"Long live freedom dammit"

I wonder if he really closed with that, or if the AI translator screwed up.

Per news media it's accurate

I really hope "they" let him live.

But I don't like his odds. Speaking truth to the attendees at the WEF can't go unpunished by the New World Order establishment powers. Maybe being in Argentina will help his odds somewhat.

"Free market capitalism and trade is the only way to end hunger and poverty across our planet, the empirical evidence is unquestionable."

"The state is financed through coercion."

"It should never be forgotten that socialism is always, and everywhere, an impoverishing phenomenon that has failed in all countries where it has been tried out."

"Whenever you want to correct a supposed market failure, inexorably, as a result of not knowing what the market is, or as a result of having fallen in love with a failed model, you are opening up the doors to socialism and condemning people to poverty."

"The 'feminism' radical agenda has led to greater state intervention, hindering the economic process, giving a job to bearcats who have not contributed anything to society, examples are international organizations committed to pushing this agenda."

"Do not be intimidated either by the political class or by parasites who live off the state, do not surrender to a political class that only wants to stay in power and retain its privileges."

"Do not surrender to the advance of the state, the state is not the solution, the state is the problem itself."


Hnnngh. *Removes ball gag*

I wish I could take Javier Milei and inject him into the veins of every American, especially our politicians.

A centrist? Seems like a pretty hardcore conservative. Where is he a centrist? Honest question.
The best way to keep evil men from wielding great power is to not create great power in the first place.

He is very libertarian. Quite centrist.

He's libertarian.. but all the government slashing is working down there not because they elected a "radical" weirdo, but because they elected common sense.

Argentina spent decades suffering moronic socialist policies before they finally turned to Milei out of desperation.

How much Venezuela-style socialism will this country have to endure before our citizens wise up and turn to freedom?

We may have to learn some very difficult lessons before things get better. As Reagan said…

Quote:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.


With a Democrat Party embracing the values of Maduro, Castro, and Mao, we are in that generation where freedom faces extinction right now.

God bless Javier Milei. He shows the way forward for freedom and against global statism.

You do, it's called hitting rock bottom. This is the only way opinionated progressives learn. Exactly what happened in Argentina.

His biggest battle is yet to be fought...

For years, Argentinean government has been taxing the **** out of the agriculture industry...to make up revenue for all of the other idiots in the economy...and the agricultural industry there is a marvel of production...but when they taxed it to death, it was hollowed out. And he has to get the government apparatchiks to vote that tax structure away...I'll see if I can dig that article up...
I found it...
