🇦🇷 Argentina has a new President: the libertarian Javier Milei, which has provoked reactions of all colours. Many media, analysts and politicians accuse him of being part of the far right. And that's not all, he is also often compared to Donald Trump or Jair Bolsonaro?
Is Milei part of the extreme right? How does he resemble and how does he differ from Trump or Bolsonaro? What kind of government can we expect from Milei in Argentina? In this video we tell you all the details.

Libertarian is far right... There is no such thing as a libertarian socialist for obvious reasons (Government intervention)
I was going to say that Milei is NOTHING like Trump. Milei knows who he is, Trump knows who he is based on the right price and power for himself!
Trump policy is , me me me , he doesn't care about how anything might effect anyone else, apart from him .long Before he ran for election, he spent 20 years sending a journalist hate mail because she wrote an article that describes him accurately.
never thought that VP would end up a right wing. already has been a couple of videos talking down on left wing countries and ideas while talking up right wing political issues. Simon did right by leaving a long time ago.
if only my chiropractor offered a deal like that.
Finally someone takes the time to see the difference between a libertarian and a conservative! There’s hope in this world
Apparently the difference is that libertarians run on a platform to reduce the age of minors and create a market for organs and babies, while conservatives don't.
Yeah abortion.
@@patriciaszabo8015
Even far leftists have some things in agreement with the conservatives. Nobody is pure far LEFT or Right. We all overlap on certain issues. Try thinking about that whenever you want to group people in boxes.
@@patriciaszabo8015 Some libertarians do support abortion. I´m Argentine and they say our best trade partners are China and Brazil, so I think he will be pragmatic. I don´t trust politicians, but I´m sure we aren´t going to be like Cuba or Venezuela, fortunately. 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
@@aktob316 The far left and far right are becoming almost indistinguishable. The have 3 things in common, they want to weaponize government against their perceived enemies, they want to unsustainably grow public spending and they're virulently anti-semitic. Horseshoe theory has basically been proven correct.
As an Argentinian, it's been annoying at best to see international media mischaracterize him. Great to see an actual representation of his ideals.
Long live liberty. I'm Indian and I'm actually investing ARGT ETF to show my commitment. I'm very bullish about Argentina's future under Milei.
long live liberty from iran , sister people dosent listen to msm and almost every one knows he is a great man.
I've lived in Ukraine, and it was heartwarming to see the brotherly reception your president gave ours. I hope both our nations can enjoy freedom in the future.
Argentinia has a quite big ultra rich and ultra corrupt upperclass. So sorry for all Argeninians, it will be a nightmare for all poorer people.
@@TheRishijoesanu This is not liberty , this is economical liberty (libertarians confuse word for extrem neo-liberalism). Poor people will suffer more (you will see or want you bet ?)
Milei has much more in common with former Republican/Libertarian Presidential Candidate Dr. Ron Paul than Trump.
It's happening.
Well, of course, both Ron Paul and Milei are Libertarians; Trump is not (Trump is actually a Democrat capitalist or capitalistic Democrat turned Republican) ... he started off as a NY Democrat.
Ron Paul repented and came back to the Republican Party. On domestic and foriegn issues as well as trade Rand Pauls endorses Trumpism one of Trumps biggest supporters. Ron is mistaken about sanctions and building the wall. I was a Paul supporter in 2008 only becuase he was the best candidate, which Trump supplanted
BTW what happened to Ron Paul? literally no news at all?
@@ecoideazventures6417He's in his 80s, probably just decided to retire.
Thanks for the clarification. I was confused by Zelenskyy's visit to Argentina, and Milei's warm reception, until your report made me realize I had been mislead by the media. Sadly, it's typical for reporters to take one or two issues, and use it as a lazy political barometer to pigeonhole any politician. The in depth analysis helped my comprehension, considerably.
It’s understandable, the average person doesn’t get much far in understanding politics from the left-right (pro unraine-pro russia, pro palestine-pro israel, pro choice-pro life etc.) divide, so most news outlets classify things into liberal left or conservative (despotic) right, which is a shame because traditional conservatism is pretty lame to me, and to label these kinds of policies as conservative or just right wing is indirectly preventing this other type of right wing ideas from spreading. I would consider myself a liberal, but It’d be way better imo for the main politic divide to be liberalism-libertarianism instead of liberalism-conservatism, because I think it would create competition in the political system and force politicians to be more proactive in their roles, as well as bring new interesting political debate to the mainstream instead of the same stale stuff
Sounds like you've been mislead by the media, visualpolitik. This media outlet won't tell you how asinine Milei's plan to purge the Argentinian peso and dollarize Argentina. Why would a libertarian sell his country to another by forcing the economy to adopt another country's currency? He's a crooked neoliberal NATO simp, not a libertarian.
@juanmejiagomez5514 you're right, milei is a neoliberal nato/israel simp, not "despotic right wing" nor libertarian. Milei is uniquely terrible: what kind of libertarian wants to sell their country's economy out to the United States Federal Reserve? A neoliberal goofball would sell their country's economy to the US Fed.
Could you imagine what they have done to you already?
I bet Milei will sing a different song if Argentina has to bankroll Ukraine war. Talk is cheap, man.
It's like viewing politics on a one line left/right spectrum is overly simplistic and reductive or something.
Indeed. Far left is about equally as dangerous as far right. I’m center right. We still need government, but limited government.
No, it is a line. There is good, and there is evil. And the further to the right you get, the more evil people you will find.
Person above agrees and then says they're center right.....hope they see the irony of that statement
@@sameeral-harthy6420 as a real commi would argue, aint I right ;)
@@sameeral-harthy6420 I understand government is a necessary evil. The only way to keep it in check is by limiting its power and maintaining the will of the people as the hand that guides the government actions. This is libertarianism.

far right doesn't mean anything anymore. if someone calls you a fascist, it typically means you're on the right track. unless, of course, you're a fascist.
😂
Fascism is a leftist ideology. They have almost everything in common with the left and next to nothing in common with libertarians.
Funny my Spanish friend called my a fascist a few times! I think I am center right!
What I've learned from this; the terms "Far Right, and Extreme Right" are utterly meaningless.
Right? IDK I feel like this chanel is not what it used to be.
The far right stopped being about economics a while back, all they care about these days is banning books and abortions
That's what every right-wing extremist says.
They are meaningless, because the left right axis tracks multiple things at once. One being how liberal/capitalist an economy is, there you could place Miles firmly on the far right - it doesn’t get more capitalist. However, it is also used to track social values, and there the right stands for conservatism and nationalism. Obviously it is not a given that a person or party stands to the right for all of those issues, and that’s exactly the reason why the left right axis is stupid. When you try to track multiple variables, you have to use multiple dimensions. The political compass is a n attempt to do better
I am from Georgia and I am following Milei very closely!
The world is watching Argentina and we are rooting for your success!
The world? I don’t think anyone outside of failed society care
Which Georgia 😂?
Loosers must gather, it's right.
Georgia the country or the US state?
@@zhiro_3 Country :))
Milei is an actual libertarian. Not the misplaced caricature of libertarianism you see in America. He is not a conservative or a reactionary, his social views are very progressive. On economics he is not protectionist either.
This is the very first time in history that a true blue libertarian has gotten to the top of a country. This is actually history.
PS: I'm an Indian guy who has nothing to with Argentina but I'm very bullish about Argentina under Milei. In fact I've put my money where my mouth is by investing in ARGT ETF which has gone up by 22% since Milei's win. 💎🙌
It's GOLDEN LIBERTARIAN, as Gold and Black Gold are our flag Ancap.
It's going to be pretty entertaining watching Argentinians go from "Fuck it, it can't possibly be as bad as what we've had before" to "It's so much more worse than what we had before in ways that were somehow both easy and impossible to predict!"
@@Afghamistam yes, its called a depresion, and if you understand economics it is long overdue. They know it, he told them.
Many countries have or had a milder version of the same thing, namely neo-liberalism. And the resulsts are/were not great. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." as they say.
@@Afghamistam Spot the commie
Imagine comparing the USA to Argentina
Exactly
Miren bien porque argentina fue más rica que usa y gracias al socialismo hoy está donde está, argentina ya fue liberal y se convirtió en la primera potencia mundial
They actually were pretty similar countries a hundred years ago. Big open land, lots of different biomes packed with natural resources, and lots of inmigrants and fertile land.
Milei is the embodiment of all my fantasies regarding the head of state
You will have to wait until he ends his term. His detractor aside, how will he sell the cut to social services? When Macron tried to "reduce" it by add several years to retirement age, Paris was burned. And in Argentina, military coup d'etat is not out of the table.

@@gorilladisco9108No the military is pretty anti-peronist. In fact during the campaign lots of veterans spoke againts Massa and there was even the case of a Liteunant spoking againts Massa saying that the Minister for the Armed Forces that Massa planned to appoint if he won was hated by the Military and he got warned by a superior to shut his mouth trough a call, he uploaded the call on tiktok.
@@lucario2188 Sometime we confuse the ideology and the symbol. If you said military hate Peronist, you should ask more detail of it, do they hate the people associated with Peron's party or do they hate Peron's ideology.
Because sometime, like what happened in my country, we say we hate communism, but if we examine more closely, we only hate the communist party so much that we initiate pogrom against them in the way that make Pinochet shiver. But in everyday life, we use communism rhetoric and implement measures that can be viewed as coming from communism teachings.
Argentina undergoing Polish-style shock therapy is the only option available to get out of its economic decline created by the Peronist politicians for the past eight decades.
Sadly there aren't any wealthy nations around Argentina, Chile is struggling for years even though it has more wealth. I do wish Argentinians take accountability of their actions and pay taxes so that things can start to move somewhere.
They tried it in the 80/90 with the Cavallo plan and it failed misserably.
@@matheusd.rodrigues429The Cavallo plan was very good. It reduced the inflation from 3000% to zero in 2 years. The crisis that happened after 10 years was cased by the same reason than all other crisis: high fiscal deficit.
Milei, on the contrary, is very decided to have zero fiscal deficit. If that was accomplished no crisis would be possible.
This is why i think Argentina would have this problem in future too. If your country has a spending problem then it will be a problem for decades. Like Suriname has a inflation problem for decades@@IVIune
From the river Egypt to the river Euphrates shalom Greater Israel.
Milei is the kind of guy I once thought Republicans were.
The Republican Party started falling off in the 2010s.
The Party peaked during the times of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.
What about Vivek?
@@AllAboutMMAYep. He is one similar to Milei or Roosevelt. Exactly what I imagine for the Republican Party. Meanwhile Haley is something like Busch. Garbage. Trump is amongst the likes of Bolsonaro or Peloni. They keep the establishment around and just change it according to their own personal benefit. It can be good or just irrelevant. Generally not making it worse but not making things better either.
@@echidnanatsuki882So from its birth untill the 80's? Thats like 90% of its lifetime. It peaked that long?

Now I'm fucking with what Trump is bringing to the party so Ig you might be right.
@@AllAboutMMA Vivek is a joke
The biggest problem with fixing the broken financial systems of governments built on decades of promising free borrowed money to people is that nobody is willing to give up on the free borrowed money that they were promised until it's too late.
They need the money because they are poor.
Macron agrees.
there's no money! - milei
That's what right wingers always say. No money for the poor, lots of money for the rich.
@@LeeZaslofsky the federal gov shouldn't drip feed you your own tax money back. they should stop taxing you instead. you should just keep your money and pay taxes for your city streets and infrastructure, the things that actually effect you. instead of el hefe brandon wastefully redistributing the lions share of it.
After so many years of economic crisis, is it any particular surprise that Argentinian voters were willing to try a 180?
I think Milei has a Bachelor of Economics degree and at least two Masters degrees relating to Macro Economics and Finances and was a Lecturer of same for some time. This fact is often overlooked by the mass media - preferring to focus on some of his non-academic activities.... strange they would do such a thing! 🙂
Sadly economic studies can be full of bullshit and his ideas prove it beyond doubt... He will fail miserably and it's a real shame I'd love argentina to come back on its feet
I think he simply bought a degree and grades rather than actually attending for indoctrination as it reserved to the peasants.
And the amount of economic papers and media articles he wrote ara outstanding even for an academic economist
It's funny, Socialists are overrepresented in basically every major except for Economics, which is the only overwhelmingly Liberal major. In the Netherlands I've yet to meet a non-Liberal economist.
Love that you guys took the time to explain the difference between "extreme right" and an actual libertarian. I'm kinda tired of seeing Milei being called "extreme right" xd
PS: Milei said he is against abortion as it is against his own moral ideals, but he also said that if the referendum showed that the people was in favor of abortion he would respect it, as freedom (of choice) is also a core moral ideal of his.
Just not freedom of women, which he'd happily subordinate to a tyranny of the majority.
@@westrim tyranny of the majority? The are more women than men in Argentina so... Also, he believes life starts at conception and one of the libertarian principals is to defend life. I don't agree with that vision but I can defend his position of leaving such a complicated matter into the people's hands.
Don't think he understand why libertarians in political science are classified has extreme right, and from your comment so don't you. Extreme right, Fascism, is characterized by some kind of superiority beliefs, being it race, tech, religion, etc. Authoritarian regimes and a new order that places the natural rulers in power. Libertarianism is the same, a profound belief on the superiority of some and the natural right the most powerful have to rule over the others, which will be achieved if there is a power vacuum but will be enforced once libertarians reach power. Differences between Fascism and Libertarianism is more a nuance that true differences, that is why all libertarians like and support fascist regimes.
@@josearaujo8616 wtf are you on about? If you think Libertarian = Fascism you either have a wrong concept of Libertarianism or are being intentionally intellectually dishonest. Also I know 0 libertarians that support any kind of fascist or authoritarian regime, as it goes against our principles of individual freedom.

@@MrPolandball That's pretty tame compared to the average US libertarian. In the US it's known as the party that can't go within 500ft of a school because sooooo many of its members are pedophiles. Milei comes across as the type that would have pedophiles put to death

Milei is the only Anarco Capitalist ever elected. He is unique in this regard
Let’s be real here he’s not an “anarcho-capitalist”, he’s a puppet just like any (s)elected leader.
Grover Cleveland
Far right is just one of those terms I take with a massive grain of salt, media today even labels some figures considered progressive ten years ago as far right today, just because they don't follow the politically correct line.

I've never been to Argentina but just based on history it's frustrating it feels like a nation on the verge of greatness but they never get it but yet it's so close I hope in my lifetime it becomes a truly great nation on the world stage
“Throughout history there are 4 types of economies: Developed, developing, Japan and Argentina”
I am south american and we just like to self sabotage i think.
@@mrcookies409 Honestly it’s always surprised me, South America should be home to a number of economic juggernauts. Many are some of the most resource rich nations on the planet with relatively large populations, very few regional conflicts and healthy demographics
I do understand the difficulty of building infrastructure and the long term damage caused by the Spanish and Portuguese Empires but at the same time the fact Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela don’t all have GDPs double or even triple their size comes down almost entirely to political discourse. And it’s a shame because having large economies on the continent like that would boost the trade and economy of the smaller nations as well through proximity and shared infrastructure investment.
The world would be a better place with a wealthy developed South America, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for positive changes in that direction over the next few decades
@@MacTac141 Pretty much lol, however every time something good gets going we seem to destroy for some reason, at this point I have no clue why that is... I am only in my 30s but if you read up a bit on the region's history it's a pattern that repeats over and over.
Problem for Argentina was, (and IS, for many countries in the first world), where does its people go politically when there's abundance and wealth.
I'm curious. When you mention Orbán, the clips that you put up show Spain's Santiago Abascal, leader of Vox. Did someone get confused in post?
I hope Javier Milei turns Argentina around and Argentina becomes a prosperous nation again.

Libertarian isn't on the right or left spectrum, it just means the opposite of authoritarian.
yes, but generally speaking libertarians are very pro capitalist so they are considered to be more on the right. This is especially true when we consider the political compass and not the left-right line.
Yes, but the whole point of the video is to point out that this isn't the case, right on the money boi @@tiagozadra4307
Does he pretend that the dollar is not administered by a central bank, just one that doesn’t give a shit about Argentina at all?
Funny how they keep mentioning "Trump, Bolsonaro and Orban", while showing images of Trump, Bolsonaro and Santiago Abascal
Not sure if he can do it but I believe whether he succeeded or not his carrier is over. It reminds me of the economic reforms of Leszek Balcerowicz when Poland was slowly starting to clean up after soviets and he also went with shock therapy which resulted in one hell of economic miracle that probably saved my country future and made him the most hated man in the country for 2 generations saying that "whose fault it is? Ofc it's Balcerowicz" was prelevant idiom 2 decades after he left parliament. Ppl just don't want to wait with their judgements until long term changes materialise.
yeah reforms take long time to make effect. In Czechoslovakia too first 8 years were difficult but then the growth was much bigger. So these kind of reforms have real positive effect in about 10 years which is why it is so hard to do any changes because it is much more than mandate of government and the they do not get any credit for that because people remember from that only the hard times and then give all credit to the new government which just spends and makes debt
@@Hilariusgamer Hmm Czechoslovakia you say? I think it was either the previous or current Czech president who I remember saying that the worst enemy of democratic state is democratic elections because that's when politicians will rush to drive the country into debt on thoughtless public spending and start promising peaches on pines in order to get elected. Sadly that is more or less right especially in countries when politics are made of ideals and passionate speeches rather than factual debates (currently I don't know any country that does NOT have this issue but I think it's getting worse over time as when I watched campaign adds and political debates from 90s in Poland that was actually presenting higher level of debate then our current educational system (and definitely higher then "debate" being done by politician assaulting ppl in public with fire extinguisher like few days ago)
@@rafaszmuda669 Milei understands this and solve the Balcerowitz problem with being over the top crazy with total honesty... he practically tells people all the time everything will be terrible.

In terms of major difference the removal of the bureaucracy in relation to imports and exports in Argentina would be the easiest and most effective first step he could possibly take. I would expect that in itself would relieve the countries economy and reduce inflation substantially in one move.
i would abolish and forever ban ALL kinds and types of licencing.
@@sillysad3198 To a degree everyone would approach things that way. I think the world has existed long enough that if people who genuinely care are in charge they will understand what buttons will work best. Problem for any government is that pushing all the buttons together or turning them all off both break the system. For me the import/export minefield in Argentina would offer an easy win and put what will be many doubters in the background to let him try his more extreme ideas; because you never know, some might just work !!
In just 3 days of government he reduced government size by 34%, gov spending for 3% of gdp and eliminated all restrictions to imports while giving a new tax regime to exporters that should give them a net 50% gain over the last one. Things are Fk rough here rn but people voted for this change and we are hopefull he can get us through it

The Libertarian position on social issues is to keep your nose out of other people's business. So on abortion it's the parents choice and no one should interfere with that choice. So on that subject he is anti-Libertarian.
Nah, you have a simplistic view of libertarianism. He has explained his posture pretty well using libertarian logic.
Im pretty certain that is applied to outside issues. Abortion in your example is a domestic tragedy. Basically it's just because I don't care about what is happening on the other side of the world does not mean I do not care about a neighbor killing their child
This is my reaction and interpretation after listening to the new president of Argentina on the world economic forum over there in Switzerland there.
After listening to him several times.
I began to like all of the points that he was making and as I was liking the points that he was making with his facts I was very much reminded of an old book that I had read.
The book I refer to is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
For his speech embodied many of the same elements that were embodied in John galt's speech from that book.
The new president from Argentina also introduced a few other elements from that book from the speech that was given by the character in the book Atlas Shruggedd, known as Francisco and his speech on money.
His speech though shorter than Atlas shrugs material was most enlightening and entertaining to listen to in the real world as opposed to the unreal real world presented in Atlas Shrugged.
On the subject of books there is one book that I highly recommend that every person on the planet would be well advised to read.
It is not a book of fiction, it is a book of fact.
The book's title is natural law the books author is Lysander Spooner.
I have found this book to be the best little book I have ever read on law of any kind. A three chapter 17 Page book. If you read it you will understand where mankind has gone wrong by moving away from natural law and moving toward authoritarian man-made law.
After considering the information in these books I decided I would take up the challenge of rewriting one of the most special laws contained within the Bill of Rights that I would rewrite the Second Amendment.
I call it Second Amendment 2.1
At this point you will need to read my further post on this same chat room about the National Rifle Association. So at this point please look for my other post in the same chat room about the National Rifle Association and what I further wrote and please be advised to look up and check out my book recommendations at the end.
The fact that the NRA the National Rifle Association changed its View to a more radical View of the second amendment in the year 1970. If you listen to the recent video on TH-cam concerning the latest Omnibus gun control act worked on, they bring up every mass shooting event that ever occurred in history. Except for ONE "mass shooting" got no mention. What is this "mass shooting" that the government doesn't even want to talk about. What is this event that in 1970 rocked the boat of the National Rifle Association, and caused every second amendment organization to literally "freak out" in the year 1970.
On May 4th 1970 members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of Kent State University demonstrators killing four, and wounding nine Kent State students. The impact of the shooting was dramatic. The event triggered a national wide student strike, that forced hundreds of colleges and universities to close.
I find it sadly ironic that the demonstrators were demonstrating their displeasure over the war in Vietnam in general and the bombing in Cambodia in particular, carried out by President Nixon.
War is a "mass shooting" on a major scale ! .
As for the Second Amendment as currently written, I have some serious issues with it. It is poorly written, it is so poorly written and confusing that it must be reinterpreted by the Supreme Court. It does not explicitly say anything about self-defense. This has inspired me to write my new and improved version of the Second Amendment. I have named my new version.
Second Amendment 2.1
In order to maintain the blessings of liberty and freedom throughout the land.The pre-existing natural right of the individual to self-defense, shall always be upheld and protected. The right to manufacture, keep and bear arms ammunition, and parts and accessories for arms, will not be infringed or impeded. By any law or mandate, by either the states, or the federal government. A free market being necessary for a free people.The right to manufacture arms for sale, including, ammunition and accessories, for arms, will not be infringed or impeded. By any law or mandate. By the federal government, or the state's governments. This includes both carrying for an individual, or carrying for a company, for trade or sale in another state. Or any city or town, within a state. For any other moral reason. Uninfringed or impeded by law or mandate.
And there you have it my new and improved version of the Second Amendment 2.1 and for further Clarity, let me explain the term "pre-existing natural right of self-defense". The Second Amendment to the Constitution was adopted December 15th 1791. The concept of self-defense was created and adopted after the Norman conquest of England in 1066.
Coming back up through time back to 1970 and the mass shooting event at Kent State University there was a famous rock and roll band called Crosby Stills Nash & Young they made a song called "Ohio".
Previous to their song was the song written and produced,1964, by a young Native Canadian singer-songwriter, Buffy Sainte-Marie, The universal Soldier. I consider her song. The Best anti-war Song Ever written by a human being on this planet.
It is my most sincere hope that my version of the Second Amendment 2.1 will one day be recognized as being the best Second Amendment ever re-written, and adopted into law.
Also I highly recommend the following books, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, Adventures in Legal Land, by Marc Stevens. Government Indicted, by Mark Stevens, Freedom from Government by Trent Goodbaudy, And Natural Law, by Lysander Spooner. :-)

Indeed, his formation is libertarian but he know that Argentina is not ready for libertarian ideas. So he is using classic liberal formula to reduce the state. He is gonna change Argentina in a positive way, but only if Argentinians have patience.
This was a very biased analysis. First of all, there has been many examples in history that economic libertarian ideals can go hand in hand with far-right authoritarianism. Pinochet was backed by libertarians in Chile and implemented libertarian economic ideas designed by Chicago economics school graduates. Frederyck Hayek, the famous libertarian economist and philosopher, visited Chile and complimented Pinochet's government for his economic policies while hundreds of political opponents were being tortured in Chilean prisons. Ludwig von Misses, another libertarian economist, supported the fascist government of his native Austria. Bolsonaro, who was grossly misrepresented in this video, had a libertarian economist as his Finance Minister and, unlike the video said, they never talked about protectionism or buying local products. In the commercial side, Milei wants to break commercial relations with China because they are "communists". China is the second largest trade partner of Argentina. So it really seems that Milei puts his politics well above his love for free trade. The first trade partner of Argentina is Brazil and this is possible due to the Mercosur, which is a free trade agreement between the countries in the South of South America and he wants to kill it. The video simply took his words about the Mercosur as the truth and didn't bother to check if they are correct or not. Well, the are not. Mercosur is a free trade agreement that benefits all economic agents located in any of the member-countries. There is simply no basis to argue that it benefits only crony businessmen. Mercosur has just finished negotiating a free deal with the European Union and, guess what, Milei is against it and doesn't want to sign the deal. On the proper authoritarian side, Milei proposed a law that provides that protests can take place only if they are authorized by the government and if they are done without this authorization, the organizers can be sent to jail or 6 years. And last but not least, he is against abortion, which definitely not very libertarian at all. Do you think that he is all that faithful to his libertarian ideals? Do you think that any politician with libertarian ideal remain faithful to his ideals once in power?
Milei’s opinion on abortion is the only thing I don’t like about him, but truth is we needed someone like him in Argentina.
Maybe add his opinions on climate change to that list :)
Abortion is murder.
Trump and Milei are very similar in their campaign styles. That is why they are often compared. Ideologically, Trump a populist and Milei is more of a libertarian.
they are similar characters (they both are outsiders with a genesis on tv shows), Milei might get close to Trump/bolsonaro, etc. frontlines because at this point in time all of them have the same ideological enemies. But thats it.
I would rather point to Trump being an isolationist and protectionist.
One question: what exactly is a populist?
@@hallarious506Donald Trump
@@salahad-din3907 I asked what, not who.
Wait, do you think he is the first and only populist ever....
Could it be.... That you have no clue....?
Trump was extremely pro LEGAL immigration. He is vehemently against illegal immigration as most Americans agree with.
Given how he banned ALL immigration from some countries just because they were Muslim I think shoes he isn’t exactly pro immigration either.
He wants to reduce legal immigration
@@bobsteve4812 absolutely incorrect. He wanted to limit immigration from areas known to foster gate for America andany terrorists have come from there. However those with skills and ability to benefit America are welcome with open arms.
@@nmatky9327 wrong again. He wants to limit immigration that is a burden. If an individual brings benefit and helpful skills they are more than welcome. We are not the world's bank and soup kitchen. We simply can't afford it. Oh, I'm an immigrant
@@maratfiller972exactly!
The difference of a family letting someone move in who will live on your couch, eat your food and consume your utilities without contributing to someone who will share the burden and get on their feet asap and get a place of their own.
He is much closer to a traditional US conservative than Trump is. To quote Reagan: "Government isn't the solution to our problems. Government IS the problem!"
And the 80s, when Reagan was President, was SOO great, it totally wasn't one of the worst decades in our history.
You're not showing Orban's face when you're mentioning him. That's another person.
I don't really believe in libertarianism, but i think after decades of Perronism, it might not be a bad idea to hit the wrecking ball through the quagmire of inefficiënt institutions, and start over from there
I hold a similar view.
Yeah you can really understand how such a fuzzy ball of insanity got to rule a country if you take into account argentina's history. However, changing a populist for another won't solve anything, it well may be the final blow instead
Why are you showing videos of Santiago Abascal, when you talk about Viktor Orban?
You don't get it! Argentina just like Mexico right now was ruled by a party that overspends in giving free money to students and people who just don't want to work. For example, normally in summer young Argentinians used to get jobs in tourist sites. They no longer do so because they have free money from the government. Not only that economy is bad because the government doesn't build new roads or fix bridges. Government construction projects are an important part of Latin American countries' economies. Mexico has zero and the economy is bad for people. Governments expending money on welfare just cause inflation and poverty.
argentina is a country were its twice as expensive to buy hings such as milk or potaoes locally than have it imported from another country. At the end of the day everyone suffers and there is no explanation for it, why not open the market?
12:24 Could I please ask for a source on the claim that "the annual deficit growth during his leadership ranks as the largest increase relative to the size of the economy of any president in US history"...
There is a difference between running for office and governing. What Milei provides is vision and if he provides clear leadership he will compromise on the less important and stand fast on the more important. What makes a good leader is to know the difference.
In your opinion, what are the less important and what are the important?
@@meidong5023 I once ran a medium size project in the defense industry ( $2billion). Unfortunately one never knows what is really important until you start managing. What should be minor petty interactions can cause real problems and large sweeping changes pass through. I believe the other parties and especially the powerful unions are the real players that have to be dealt with and either appeased or defeated. Once a sufficient number of players are on board it can be quite effective. Do not expect People deep in the administrative state,who are power players, in Argentina to go quietly int the night.
I like when you say "he said it himself" and then present us with a quote of he saying not that.
They're biased like most news outlets...hard to get just facts without that showing.
One of the biggest problem with politics is that people get boxed into 1 category, even though social and economic policies are independent.
Okay I just watched intro and here are my thoughts on "THE" extreme right:
There is no "THE" extreme right.
For instance, the (far) right in Poland and Hungary is very fond of the EU, simply because they get a shitload of money and can disregard the rules.
The far right in Germany on the other hand is on a DEXIT trip.
You can only really talk about the far right in a national context instead of a international context due to various differences in cultures an circumstances will heavily influence the nuances and goals of right wing parties.
Very true. In most European country, the US Democrats equivalent would be a center right party.
This global trend of calling everyone "far right" is not just wrong but stupid
it goes even further than your excellent point;
right left liberal nonliberal etc etc can only really be applied on an individual case basis. you can be very "leftist" on one question but still very far to the "right" on another.
everything you described are standard centre-right parties.
lets say "extreme" is far-right.
But far-right has simple singular logical definition.
The whole point of right wing politics is small state. Thats the core of definition of what right wing is... and no other definition exists.
So the furthest right means super small state - or no state.
So only far right ppl that are really far right ppl by definition of political science are minarchists and anarchists.
Everything else is just a nonsensical smear.
the funny thing is that Milei meets this definition - he is a minarchist. he is the only real far right president in the world probably and its super cool :P
@@zbynekurbanek3345 This is a complete misinterpretation of the far-right. Right wing does not mean "small government", that's a complete lie
@@salj.5459 It has always meant "small government" - thats only definition with internal logical consistency... only definition which works mathematically when you try to map peoples political positions on left-right axis of mathematical graph.
When youre mapping points onto a graph you need to know some values to know where on the graph the positions lie... in basic maths its numbers... Numbers are good for this because they are measurable and comparable. But in social science you need something else - you need to ask people one same question that gives you answers that are measurable and comparable to each other. The question that gives you measurable and comparable answers for left/right political axis is: How big or small state do you want? Leftists want big state, big taxes, big government programs, big help, big government intrusion into peoples private lives, Right wing wants small state, small taxes, small help, small government intrusion into peoples private lives.
Other commonly used axis in political science would be authoritarian/libertarian... for this axis the ideal question is: how much violence(authority) can the state (regardless of his size) use on its citizens?
...so you always need a question that gives you measurable and comparable results... if Im wrong then what is your question about what is "right/left" ?
When looking at politics on a economic left versus economic right and authoritarian versus liberal graph, Milei is definitely further right wing than Trump as stated by your own evidence. milei seems to be a libaterian where as trump is further to the left in terms of economy and definitely more authoritarian than milei.
The issue is that lumping the two graphs together is entirely meaningless. It tells us nothing because it only serves to mask information. It's just a useless categorization.
If we merge the graphs, then fascist Italy and various other right wing dictatorships weren't right wing at all.
YO! The people that consider him a disciple of Tonald Drump are the same exact people that consider him an extreme right-wing politician.
best of luck to Argentina huge respect for them taking the tough to fix their problems instead of keep on pretending their is pain free solution.
Congrats to argentina ❤
Comparing Argentina and the USA is like comparing apples and oranges.
They are comparing philosophy, ideologies, thinking, not countries 🤷🏼♂️
@@Marty17675 yeah I had a feeling this video was more about Trump than Milei
Promises are easy to made, but fulfilling it is a different matters entirely.

No, we should move to Argentina and build that up. I'm from Germany and the demographics are going to doom all of Europe, and the votes will be decided by the boomers and after those are dead Europe will be Muslim anyways.
Anti-abortion and anti-climate regulation *is* a hallmark of the extreme right, but at least he's not pro-Russian as most far-righters are.

Sounds like someone has already forgotten about the COVID-19 years.
Re: abortion, Milei's views reflect what most Latin Americans think. So even though Milei is libertarian, pro-life the norm in the region.
I like how people say "extreme right" To the left, the Overton Window shifted so far to the left, even Bill Clinton would be considered extreme right
hes is center right with some socialy liberal caracteristics , obama is centrist
Wanting to abolish most of the government is pretty extreme, I would say. Now what makes Bill Clinton a right-wing extremist? I am genuinly curious.
Anybody to the right of Chairman Mao or Stalin is far right to the modern left. The term has no meaning any more, much like racist. The left has ruined them for the people who have suffered at the hands of actual far right politicians or racists.
@@Albert-th9hs Bill Clinton was in in favor free trade (NAFTA, left tends to be more protectionist) Under Bill Clinton the crime bill was passed in 1994 (also known as the Clinton Crime Bill) that expanded mass incarceration.

List can go on and on to the modern left, will have Bill Clinton look like the next coming of Pinochet without the helicopter rides.
I mean he is and definitly never was leftist, he was more of a centrist or moderate. What would also (in part rightfully so) be considerd right wing is his stance towards gays with his "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.@@RAS_Squints
So Milei is their Ron Paul. Good for them.
Brilliant breakdown and analysis. I knew nothing apart from the headlines. Certainly not a Libertarian myself but really appreciate knowledge being shared

First time here - good video.
Caught out by the opening music to 'Vice Grip Garage' - hey Derek!
Everytime Orban is mentioned it shows Abascal, Spain's far-right leader.
All these economic differences are because the respective countries have far different economies - the most powerful in the world and the other a basket case …so these are less ideological differences that practical ones ..
in short, trump did his best to make the US look like argentina in his four years of office. Personality aside, I forgot exactly how disastrous his rule was.
I agree with the video that Milei and Trump are different in many ways. Where I have a disagreement is implying he is not right wing because of these differences. Right wing is mostly the belief in free enterprise as opposed to socialism. With that goes less regulation, lower taxes, smaller government and opposition to communism. Based on those criteria, Milei is more right wing than Trump. Right wing typically includes strong national defense and traditional values, but these ideas are flexible based on what threats you perceive and what your values are.
That is not inherently right wing lol. Facism is considered right wing yet has increased government, regulations, and less individual liberties.
Milei is libertarian not right wing lol. To say he is is intellectually dishonest. If you go to far left or right you end up with the same thing.
This is the problem of viewing politics on a binary left or right scale. The political four square is much better. At placing multiple ideals. But even then you can’t just lump someone into “left or right” wings.
i'm amazed with the Milei's victory, it opens the libertarians ideas to the world. If he makes the rights changs it could even impact in the Brazil's elections in 2026, what must be done.
I just hope the results start to show before 2026
Libertarian police crackdowns lmao
I favor Lula over a right-winger or economic libertarian that only favors the wealthy.
Who knows? If he is indeed the first libertarian leader elected in history then everyone is dealing with a blank page. His greatest challenge will be to resist tinkering, because politicians love tinkering when their stated and beloved policies fail to line up with reality. Tinkering inevitably involves throwing money at intractable issues.
I started to play with libertarian ideas in Obama's second term, until Bernie ran and he gave me hope. I have always been left, but if the government isn't going to spend its money correctly, then by no means do I want to pay taxes to it (and honestly we could have a much more progressive tax base as is, starting by removing taxes for lower and middle class and imposing land value taxes). I am for open borders, legalising all drugs, deregulating our zoning laws here in the US (amongst other nonsensical or crony regulations) and am prochoice, so parts of libertarianism were very appealing to me. I don't think pure libertarianism is feasible or a good idea (healthcare, education, housing, infrastructure, workers rights etc so many things require a collective approach). These days I am basically a communist libertarian (mostly because I am tired of the tenant landlord relationship and being gouged both on taxes and rent, would rather just pay rent via LVTs to a government that is focused on the collective good and focuses on decision, not debate - china builds shit, we lot our country rot, and due away with landlords all together. If you want to make $ by starting a business then have at it) and I am curious to see how Milei's policies will affect the country. Although him being pro gun, anti environment, pro life, and unable to see any benefit to left wing politics makes him a bit too far right for my taste.
Unfortunately, "communist libertarian" is an oxymoron based on the simple fact that the latter is a focus on individualism while the former on collectivism.
That said, to be clear, I see neither as inherently good or bad and they can coexist is a larger holistic government structure. Both have their place in different levels of government.
For example: My *opinion* is that the US federal government should be purely libertarian, while the lower the government levels should be increasingly socialist (with local municipal governments being nearly full socialist). Why? Sociopolitical diversity. Socialist/Communist governments always have failed historically because they have the equivalent of a massive federal government that is balancing the needs of very diverse groups, leading to all of them usually not getting what they need (hence the "bread line" stereotype). Conversely, hyper-local governments ideally should be dealing with a far more focused sociopolitical population, and thus be far better able to address that population's specific needs.
Interestingly, this is not dissimilar to what US founders wrote about intending for the US, but the US Civil War and then President Roosevelt during the Great Depression largely destroyed that idea.
"we could have a much more progressive tax base as" - america has the MOST progressive taxation rate in the world. no, not the scandi countries -where the middle class is heavily taxed and the rich live in switzerland
Regardless. We will now have a chance to see true libertarian policies in action
Long live Freedom carajo!!🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Do you know what Victor Orban looks like? The guy whose picture you're using to represent Orban isnt him.
You just described the difference between right liberal and right authoritative
Sadly the Argentine National Congress will block most of what Milei wants to do. I'd love to see a true libertarian experiment. From a distance :P
Keywords are from a distance. You are wise my friend
"But what are you talking about? He just secured a majority in the Senate just a few hours ago."
What annoys me is when you mention Orban Viktor, you're using footage of Vox (Spain) leader Santiago Abascal.
Maybe Milei will go down in history as the first populist who is good for their country. I sincerely hope so and wish both Argentina and Milei good luck
"Populist" just means popular with the people.
Milei wants to get rid of the central bank but he also wants to ditch the Argentinian Peso and use the US Dollar. He clearly thinks that the US is better off and more stable, though, that's easy to say when looking at how rough it's gotten in Argentina.
Trump is not libertarian in any sense. 😅
Great explanation! And no mainstream media mentions anything about it.
Random, but I kinda liked how in his commercial, he used the theme from Escape from LA 😂
Imagine how desperate you must be if you, as a self-proclaimed and loud anarcho-capitalist, want to remove the central bank, but the only way you can see that being done, is to just move to be in the claws of another nations central bank.
I am a L Libertarian and I agree with Milei on most subjects. The way I see Trump (I’m an American) is pretty neutral. Libertarians are one of the few groups that neither hates Trump nor supports him. I’ll be watching Argentina with great interest. I hope Milei can usher in a new age of freedom.

I can't wait to see him in action
I have wondered why Milei speaks so highly of Trump when their policies could not be more different. I think it's moreso that Milei admires Trump's popular appeal and campaign strategies. Plus, his coalition party (Libertad Avanza) was primarily a coalition of just about anyone who 1) wasn't a socialist and 2) despised the Peronists. Trump would've fit this criteria, so Milei probably would've coalitioned with him and others like him.
Many Argentines admire Americans because they are much richer. Trump, to them, symbolized capitalism even if that is a myth. So many of them like Trump.
Maybe they realize they're dealing with different contexts and thus the specific policies they advance may differ, but still are on the same side.
Milei is more ideological, so he might favor abolishing the central bank in every country, for ex, but we don't know if he would support dollarization for other countries, and we have no idea if trump's policy prescriptions for other countries would be the same as the US when it comes to economics, tariffs, etc.
And as you mentioned, neither are single people, but leaders of coalitions that are quite similar when you look at them.
The enemy of my enemies...
It is not uncommon for ideologically different leaders to ally for mutual benefits.
Currently, libertarian and conservative are in truce, simply because liberals are losing their marbles and let themselves getting cucked by socialism. They will be at each other throat on any other day, but not today.
The reason its Trump willingness to fight against left ideology and to protect freedom of speech. Nothing else. It's clear from Milei posts.
My economic education followed the multiple theories :Keynesian,Marxist, Monetarist, Modern Neoclassicalist, social welfare, etc. Marxist is a failure it has been tried enough times to show this. Argentina and the USA are in different places. Both would do well to balance their budgets and cut Government spending. As a Federal Republic, the USA could massively decentralize in social welfare and offload the system to be closer to the taxpayers and beneficiaries. Argentina is in such a dire place it needs radical surgery, And the USA needs reorganization with more power to the states after almost 100 years of concentration of federal power.
half the states of the US aren't viable states for giving more powers in a modern world.
California, Texas, New York, Florida, they could probably benefit from bieng able to utilize their economies more and increase their budgets, but the deep south would not. I don't see the rustbelt doing it either.
Meanwhile New England states are too small to really do much and would be too influenced by large corporations and individuals throwing money and political influence around. This would be similar to most great plains states, especially the oil rich ones where there would be 0 spending in its citizens as long as the oil companies can do whatever they like.
Your education was wasted time then
Did u graduate from McDonalds university
"Marxist is a failure it has been tried enough times to show this"
Name a socialist nation (that wasn't made made socialist as a result of losing WW2 as a punitive measure) that was richer before it turned socialist, compared to after it turned socialist.
The only one I can think of is Venezuela. Apart from Venezuela, every nation that fits the parameters of the question was a pre or early industrial society before becoming socialist. To compare the economic situation of the Soviet Union and the USA is not at all a fair comparison, as the Soviet Union/Russian Empire had begun industrialization about 60-100 years after America had; same story with other nations that fit the parameters. A more fair comparison for the Soviet Union for example (in GDP per capita) would be Turkey, as they were both at roughly the same level of development at the time of the Russian civil war/Turkish war of independence.
"As a Federal Republic, the USA could massively decentralize in social welfare"
90% of the point of social welfare is to decrease wealth inequality, and that includes regional inequality. Also, from someone who lives in a proper first world country, as far as anyone here can see, social welfare effectively doesn't exist in America.
The only thing all theses leaders have in common is the fact that their internal political opponents are somewhat align in political discourse. And even that is mostly not true, they just get the same label and media bias.
its important to make a diffrence between the economic right wing and the social right wing
Very good description! Great job. I pray that people, especially Argentinians, recognize that reforms are needed no matter political interest. And reforms WILL hurt on the short term. On the long term, if done right, everybody will be feasting!
