, and personality, above process and programs.
The temptation for the conservative commentariat, Republican electioneers, and think-tank theorists, on the other hand, has been an effort to make a system out of MAGA and to define the populist moment by a set of principles. ...

My hope is Trump combines some generous anarcho capitalism with his populism in his hypothetical Presidency, otherwise his President may be as disastrous as Biden's. And God knows what we'll get in 2028 then.

A President that has his eyes on the history books and who can ONLY serve ONE TERM is the only hope we have for the survival of America as a free nation of free people.
Even then it is nothing but a "maybe" because come the next election,the Dims are going to be ready with a "stealth" communist candidate. This is why I hope Trump picks a VP running mate that has HIS eye on the future.

Even then it is nothing but a "maybe" because come the next election,the Dims are going to be ready with a "stealth" communist candidate. This is why I hope Trump picks a VP running mate that has HIS eye on the future.
I know exactly what we will get in 2028 if Trump is elected, at least 8 years of democrat rule, and Trump will never pick anyone for for VP that is strong because he can't allow his ego to be outshone that's why we got milquetoast Pence. And at Trumps age people will definitely be looking at the VP when considering who to vote for because no one wants an weakling standing in the wings.

Who ever the Democrats run in 2024 will win regardless who the GOP nominee is.

I'm not, neither am a orange butt monkey, I'm just reality based and it takes no crystal ball to see that even if Trump won, we would lose, the communists would have majorities in both houses and Trump would be a lame duck president all four years. And just like his first term nothing would be accomplished except by erasable EO's.....oh except of course his rubber stamping every insane spending bill put forth by the democrats. Yay so much winning to look forward too!

REMARKABLE! In his first act, newly sworn President of Argentina, Javier Milei, signs an executive order reducing the Argentine government from 21 Departments to 9. A major reduction of bureaucracy and overhead. Impressive.
