Javier Milei, who wants to abolish the central bank and adopt the U.S. dollar as Argentina’s currency, is now the front-runner in the fall general election.
A lot of Latin Americans that I’ve met, from Argentina, Peru or Venezuela have happened to be hardcore libertarians. I have come to guess that they do so because they have seen that it works for the Global North, which is considerably wealthier than their countries are, and as such the logical conclusion is to just follow the same politics they do.
What they don’t understand is that the Global North will never treat them like an equal. They will never see them as anything other than as an asset to exploit, just like it happened with Russia and Yeltsin.
Except that it doesn’t work in the global north and never has. Hell, it has never even been implemented in the way these psychos want, cause even the worst neoliberal inhuman trash understand that these libertarians are deranged idiots.
When I say “work” I mean in regards of accumulating wealth. These people I am talking about that I meant were usually EU supporters and admirers of countries like Germany and others, not understanding that capitalism in the Global North works through the plunder of the South. Sure, this libertarianism will go nowhere, but if they embrace it it is by taking northern countries and philosophy as the point of reference.

Best wishes and good luck to Argentina.
