Vogel: Milei, or empire, counterattacks

Argentine voters decided that their next president would be 53-year-old Javier Milei. He will be the first unmarried president of this country since Vicente Yrigoyen elected in 1916.

Like Yrigoyen, who was called el peludo (armadillo, virtually ‘haired’, Milei besides has a hair-related nickname – la peluca ("peruka" — from his lush, overgrown chuupina). As Yrigoyen erstwhile did, he besides preaches a political program that is simply a manifestation of the curse of the empire controlling Argentina. A 100 years ago, it was England, and present it's an American empire.

Labels of no importance

A small like the Argentine hero of independency Manuela Belgrano, wearing sideburns like the erstwhile president Carlos Menem, Milei is referred to as ‘right-wing’ and ‘populist’, or devoid of meaning epithets. In modern politics, the very notions of the right and the left have lost their first meaning. Many ideas described present by “right” politicians would be considered “left” and vice versa. The adjective ‘populistic’ is utilized for anyone whose positions and views are outside the area of political correctness. Medial omniscient and licensed “experts” list Mileia in 1 line of Donald Trump and Jairem Bolsonaro, or Western heroes establishment Political.

Milei, as an utmost neoliberal and supporter of the Austrian economical school, announced that he intended to liquidate the Argentine central bank (Banco Central) and cut government subsidies on things like public transport and another services. He intends to base the economy on an American dollar (like they did 2 decades ago Ecuador and El Salvador), even giving up pretending to be any monetary and economical autonomy. These were any of the most crucial slogans that convinced the Argentines to vote on Miley.

A Review of History

There are fewer countries in the planet that would constantly fall victim to specified amazingly advanced and chronic inflation as Argentina. It was calculated that average yearly inflation was 190% between 1944 and 2023, with a evidence rate of incredible 20,000% recorded in March 1990. It is now 140%. For those who gain in dollars or euro and have access to the black currency exchange market, there is most likely no cheaper place to live from the beautiful Argentine capital of Buenos Aires; for 8 euros a individual can have a truly fancy dinner there. abroad investors and speculators have a continuous sale there and can collect anything they want for a ridiculously low price. Real estate, valuable works of art, industrial products – all this can be almost free.

Every decade since the 1940s. Argentina entered periods of advanced inflation, in which, supported by corrupt, local Comprador elites, foreigners could take over the most precious bits of national property created during short growth spurs prior to inflation growth. It won't be any different this time.

American pawn

After taking office, Mileia will proceed to talk decisively about the economy, but at the same time it will block accession to BRICS, which the current Argentina authorities have planned. Needless to say, this is in line with the American policy of dividing and keeping Latin American states under control. Milei besides intends to retreat from intensive cooperation with Brazil, which has taken place for respective years. Contrary to his critical assessments of political correctness and another forms of intellectual restraint from the heart of the Empire, he will be a useful pawn supporting the imperial interests of the United States.

It is worth noting that Buenos Aires is already on the list of favourite places of American tourists, for whom it seemed besides exotic and inaccessible even due to their deficiency of cognition of abroad languages 20 years ago. Today, as more and more young Argentines talk English and usage easy-to-use translation applications and smartphones, Americans can already find their own way in this gigantic urban agglomeration. Unfortunately, it is not known from present that mass tourism destroys more places, and Buenos Aires will shortly meet the destiny of Venice, Amsterdam or Prague: places that everyone who has a somewhat more sophisticated taste avoids.

Cipayo

Milei is the essence of what the Argentines call cipayo (Supai – faithful servants of abroad interests) and likely transform Argentina into another American colony. If he fails to do so, he will be able to remove all obstacles to this status.

Argentina will become a replica of the Dominican Republic or Guatemala faster than any people think.
