Leftist leaders have destroyed the economy in Argentina. I hope there are enough pieces to put some of it back together.

Hopefully he’s successful. We could use a libertarian President in the US.

Great news. He’s got four years at least to do what he can with that pathetic mess down there.

Being a libertarian IS NOT "far right"

These people are political idiots.

You can't call the far right fascists and then turn around and call libertarians 'far right'. Libertarians are anti-authoritiarian!

It means election fraud has been quite operational and successful in America.

<< it’s somewhat comical that many of the “let’s use state power to punish our enemies” folks in the US have celebrated Milei’s rise as if he were one of them. >>

The author is deluded. The overwhelming majority of the “let’s use state power to punish our enemies” types (aka, fascists) in the U.S. are Democrats, and they most certainly aren’t celebrating Milei’s victory.

He could be good, but he has to realize that libertarian dogmas don’t necessarily fit the world as it is.

I don’t read Spanish, and don’t have any knowledge about Latin American economies and history beyond what would expect any well-educated person to have.

Having said that, I know the only long-term successful economic reform in that part of the world was carried about under a military government, that of Augusta Pinochet, in neighboring Chile. It turned that country into the jewel of Latin America. While still characterized by some poverty, it drew illegal immigrants from other dysfunctional economies in the region desperate for work. (Sound familiar?) in recent years the corrosive virus of mass democracy has threatened to overturn a lot of it, but so far the main pillars of the Pinochet reforms AFAIK are still intact.

Argentina is fairly similar to Chile, a fairly well-educated population, a country with significant potential to escape the trap of its stupid infatuation with something-for-nothing economics. But I think Mr, Milei had better strike while the iron is hot. Reform maximally, immediately. The parasite economy is chock full of pressure groups eager to feed. Make Argentines responsible for their own food, housing and retirement, and let Argentines get ahead by providing these things. Let them buy from foreign producers and sell to foreign buyers as they wish, and not as some overeducated minister just knows they should. Let them compete, and let then live free from the completely unnecessary burden of high inflation. Then hope it starts to pay off fast.

He has promised to institute the dollar as legal tender, close the central bank, and close about half the government ministries outright.

People want these enormous wasteful governments cut back.
Here in America, we really should cut government in half.

There’s a strong gay rights contingent in libertarianism.
