Libertarian Death Cults
This article is adapted from my unpublished book on the rise of the far-right in the Americas based on research and lived experience in the Silicon Valley in the 1990’s and the 2000’s and in Argentina in the 2010’s and […]

3-M Menem, Macri & Milei
The younger Milei fans are mostly working class. They voted against the economic slump and corruption that comes with low wages and high inflation as epitomised by the nationalist social democrats; the divided Peronist factions. Many voted for Milei even after their lives had become harsher as the economy shrank under his government. Milei’s support waned a little but continues to critique Milei’s destruction of the health service — notably the Garrahan Central children’s hospital and the treatment of poor pensioners.
El reto de salvar el futuro de la ONU, vista Latina
Presidente Petro llegó a la conclusión de que es hora de que las personas libren una batalla para resolver los problemas de la humanidad, de modo que podamos unirnos. Revivamos ese pensamiento mágico que nos ha permitido sobrevivir mediante una revolución global. Si la vida logra triunfar sobre su propia extinción ya no será la oligarquía global la que gobierne el mundo, será derrotada para permitir una verdadera democracia de base.
THE UN AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE, A VIEW FROM SOUTH AMERICA
Nobody is listening any more
Burning South America
What is it going to take before we realize that this socioeconomic system is the gateway to hell? How long will we allow ridiculous industries bring disaster and ruin to what is left of this once beautiful subcontinent of America? […]
Agustin Laje Replaces Milei in Mexico
AMLO did not seem too hurt at missing out on a reunion with Milei. “I am not in in agreement with [Milei’s] way of thinking nor his way of being.” said AMLO at a Presidential press conference when asked about Milei’s (now cancelled) visit.
Los viajes iluminares de Milei por Europa
En resumen, la comparación entre Argentina en 1900 y Irlanda ahora hecho por Milei no es válida. Irlanda es un mal modelo. Tal vez debería Milei aprender algo de Brasil, cuyo PIB está creciendo y no desplomándose un 5% como en la Argentina de Milei. No hay duendes irlandeses en la economía Argentina. Sí hubiese que usar un pintoresco aforismo argentino para describir la visión económica de Milei, Lo siento Manuel Adorni, ¡Será un “nube de pedos”!
Milei’s visionary travels in Europe
In short the comparison of Argentina and Ireland does not apply. Ireland is a bad model to use. Maybe try Brazil whose GDP is growing and not collapsing 5% like Milei’s Argentina. To use a quaint Argentine aphorism, Milei’s economic vision of Argentina as a modern Ireland is a “nube de pedos”.
Argentina, Un Colapso Orquestado
Javier Milei es miembro de una facción extrema de la secta libertariana, seguidores de un desconocido pseudo-filósofo muerto, Murray Rothbard, que también se autodenominaba economista. El entonces candidato presidencial Milei nombró “Murray” a uno de sus perros clonados en su honor.
Javier Milei: Las Primeras 50 Días
Una semana barata en Santiago de Chile podría costar dos millones de pesos sin salir a cenar pero incluido el autobús desde Mendoza y eso será el salario de tres meses para cualquiera que todavía tenga trabajo
