Far-Right Libertarian Wins Argentina’s Presidential Primary
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.

Why would you do this
Masochism
Wouldn't surprise me if there's American interference in here somehow
Is this their counter to dedollerization? Can't trade in your own currency if you don't have your own currency taps forehead.
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.
Best wishes and good luck to Argentina.
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.
If they think their conditions are bad, oh boy they better buckle up if this dumbass wins.
they are gonna end up becoming slave of international corps or bears will attack them. if they ruin the country, which i believe they will, it will be a example for others.
How it feels as an uninformed and naive westerner trying to read abt and understand Argentinian politicsSolidarity comrade! I hope there's some measure of restraint. What do you think this means for joining BRICS?

I honestly thought the rapid rise of the far right was only really happening in Europe and North America, how naive I was.

Perhaps being in the pocket of foreign capital would help? Why would any head of state permit foreign military bases in their territory? Or put into law giving up command of their armed forces in the case of conflict?

and his five Mastiff dogs, each named after a conservative economist.
Ironically based. Dogs aren't known for their intellect, but rather their loyalty to their owners.
How are the other candidates doing? As usual with the NYT, they only report on the fascists on Southern elections. Odd isn't it? Expect every foreign/foreign-backed media conglomerate to peddle that "he's not actually that bad" until November, then pretend they never backed him if he gets elected.

Oh hey, that's copyright infringement on our fascists!
