They were so chafing to strap Milei to an altar and butt fuck him for Satan.

"An example, regulating monopolies, destroying their profits and destroying growing returns"

I think I disagree with this one line.

Monopolies can emerge and crush all competition by giving away their product temporarily, then raising them to arbitrary heights later.

Which monopolies are not through government granted exclusive license to operate in an area?

My cousin lives in Argentina, and he says Milei is nothing more than a puppet of BlackRock or whatever. He's selling off state assets to western investment corporations. My cousin believes it might lead to civil war.

Talk is cheap remember. That's all I've heard from politicians for the last 30 years, empty fucking talk.

Government steps in when unfettered competition destroys the profits of all market participants. Everyone gets his own turf, as long as they kick back enough of their profits.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina’s right-wing president-elect gave the first indications Monday of how he plans to start shaking up South America’s second-largest economy: with a slew of privatizations.

Populist Javier Milei, a libertarian economist and self-described “anarcho-capitalist,” won a presidential runoff election on Sunday with 55.7% of the vote. He said Monday that he would move quickly to privatize the country’s state-owned media outlets and look to do the same with other public companies.

“Everything that can be in the hands of the private sector will be in the hands of the private sector,” Milei told Bueno Aires station Radio Mitre.

The cure to communism is NOT fascism.

If you want to fix your government, you need to get a population of COWS to fucking go in, and fucking kick the ass of corrupt bureaucrats and politicians not just sell off all the responsibilities to a corporation that doesn't have any accountability to the public whatsoever.

Also, JUST because something is SUPPOSEDLY private doesn't mean it ACTUALLY is. CNN is supposedly private, but it's state propaganda, only. So is MSNBC, so is Fox, although they are controlled opposition in this round. They were full out propagandists in 2003.

I'm not an expert with Argentina but my cousin is pretty politically aware. Time will tell. He thinks Milei is a mentally unstable sociopath, just like our presidents are. Imagine Bloomberg being president or Bill Gates or something.

You have to examine what is inherently a government function. For example, the US Navy is not a private organization or company. The Constitution states to provide for a Navy.

Does the government need to own media companies and airlines ? Are they " inherently government functions " ?

You have to question why the state has those assets to begin with. Cuba seized all of Bacardi's property and operations and still "own it" til this day. Getting the state out of ownership of anything is step 1.

We'll see the outcome of this in time.

Argentina is extremely corrupt, but don't you realize that corporations just forced 5 billion people take an unnecessary vaccine that didn't work and is killing people? There are worse things than government.

We'll find out the outcome of what Milei is doing in due time. My cousin is predicting disaster, we'll see.

Better than Milei is Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, "who roundly gored the wide-eyed technocrats with his unique brand of eloquent incision".
