The election victory of self-proclaimed anarcho-capitalist Javier Milei is being celebrated by right-wing libertarians around the world. This neoliberal extremism is successful because other ways of tackling the worsening crisis have failed – not just in Argentina.

      It’s just a matter of time before a lady starts feeding bears from her back porch and the towns are overrun. You could make a bundle trading bear spray for other items that you eventually barter for things that other people have that you want assuming your barter goods have value to them.

      Sounds like a real utopia.

      You see, the problem you’re having with capitalism is that you didn’t capitalism hard enough. Just one less regulation bro, that’ll fix everything bro.

      Those Argentinians who are not dependent on „money from the state“ are now „very happy“, Poschardt’s acquaintances have told him from Argentina.

      Poschardt is not the only one who is impressed. Elon Musk also enthusiastically sharef the speeches of the new president of Argentina on his short message service X…

      They work for the people they’re meant to work for.

        I have done in fact, but thanks for waiting anyways. It’s a nightmare, but I don’t believe ‘Anarcho-Capitalist libertarianism’ is the correct answer.

      It’s just gonna be a testbed for the inevitable breakdown of democracy and regression into true neofeudalism.

      The very few own all the things and the population will be reduced to modern age peasants, owning nothing and working for scraps in the economies owned by their rulers.

      So basically as is now, just a bit more honest.
