    The situation of Argentina is so dire than it will be extremely easy to make improvements. The peronist candidate, was the Minister of Economy and left the country with a 150% inflation rate. Even a 50% inflation rate next year will be a huge improvement.

      I suppose we’ll get a real-life example of how ancap policies work or don’t work soon enough, although it seems like he might rapidly become bit of a lame duck. Their other branch of government is run by “Front for Victory” (peronists/left-wing populists) and Justicialists (also left-wing populists). So there’s probably gonna be a bit huge amount of pushback.

      I’m liking some things he’s saying, but for instance

      and denied that humans are responsible for climate change.

      That doesn’t sound good.

      He uses Cultural Marxism as a label to accuse left-wing politics and progressives of enforcing political correctness.

      Nor does that.

      he has been critical of the Catholic Church under Pope Francis, whom on different occasions he called a “Jesuit who promotes communism”, “an unpresentable and disastrous character”, as well as “a fucking communist”, a “communist turd”, and a “piece of shit”, and accused him of “preaching communism to the world” and being “the representative of the evil one on Earth” for promoting the option for the poor, a social justice Catholic doctrine of aid to the underprivileged.

      That’s almost amusing though.

        The dude’s a dyed in the wool fascist and an absolute whacko on top of that. Nothing good can come of putting someone like that in charge.

          He’s libertarian, which should be pretty much the opposite of fascist. But since this is South America what it actually means will be seen only through his actions.

          Agree on the whacko.

          He explained his opposition in clearer terms, while separating it from the organ trade legalization as “a different discussion”, stating: “Obviously, I do not agree with the sale of children.”

          See? A moderate.

              That’s… weird. But I guess good fortune for you for never meeting a fascist.

                You’re too stubborn to understand their argument which definitely makes you sound intellectually unserious.

                Fascists lie about who they are. They dress their autocratic tendencies up in populist rhetoric so people like you take them at their word.

                  There’s a place at Reddit for people like you. It’s called r/iamverysmart

                  But seriously now. Have you ever met an actual fascist?

    Radical reform is like breaking all the furniture, shitting on the floor, and setting the house on fire?

      Compared to what they’ve been forced to endure for several decades by horrible leftist economics, what you describe is an improvement.

      Let’s just hope for the sake of South America that this spreads.
