It seems that the communists lost this time in Argentina, right?

The new President of Argentina, Javier Milei, in his own words:

-he considers Pope Francis a “filthy leftist”

-he says that "redistributing wealth is a violent act”

-he has called climate change a “lie of socialism”

-his governing philosophy is that “you can’t give shit leftists an inch” -he pledges to end the Central Bank of Argentina

-his view on China is that he “doesn’t cut deals with Communists”

-his views on abortion is: “When you construct on the basis of an incorrect moral principle, the result is filth. How can being able to kill other human beings be a right gained? As a liberal, I believe in the unrestricted right to life based on the defence of life, liberty and property. I defend life, biology says that life begins with conception”

-on other politicians: “Micky Mouse is the aspiration of every Argentine politician because he is a disgusting rodent whom everybody loves”

he sounds like a dream come true.

I don't know if you're from Argentina, but if so, congratulations!

i am not. I deal with clowns in the US

We'll see. I'm not sure how much power their president actually has, so it may ultimately be toothless or less impactful than it needs to be to turn that country around.

Yes, it will be interesting to see if the new guy can start to turn things around.

Rule of thumb: If an American calls something „communist“, it most likely isn’t.

candidate Massa represents Peronism and the São Paulo Forum, therefore, we can say with great certainty that the communists were defeated in Argentina…. not all Americans are ignorant about South America pal

[DryGermanGuy]

I calculate the chances that he will screw up the country even more at 90%. I would be glad to be wrong, though.

[MaxUsefull]

Not really, what ended the country were decades of Peronism… economic liberalism tends to enrich the country

He’s also super-duper cringy pro-Israel and he’s also pro-Ukraine war.

Yeah, thank goodness
