Javier Milei’s new government has kept his outrageously optimistic promises. Within days of taking office, he basically dismantled Peronism, the socialist-fascist system crippling the nation since the end of World War II. He did it by decree: He declared an economic state of emergency lasting for two years, and by virtue of the state of emergency, stopped government control of the economy across the board.

This hilarious anti-socialism meme is going viral, and it's easy to see why. The image shows a yard sign for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, a self-described Democratic socialist, ripped in half. Attached to the sign is the message, "I took half of your sign because you had one and I didn’t. I’m sure you understand."

After searching the web, libraries and bookstores I've come up short so now I come here to seek help. I'm looking for the titles and authors of the best books available that assail socialism. I’ve read some Hayek and Friedman but I’m looking for something more contemporary with a strong focus on modern day Europe. Thankx

No matter if you have a dog in the fight or not, some election campaigns are fun to watch. One current media flap is over a primary election in France which, in the grand scheme of things, means very little to us here. Nonetheless, the rhetoric is instructive and the reaction quite interesting. "You are not heading a government but a band of criminals," Jean-Marie Le Pen said to the opposition in front of a supportive crowd of over 10,000 in his campaign against France's prime minister, Alain Juppe. "Not only are you incompetent, but you are also evil-minded. Your...
