I think nobody has posted this yet. But yesterday, Milei’s government suffered a major setback in the legislative elections in the Province of Buenos Aires (where I live). Not only did he lose, but Peronism—the same old Peronism, the complete antithesis of Libertarianism in every possible way—won. They’ve governed Argentina longer than anyone else, and they’re the current rulers of Buenos Aires Province (the most unsafe and the poorest in all of Argentina).
Look, I don’t think anyone really expected Milei to win big in that Province. It would be like Trump winning by a landslide in California (you get what I mean?). Still, I feel deeply disappointed in the people of this country, and especially of this Province (which, to be clear, is the largest territory in Argentina and by far the most populated). I guess they want to keep living in the same third-world mess it is. There is literally no economic reason to vote against Milei’s government. All the reasons—ALL of them—are social reasons the left has managed to plant in people’s heads.
To sum it all up, The world still isn’t ready for a Libertarian government. Milei is simply a small diamond nugget inside a giant pile of crap.
