From Ben Norton:
Far-right extremist Javier Milei won Argentina’s presidential election.
Milei wants to: -legalize the sale of children and human organs -abolish public healthcare, education, and transportation -abandon monetary sovereignty and adopt the US dollar
He says his dead dog Conan speaks to him from the afterlife and advises him on economic policy.
Argentina was invited to join BRICS, but far-right president-elect Javier Milei has pledged to withdraw.
The extremist boasted: “Our geopolitical alignment is with the U.S. and Israel. We are not going to align with communists”
So now Argentina is controlled by a dead dog? But why do people choose him?
It is way, way, WAY, worse than what it seems. That dog is a symbol of Spanish colonialism. The colonial soldiers used those dogs to rip people apart who resisted.
Yes… Actually no, it would actually is controlled by the same neoliberals that Milei said he was going to destroy. Mauricio Macri and Patricia Bullrich, the two people responsable for the current economical crisis.
Socdems said they wouldn’t pay the IMF loans, but then they decided to pay it. The economy started to collapse shortly after this, and they are suffering from a really bad drought which doesn’t help their economy.
