The election victory of self-proclaimed anarcho-capitalist Javier Milei is being celebrated by right-wing libertarians around the world. This neoliberal extremism is successful because other ways of tackling the worsening crisis have failed – not just in Argentina.

      It’s just a matter of time before a lady starts feeding bears from her back porch and the towns are overrun. You could make a bundle trading bear spray for other items that you eventually barter for things that other people have that you want assuming your barter goods have value to them.

      Sounds like a real utopia.

      You see, the problem you’re having with capitalism is that you didn’t capitalism hard enough. Just one less regulation bro, that’ll fix everything bro.

      I’m going to wait until you go and read what has been happening in Argentina up to now…

        I have done in fact, but thanks for waiting anyways. It’s a nightmare, but I don’t believe ‘Anarcho-Capitalist libertarianism’ is the correct answer.

          The current presidents’ utopian ideology is not what is going to happen to the country though. It might become more similar to Chile or Uruguay or Paraguay, if his first mandate does not miserably fail. Whilst hopefully getting rid and enforcing rules for the future so that govt corruption and budget misuse can’t run as rampant as it currently can.
