“When you tell a socialist the truth, they cry, claiming it’s hate speech. No, it’s not hate speech. It’s that you’re useless people who have ruined the planet.” — Argentinian President Javier Milei 🇦🇷

I’m old enough to remember Harry Truman being quoted:
I never gave anybody hell. I just told the truth and they think it’s hell.
Yes, to the weak minded … the truth sounds like “hate”
Milei should win the Nobel for that refreshing bit of honesty.
Pee-pee better not catch any of his MPs talking to this fellow!!!
I gotta buy that man a beer!!
to think in the days of Peron there was a far more socialist lilt to things, painted over with nationalism. vaguely resembling naziism? is that why all them SS types wound up living out their days hosted by Argentina?
Well to be clear, Nazism has always been socialist….it is only Marxists that think otherwise who pretend that Nazism (fascism) and communism are polar opposites when they are much more like two drug street gangs fighting over the same territory….one gang wears blue do-rags, the other red.
Best book on the Nazi Economy was written by an expert – Gunter Reimann a member of the Communist Party. It is called “Vampire Economy”
In it he quotes the German company owners who realize they now have to read the Communist Manifesto. Any business in Nazi Germany of consequence had to have Nazi Appartchiks running the show. No one could order parts, raw materials, set prices, do exporting/importing, banking, international currency exchanges, hiring, firing, make capital expenditures without the Nazi Apparatchik’s approval.
Needless to say, by 1942 Hitler had to put Albert Speer in charge of military procurement because all the German companies had been effectively destroyed by the Nazi’s German Communist Model. Too funny, really.
“it is only Marxists that think otherwise who pretend that Nazism (fascism) and communism are polar opposites”
The divide is between National Socialists and International Socialists. It’s all communism.
Mussolini invented the name fascism for national socialism because people didn’t like the idea of international socialism.
People in general didn’t like the idea of a Global Government.
There was still a hangover of Christianity in Europe back in the early 20th century.
on consideration, it looks to me like Milei has breached the necessary threshold on government nannyism in Argentina, that is, ‘weened’ the populace off the idea they MUST depend on govt handouts to survive, forgetting as all do it is THEIR money being given BACK, minus the ‘handling fee’.
but he’s done it.
until there is a socialist plot to discredit him somehow, and return to ‘the old ways’
“The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence:
Hate the man who is better off than you are.
Never admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community.”
