This speech has no legs to stand on. His key premise conflates the industrial revolution with a special definition of capitalism. Which for his ideology has perfect price discovery and a world where no large corporations collude with other. His main course is your usual slab of blaming socialism, sprinkled with side blame at feminists and environmentalists.
I don't see anything worth reading here. It is deceptive with intent and fundamentally unhinged.
- diggan 3y agoI don't necessarily agree or disagree with Milei, I think my understand of the space and the country is too low to be able to do so. But I disagree with "I don't see anything worth reading here", even if it's unhinged and you fundamentally disagree with their point of view. He is the democratically elected president of a country in despair, and trying to understand what will happen to the country requires understanding the motivations behind the actions, which are laid bare in his speech, no matter how factual his points are.
- gausswho 3y agoI half agree. It is helpful up to a point to know what demogogues might be hatching. But I don't agree that his words describe the actual sources of Argentine despair, even among those who voted for him.
