South Am Javier Milei. Here we go again.

To be fair from the outside looking in, all the many cultures in the area do not seem that different, up to and including a history of killing each other for reasons that might as well include his grandfather stole my grandfather’s cow.
A bit like if sophisticated New South Welshmen went around killing Queenslanders because they were rednecks that won the state of origin too often. Not that that would not be an entirely justified position.
Sure, if they had different languages and religions.
I guess if the east coast of Australia had been controlled and influenced by the Illyrians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, Austrio-Hungarians. Then controlled by Nazi puppets, liberated by the Allies, siding with the USSR before joining the non-aligned movement. Sure, good analogy.
The Balkans are one of the least monoculture places in the world, literally why people use the term balkanisation

The price of meat has doubled in Argentina in less than 1 month
So you go to Coles December 1 and a kilo of steak is $30
You go to Coles January 1 and a kilo of steak is $60
No one here can understand what that means so stop judging or thinking you know better

Anybody with a heart should be praying that Milei is a success because if he fails in 4 years we are getting the same government that has ruled since 2000 again and that will truly be the end of Argentina and the permanent destruction of the Argentine people
The Kirchners who have ruled or controlled the president of Argentina since 2000 like Putin did that time he gave up power to his flunky Medvedev are the only alternative. Cristina Kirchner owns hundreds of millions of dollars of real estate in Manhattan with money she stole from the state over the last 20 years. They are a mafia. Milei beat them only with the element of surprise and because everyone underestimated him. If he fails and they get back in 2027 that's it the country and its people are finished

I can't vote I don't have a DNI (the national ID of Argentina) then I would have to pay tax
Amazing that in the USA they are letting people vote we with no ID if Trump loses again because of illegal immigrants voting I believe there will be civil war in the USA by the end of this year, exciting times ahead

It's a well known left tactic of control, give the people a tiny amount then make them terrified of losing it
Same reason why so many old people in Russia miss the USSR
You had a job and apartment for life. Sure they were both disgusting and miserable with no hope of a better life. But at least they were yours forever

You don't need an ID to vote in Australia
I could say exactly the same of the right and their masters, big business. Their tactic is to give the workers a few crumbs while the shareholders rake in huge profits (and the CEOs too, by virtue of their stock options and bonuses), and then tell the workers that nasty brown immigrants are coming in to take what little they have.

Where have the right been in control though? Since this thread is about Argentina it's been hardcore leftists who freely admit they see Cuba and Venezuela as paradise in power for 19 of the last 23 years. And the other 4 was a Trump style nepo baby (Macri) who spent his entire 4 years as president trying to work out how to have the billions his family stole and hid in Miami legalised rather than any particular right vs left agenda
Everyone who followed neoliberal economics. In South America, that includes pretty well every military dictatorship ever, including the ones in Argentina, Brazil and Chile in the 80s, as well as democratically elected presidents like Fujimori and Bolsonaro. Outside South America, that includes every President in the US and PM in the UK since 1980.
And yet they didn't dismantle markets like those countries. At most they renationalised a few critical assets like foreign owned oil resources.
No, that is the right-wing agenda. The right are about protecting existing wealth and big business at the expense of everyone else.

You guys want a fun example of how messed up things are here after 24 years of commie rule.
The highest bank note in print is worth $2.80 Australian. Yes that's not a mistake, the decimal point is in the right place. $2.80
BUT hang on, this note is actually incredibly rare. Like a $100 note in Australia, it exists but is seldom seen. The highest note you are actually likely to encounter in real life is $1.40.
Now bare in mind that paying with a bank card is incredibly difficult because with 200 % yearly inflation the banks are almost unusable anyway. There is also extreme ID requirements because communists love to track every cent you spend of "the people's capital"
Now imagine you gotta do your weekly shopping, you can't pay by card and the highest value money you can carry is $1.40
