[Milei WINS!] Javier Milei, Austrian econ. prof. & ancap, runs for president of Argentina

[PAF]

What is up with all the Milei-hate on RPF?!

Stop falling for the most transparent, Clown World Fake News tricks!!

It's not hate, it's called holding them accountable which too few people do. Why do you hate analysis and free speech?

A Rothbardian Dissection of Javier Milei

In consequence, if Rothbard buried Reagan, despite his free-market rhetoric, and did something similar with Thatcher, why would he have let his guard down in the face of Milei’s anti-statist rhetoric? It is completely impossible that Mr. Libertarian would have turned a deaf ear to the resounding bells of truth. Because the truths that have been exposed here are enough to expel Javier Milei from a true libertarian movement, for he is, in reality, a member of the neocons, a regime “libertarian,” a false libertarian—and a fraud.[1]

Without even reading it, it is obvious this article is utter trash. It has no clear thesis, which is mandatory for an article of that length. "Rothbard criticized Reagan and I think he'd criticize Milei, too" is not a thesis. The author's "thanking" of the various people cited at the bottom of the article feels like vapid name-dropping to me. I have not seen any criticism of Milei from any of the people he cites (I could be ignorant of it, I just haven't seen it). I have no idea why Lew Rockwell posted it, but I will note that the most recent public appearances I have seen of him, aging seems to be hitting him pretty hard. That's just how it affects some people. I no longer consider lewrockwell.com to be the libertarian standard it once was, and I have seen many questionable choices in the articles published/linked there.

I would have taken time to read it before making such a comment. But that's just me.


Lew probably posted it because it's a Mises.org article:

I posted several articles on how Javier Milei has litearly stolen the Argentinian gold and sold off its reserves not even his govt knows where that gold is now.

Javier Milei could easily loss power and support from the normal people/public when they find out his polices arent having a effect on the economy. And has sold most of its gold.

Yep, I read that, thanks. Also:

Rather than repudiating the national debt, as Rothbard would have appreciated, Milei came to terms with the IMF—thus following the statist recipe of his predecessors. The disbursements from the IMF for carrying out his plans place an unfair burden on the backs of the productive people and future generations. By relying on the IMF, Milei is also favoring the current and future political caste—in Argentina and abroad—that profits from the counterfeiting business. Any deal with the IMF is bound to specific conditions, especially with its main supplier, the United States. Argentina must follow guidelines that would not exist without the agreement, but this can hardly excuse Milei—because he was aligned with the U.S. government interests long before he became president.

Milei’s plans can only come to fruition over a long period, but his administration will not last forever. When the deadlines expire, the IMF’s conditions will apply again, and future administrations could also roll back important improvements made by Milei. This pendulum of democracy alone is sufficient for promoting radical political decentralization and secession, but Milei has not done so.

They make some questionable editorial choices sometimes, also. This article is garbage wall-of-text. "Persuasion by metric ton."

Argentina’s security forces have announced plans to use artificial intelligence to “predict future crimes” in a move experts have warned could threaten citizens’ rights.

The country’s far-right president Javier Milei this week created the Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit, which the legislation says will use “machine-learning algorithms to analyse historical crime data to predict future crimes”. It is also expected to deploy facial recognition software to identify “wanted persons”, patrol social media, and analyse real-time security camera footage to detect suspicious activities.
