Argentina's new president.
    #28553431 - 11/23/23 12:02 AM (2 months, 3 days ago)

I'm here to watch the shitshow unravel :thumbup:
only time will tell how the story goes.

From extinguishing the central bank to gutting half of government departments.

What a show this could be! Or shitshow, but yknow, we'll see.

Quote:

As such, he plans to extinguish the Central Bank.

A self-described “anarcho-capitalist,” Milei’s libertarianism was a novelty for Argentina. He has spoken in favor of loosening the country’s labor laws and promoted a vision of starkly smaller government to boost economic growth.

That entails eliminating half of the government ministries, including health and education. As a symbol of the deep cuts he champions, he has at times campaigned with a revving chainsaw in hand.

Quote:

Chainsaw in hand, ‘anarcho-capitalist’ Javier Milei upends Argentina’s politics

His legions of fans call him “the crazy” and “the wig” due to his ferocity and unruly mop of hair, while he refers to himself as “the lion.” He thinks sex education is a Marxist plot to destroy the family, views his cloned mastiffs as his “children with four paws” and has raised the possibility people should be allowed to sell their own vital organs. He is Javier Milei, Argentina’s next president.

Pretty sure getting rid of the national bank and switching to USD will make all Argentinian pesos(?) worthless overnight.

I guess that's not much of a change for a country with ~200% inflation over the past year, but...it's definitely an interesting strategy. Heck, the announcement itself will lead to basically infinite inflation.

He'll probably do fine. It's argentina, so the bar is already pretty low.

My man is just softening the nation up for the next leftist insurgency.

I saw people getting excited over him but he's super pro-US/Israel and wants to move away from BRICS, and turn away from Russia/China. So in other words, he's an idiot. Siding with an empire during its decline does not a smart man make.

He's right about the central banks, but if his foreign policy is stupid then so will be his administration.

He’s not actually against the central banks.

He’s just like…Pinochet’s retarded nephew.

Who wouldn't want to move away from BRICS? That's a long hold, with incredible risk. He is looking to do something quickly.....he reminds me of a wrestling manager from the WWF.

I've already noticed some articles calling his extreme liberal, anarcho liberal and some anarcho capitalist

Seems to be a bit of disparity in reporting.

There is a lot of people who focus on the fascist alliance between the state and capital and call it "far left", trying to tie it into the workers seizing the means of production.

Anarcho capitalism is basically Randian libertarianism with the same attempt to make it sound leftist.

When capitalism fails, it's because it's secretly communist. Not because capitalism fails.

I love this whole mentality that the US and Europe are bad and an evil empire in decline, and Russia and China are good and rising and definitely not waging any wars to take over other countries. :rofl2:

China is being pushy with their 'fishing' boats. I guess it's not war, but it's definitely rude!

Along with building Islands so they can claim a bigger part of the ocean.

They're just dredged up sand like all those fake islands in Dubai that the ocean mostly swallowed already.  Probably easier to just demolish them than capture them.

In an actual conflict, I suspect their military value would be mostly limited because you'd just bomb them into oblivion. But if you want to control all the shipping and the ocean around there, then it would make sense.

I think that's their real goal, to seize all of what they call the "south china sea" so they can control 100% of the shipping through there. It's one of the most active shipping lanes in the world, with most of the commerce from most asian countries going through there, so a lot of money is involved. Not to mention the massive amount of fishing that happens there.

In the process, they'd also be able to control a number of asian countries by controlling most of their economic activity. Vietnam, for example, has a huge amount to lose because china claims 100% of the ocean off their coast. So anything Vietnam wants to ship, they'd have to go through China and in the process China would gain control over them.

Their military value is entirely limited to SAM sites. Their economic value is immense, however, expanding the borders of Chinese waters significantly. Having that 50 mile economic control zone before international waters starts basically gives China control of the local shipping.

It's 200 miles.
