Honestly, if shuttering the central bank and dollarizing the economy were his only plans I'd actually think it sounds reasonable. I'm pretty leftist but Argentina has pretty well proven they'd be better-off without managing their own currency.
The problem is that the man is absolutely batcrap in every way imaginable. He's climate-change-denying, hateful, constantly insults and threatens progressives with ludicrous insults like "libtards", considers sex-ed to be "brainwashing", etc. It's like if a country had elected Tucker Carlson for president.

- Mystery-Machine 3y agoFinally someone in this whole HN post saying _true_ negative things about Milei. I also consider myself left leaning. And yes, Milei said he doesn't believe in global warming and he was insulting people on the left a huge load. After he won, he invited everyone, no matter which side, to work together to make Argentina better (great again :D). I'd give him a benefit of the doubt. If he proposes something, and that makes sense, I'd be supportive of the proposal. Unfortunately, what I'm most afraid of, is the people who will be against anything he proposes, only because it was him who proposed it.
