  • No country attempted comunism. Communism is a type of socirty, not a regime stance. Various countries attempted socialism, with varying degrees of success. The same thing can be said for capitalism. How many capitalist countries do you see succeeded? Because if I’m not mistaken, no capitalist country that “succeded” did it without exploiting other countries. Although, to be fair, it is more easy for the later to suceed, since it is not designed to make a life worth living, just to make money for very few hands.
















  • Thank you for the quick answer. Okay, so yesterday Milei attended the WEF conference at Davos where he denounced the “woke” agenda, compared homosexuality with children sexual abuse, defended Elon Musk who just a few days prior did a NAZI SALUTE on Trump’s Inauguration… This has been a very weird week here in Argentina.

    The atrocities of the military are not to be forgotten, but I personally do believe it is not their obligation to apologize for their blood

    It is not that it is an obligation for her to apologize. She should not be trying to destroy 40 years of good policy making for remembrance by denying what the military did, what the context was.

    I agree with you that the economic stability is good. Now, will it last? Are the circunstances good enough for the economy to re ignite itself? Because we have to take into account that we have a mostly frozen economy. We need to know if we can overstep the curve and get more job stability, less poverty. It is not that easy to do. He did got inflation to get as low as he could. Was it all he had to do? Not in the slightest, and those who payed for it were majorly common working class citizens. Also, big companies have augmented their revenue a lot in this year. Nevertheless, the point still stands on what will happen. That I’m not sure.

    And I need to be abundantly clear, I’d love for the country to get better and de-stagnate. But I fear it could give rise to disproportionate amounts of power being redirected to the officialism party (which is composed of neo-nazis, genocide deniers, corporate leaders, flat earthers, religious maniacs) and violence being practiced in more physical ways to political opposition via legislative elections this week. Democracy is the will of the people, but it shouldn’t be possible to make things undemocratic or give power to those who do not respect those institutions. We will see. I hope i’m wrong.




  • Hi, sorry that it took me so long to answer this one. Hmmm. I understand your point about the severance, but I need to underscore that even if it’s legal, it does not mean it is the right way to solve the situation. The severances are indiscriminate, not accounting really if the worker is good or not. And are motivated on ideologies much more than efficiency. For example, most of the “chainsaw” as he call his austerity measures, are done on the public healthcare system, public education system, and such. He is even withdrawing funding from Memory Sites (places where the 76’ dictatorship executed, tortured, raped, kidnapped the oposition). But it is not cutting funding from the executive branches, legislative branches or judicial branches of the government, and also is trying to privatize many state-owned companies. Just like the dictatorship did…

    In case of the app thing, well, it is the second time it has done this.

    Economically speaking there seems to be stability. Now, how much it will last, I can’t say. People are poorer now than in the last 20 years, prices still are skyhigh in much of the basic goods, at least in my understanding, and salaries have not matched yet the inflation the shock measures released. So workers are still losing economic power. Also, companies have more benefits (mostly not good for workers).

    His agenda as I see it is selling the country to the highest bidder, basically. Being a Social Conservative, he just is a apathetic being who does not give a single flying fvck about those who are not in a comfortable position capable of resisting the measures. Nor he cares about upholding the Memory Thruth and Justice legacy we made this 40+ years. Hiis government is mostly composed of ex-neonazis, fascists, orthodox catholics (and surprisingly, orthodox jews in at least a few cases), anti-communist, etc.

    The Vice-President is a woman. The daughter of a military men who refused to uphold democracy’s values and apologize for what the government did to the people during the “Dirty War”. A history revisionist who believes that the systematic kidnapping, torture, killing of the oposition, theft of newborns and rape commited by the state thugs, military, police, death squads were warranted in the fight against “subversion” and marxists.

    This is my view, at least. Other Argentinians might differ slightly or more with me, and I’am a leftist, so bias might exist as with any other person. What i’m saying is not to discredit my opinion, but to help you grasp where i’m coming from. That is not to say I can’t be wrong.
