THE UN AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE, A VIEW FROM SOUTH AMERICA
Nobody is listening any more
Climate Change
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? […]
Closing Down the State
Javier Milei has taken Argentina into uncharted waters, a schizophrenic journey in societal destruction. The last time Argentina tried anything so radical Carlos Saúl Menem was the hero of the IMF (in late 1980’s and early 1990’s). The Menemite experiment in extreme neoliberalism ended in abject disaster in 2001/2002.
Los Think-Tank Argentinos y EEUU que nos llevó a Javier Milei
Esta sección examina los mecanismos, las instituciones, los patrocinadores (y algunos efectos económicos extremos en la argentina) de una red global de think tanks libertarianos en Argentina, analizando su influencia sobre los votantes en la elección del Presidente Javier Milei. […]
Reconstruction Pact, Anybody?
On February 12th in Italy Javi said he admitted “feeling a profound contempt for the state” which he described as a “Mafia”. One can only speculate how his partners in crime Caputo and Macri feel personally about Javi’s Italian terminology. Liberalism cannot contemplate state policy for social, cultural (except in the negative sense of cultural Marxism), or environment because these non-monetary concepts don’t have a value which can be counted in dollars.
Milei la Topadora y la Huelga Nacional
Paro General: Las políticas ultraliberales de Milei están diseñadas para beneficiar a los buenos en la sociedad que él llama “la gente de bien”, pero el coste lo asumen otros grupos y esto ha sido aplastante para los pobres.
Milei the Bulldozer and a National Strike
The way Milei recognises these “better” conditions means that the costs of adjustment are being borne not by his famous (caste) but by the working classes in Argentina, especially those employees that are considered by Milei to be “collectivists” i.e. they think that they might have a better chance of being paid better with better conditions if they organize as a union
Argentina en las manos de Díos
Las elecciones presidenciales de 2023 demostraron que los argentinos están desesperadamente cansados de los fracasos económicos y la corrupción. Estaban dispuestos a darle una oportunidad a Javi (o a cualquiera nuevo). Aunque muchos ahora se arrepienten, la mayoría de los votantes todavía se resisten a admitir que al votar contra el peronismo pueden haber cometido un error muy grave.
Milei, Mi Ley
Algo tenía que fallar. Simplemente no podía continuar al ritmo implacable que lo había hecho hasta que la sociedad reaccionó. La ministra del Interior, Patricia Bullrich, amenazó a sus recursos humanos (ciudadanos argentinos) con leyes anti-protesta inconstitucionales, pérdida de beneficios […]
Milei’s Last Supper Speech
While still on the election trail Javi had been asked by a journalist how he could effect change, since as a President alone, with his tiny party, the LLA, which has only one state senator and very few deputies in the House of Representatives? How could he Javier Milei pass laws? His answer sounded somewhat dictatorial. I will rule by presidential decree!
