Argentina’s Javier Milei Warns Davos to Abandon Socialism: ‘The West Is in Danger’
Breitbart ^ | 17 Jan 2024 | CHRISTIAN K. CARUZO

Posted on 01/17/2024 3:07:47 PM PST by Mr. Mojo

Argentine President Javier Milei delivered an address fiercely condemning socialism at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, rejecting the “radical feminist” and “environmental” agendas fueled by socialism as well.

Milei urged world leaders to embrace capitalism as an alternative.

Milei, a libertarian economist, explained in a roughly 20-minute speech how socialism ultimately leads to poverty, how the state “is not the solution,” but rather “the problem itself,” and how leftism has co-opted Western government institutions to further its agendas. Wednesday’s speech was Milei’s first international address since taking office in December.

“I am here today to tell you that the West is in danger. It is in danger because those who are supposed to uphold the values of the West find themselves co-opted by a worldview that inexorably leads to socialism, and consequently, to poverty,” Milei said in the opening of his speech.

The Argentine president lamented that world leaders have abandoned the ideas of freedom, embracing instead several versions of leftism which he categorized as being versions of the same ideology of “collectivism.”

The so-called “World Economic Forum”, originally called the European Management Forum, is rooted in socialism. To abandon socialism means its extinction, therefore.

Amen. He needs ironclad security against the Marxists who literally want his head.

They probably invited him for cover. Makes the organization look less sinister right?

It is not socialism, it is fascism in transition to communism.

“Rebuilding Trust” is the motto for this year’s meeting.
I don’t trust him. They let him speak freely.
Per Admiral Ackbar, it’s a trap.
