Dear friends of VisualPolitik, the Chainsaw Plan of Javier Milei's libertarian government is already underway. The new president has come to government with the clear intention of changing Argentina. No gradualism or waiting times. The changes have been set in motion at full speed.
But how far-reaching is this transformation plan, what exactly does it mean for Argentina, and where do the trade unions and the opposition stand?
#Argentina #America #Milei
Argentina spent decades centralizing this power in the presidency under peronism. Surprise pikachu face when that power is used by a non-peronist president.
You can't stand alone when the world economic system is a capitalistic one.. the Soviet Union and China had found out.. hmmmm..
A direct result of nationalism that legalise such an unfair economic system when placing means of production on the hands of the capitalistic economic system..
The world 🌎 need a one world government and another economic system to replace capitalistic economic system and yes end the money system as incentive.
Its funny because a literally revolutionary ideology that abhors aggression, which usually means its inherently at a great disadvantage, is using the institutions to reform the state. Its like a libertarian wet-dream.
Honestly its about time.

Good luck Argentina from Poland! I believe you can pull it out, we did similar thing in Poland so yes it is possible!
And the Polish voters kept punishing the politicians for the very reforms that made the Polish economy better. Thank god that they kept reforming Poland anyway! This lasted roughly until PiS gained power…
@@peterfireflylundyeah too bad the poles arent smart
There will be a resurgence of the political gangs which previously robbed the banks in towns.

He's intending to change the culture which to an extent revolves around food.
A new protest music will emerge, the fiestas will be minimalized?
Cry for Argentina!
Drugs will become the new currency and crime gangs powerful?
And from Hungary - I am hoping this is going to be our near future, both of you guys are giving us something to fight for!
yeah they returned Don Tusk..good luck@@peterfireflylund
Good luck to Argentina.
Thank you!
The need it, A LOT OF IT!!
Give up the stupid fantasy claim to the Falklands 🇫🇰 and become a normal country on the world stage. That would be a useful step in making Argentina credible.
Cry for Argentina 😢
Bought an argentinian wine in Norway today, just to support😂🙌
Did it taste good?
Gracias , todo ayuda !
Is it good
Catena is à very good wine.
Buys wine from land opening up markets….from the Norwegian State Wine Monopoly….. 😂
Many outside of Argentina are watching to see what happens. If Milei pulls this off and Argentina again becomes a rich country, it will be the model for many other countries to follow, even the United States.
I do hope the best for the country and the Argentine people!
This is Argentina. It won't happen.
LMAO it won't.
It’s not going to work 😂 he basically flat out told everyone he’s going to rob the country blind how would it become rich

Finally, a politician that keeps his word.
Do you want to be more surprised? This is the first time i saw a politic being an actual honest guy... IN LATAM!!!
He is still not doing all what he promised but he is doing a great job... I honestly want to every govermment to succeded in serving the people
Hi. I'm from Chingford, London. I have lived in Argentina for the last 20 years in a place called Mar del plata.. I can tell you that Milei is the best thing to happen to Argentina in the last 100 years
totalmente de acuerdo!
Argentina have needed radical change and a radical meeting with reality for a long time

Britain next. Seriously.
Yes, but this isn't it.
We could do with a Milei here in Australia 🇦🇺❤
Clive Palmer? 😂
A problem with privatization has been sale of State owned companies to friends at bargain prices. Hope Millei prevents this.
If they are becoming joint stock companies IPOs should fix that
I’m thinking the sale of public sector assets at bargain prices is the actual point, not a side effect. It’s typical of privatization.
@@josephk.4200 the problem is when they are sold to friends
Also known as asset stripping
Doesn't matter.
Wow - reminds me of the dramatic Rogernomics reforms in New Zealand in the 1980's, after the disaster of the Muldoon years. Some parts of the reform were overdone, but the longterm outcome was positive. If any country needs dramatic change, it is Argentina. I hope this works out in the long run for them.
Unfortunately whenever major changes need to be made, the further in trouble you are, the more any changes are going to hurt.
But … You’ve got to START Somewhere.

Thanks for keeping me informed about Argentina and Javier Milei. I find this story fascinating. High stakes.
Argentina has always had the potential to be a superpower I hope this is a step in the right direction for them.
No. It has always had the potential to be like Canada or Australia, but not a superpower. However, far too many Argentines do believe that only the evil machinations of other countries (with the US and UK at the top of their list, but there are others, according to Argentines) have kept them from their righteous place among nations. The idea of "Argentina Potencia" is very strong in that country, but it's based on a severe overestimation of their capabilities and a terminal underestimation of the competition. Right now there is only one superpower. One candidate to superpower status (China, whose reality and economy are far weaker than its propaganda preaches). And one potential superpower if it unites as a nation (big if): the EU. That's it. India aspires to occupy the place China has now, but it has a long road ahead. There a no superpower-candidates with less than 300 million people, and the US, the only real superpower, is hyperproductive, so its approximately 330 million people can outproduce China and India combined. Argentina does not have the potential to even approach that group. At the most, it can aspire to be a prosperous economy like the aforementioned Australia and Canada and, indeed, closer to Australia given Argentina's reliance on its agro sector. That in itself would be excellent for Argentines and should not be a pipe dream. Superpower status is not for Argentina because the reality of its relatively small population dictates its ceiling: not enough critical mass.
@@sid1genthe EU, that’s laughable. It’s been running on borrowed time and money. Wait until the U.S. stops footing the EU defense.
Superpower? How about try fixing your economy first, pay back your loans and then take back those small islands? Superpower?😂

It is important to clarify that people are still allowed to organize manifestations as long as they don't block public roads. They can do so in the plazas or any other public space.
"but then They can't annoy everyone and stop truck".
🎉
If the demonstrations have no impact on anyone, will you respond to their demands? Are they protesting just to kill time and have no political or economic demands?
@@user-sv7mg6qd1w Get better at demonstrations, then. Blocking people's access to the roads their taxes paid for violates their legal rights. If your protest violates rights, then maybe the problem is the type of protest and not the law prohibiting the type of protest.
@@seaofseeofwhy are they protesting?
Oh so they are repeating a failed experiment. Pinochet 2
Good luck 🍀 Argentina 🇦🇷
Thanks! Great Millei summary. Hoping for more!
The experience in Eastern Europe vs Russia shows the right direction still has scope to go both right or wrong - Argentina and President Milei need to be very careful. You want to inexorably move towards freedom, markets, less subsidies, lower taxes, innovation, monetary stability, privatization of non-critical assets, etc, but you don't want Russian shock therapy followed by reversion to authoritarianism, nor Ukrainian-style development of oligarchy, or to just otherwise throw the whole country into free fall.
Instead you want a Slovenian, Polish or Hungarian style orderly transition. Public assets should be gradually privatized (meaning both in terms of one company at a time and sold off in rounds perhaps ~20% of equity at a time) as markets stabilize, price information gets better and better and citizens actually develop the resources necessary to partake in the fledgling capitalist system, never flogged off in a fire sale all at once, or the public purse will get garbage returns from the sale of assets formerly owned by the people. Often these assets are managed like trash, but the assets themselves DO have very significant value.
For a start, if the assets are run directly by the government, they should ALWAYS be turned into SOE's for at least a year or two before privatization of the stock itself. The state should ideally make agreements so that the taxpayer retains some of the stock for a few years (needn't be voting shares even), with the buyers having the right to buy them out at fair market value later on when pricing of the financial instruments is more certain and you can be more sure the taxpayer isn't getting ripped off. With price controls, they should also be repealed in several bites, not all at once, and subsidies should be wound down even more gradually to give businesses a chance to adjust.
Many further examples, but there's no reason the whole process can't be completed in 5 years, or 10 years absolute maximum, and the important take away is that while it's important to keep your eye on the desire to move from A to B, there's absolutely NO reason it needs to be done in a brutal manner where you just rip the rug out from millions of citizens. If it's done gradually but with determination you can gain all the market economy efficiency without any kleptocracy or social collapse; if you do it wrong you end up with Putin's Russia.
In my view, what Eastern Europe can tell us is after fall of USSR most countries fell into a form of anarchy and extreme capitalism (w/ exp growth of mafias), followed by raise of few oligarchs and a form of dominance power and strong nationalism.
Maybe it was just Russia and few more countries.
However, I think many in Eastern Europe do lean to far-right views and nationalism, perhaps disappointed by, the fall of previous State structures (various shades of socialism down to quasi communism) didn’t immediately brought them the living levels of West Europe as portrayed in TV & Media & cinema (which usually portrays rich people or high mid class). (It should be said West Europe also have few pockets of extreme poverty that goes for generations).
EU membership, EU funding programs for development and other leveling up programs including societal institutions/structures have helped develop Eastern Europe and putting increasingly at pair with West Europe (in development, and in guarantees).
The Eastern Europe example is brilliant, especially because history repeats itself.
Romania was in a similar position in 1990. From a deeply authoritarian and despotic government to a pseudo-libertarian one in the span of a couple of years (pseudo in the sense that the changes to libertariansim didn't necessarily come from political means, rather from the goverment's incapacity to react to capitalist changes). In essence, Romania at the end of the 80's was a bankrupt country both economically and politically, so much so loans and foreign currency were impossible to access. This continued on in the 90's where economic instability, lack of regulations, bad credit ratings and failure of banks made romania a very risky environment for investment. Thus, foreign capital was practically inexistent, and very few privatisations actually had success (telecom and automotive). Much of the 90's saw Romania in an economic slump, only after deep political and economic reforms and economic regulations did the economy recover to a somewhat healthy level. For any argentinian economist and/or politician willing to liberalize his country, it is paramount of him to look at a very recent historic example and learn from it.
A really insightful comment. Well said.
Very insightful and intelligent comments in this thread - thanks all.
This is a really informative comment.
We could also use Milei in Korea.
I'm interested in what the economic changes bring, hopefully only good things for Argentina.
Milei isn't going to be capable of carrying out his vision by himself. He will need more support in the legislature first. Much love and best of luck to him and to Argentina from the USA
A lot of his changes aren’t great he failing to move Argentina towards a mixed economy which has been extremely successful for several country.
@@teamjam2863 Compared to state-interventionist countries? Because all of them are dirt-poor. North-Korea, South-Africa, the former Soviet Union and its puppets, etc.
@@chrismath149are they Muppets???
WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE 😂
He is a joker .
In any case, Argentine society is so ruined that if they see small advances economically as in other areas, within at least a year the support will be so great that in the legislative elections the libertarians will be the majority and will be able to carry out the reforms they want.
Drastic changes have been needed in Argentina for over 20 years. The out going government has completely ruined the country. Hopefully, Milei can change this
In Buenos Aires, rent has fallen by 20% and the supply of renting units have doubled ever since Milei's reforms. All they did was repeal unnecessary zoning regulations and removed rent control. That was it.
what arw you on about its increased lol
I hope they still have enough zoning regulations for adequate public transportation to exist. And for at least some public green spaces.
The very restriction of keeping the labor unions from committing violence during a strike would be a HUGE benefit to Argentina's economy.
@mogensgallardo3288 he'll have to face down the unions if he wants to reform them. Argentina has overly favourable Union laws
@@mogensgallardo3288however the reverse is true, if unions are TOO powerful than THEY become the problem that stifles businesses and the economy.
While that's true, we must keep in mind that if wages end up drastically reduced, coupled with the spending cuts, Argentina may face short term and maybe mid term slowdown from less consumption and government spending. It'll take a while for the private sector to pick up the slack, so this libertarian approach needs to be done very carefully.
@@mogensgallardo3288 Just because Europe (including Scandinavia) can afford labour unions, doesn't mean Argentina should do the same. They don't have the wealth.
@@mogensgallardo3288 Unions should not be allowed to deny entry to other people who want to work at a given establishment. That is not very free, and not very productive. The state should not be involved in unions AT ALL.
VIVA LA LIBERTAD, CARAJO!
I have many of Argentinian friends. I hope whatever these policies are used worked for the people and the country. I love the Argentinian people.
Very interesting indeed. I'm extremely curious to see how this approach work in Argentina and I'm hopeful that it improves Argentina's economy.
I would like to see Argentina thrive and this might just be what's necessary.
Unfortunately, he is correct. Gradualism sounds reasonable but the special interest groups always find a way to stall or defeat. New Zealand's great reformer, Roger Douglas said you had to move quickly before the special interest groups had time to mobilise.
We already tried gradualism in Argentina, didn't work.
I absolutely feel for Argentinians. Argentina should be one of the best countries on the world, a global super power no less. Unfortunately, corruption and mismanagement have brought Argentina to its knees. The path to prosperity will be long and painful. The poor will suffer most (as usual). I wish you well.
Good luck to Argentina.May be your success gives hope to Turkey
Thank you! And I hope that there will be winds of freedom in Turkey
I pray these reforms and Millei succed. God bless Argentina.
Im sure they will. In Peru we had the same situation in the 80s but with worse hyperinflation, and a harsher economic liberalization. We recovered but the first year was rough...
My opinion is that I hope things in Argentina get better under it's new leader.
Liberalization of the economy is like going on well balanced diet and starting workout: a lot of cells and organs refuse to cooperate, in some cases can be lethal, but ones body adopts it brings a lot of benefits.
Viva la libertad, carajo!
Sí, la libertad para morirte de hambre, carajo... que esa es la única "libertad" que vas a conseguir de lunáticos y fanáticos adoradores del mercado como Milei.
Fingers crossed for Argentina, but I doubt Milei will manage to bring about all these changes. I compare his situation with that of Macron, who won the presidency on promises of massive reform but the struggled with massive protests in another country accustomed to everything being shut down because of protests
Yes I think that is called democracy and the will of the people. The most efficient profitable programs are not necessarily beneficial for most people. Benefits flow to the rich and connected who understand the system.
Milei is pushing through, however he can. He won with 56% of the votes, he can do this. We all believe in him.
We need a Milei in South Africa. Amandla awethu!
Indeed. Heres hoping the coalition wins in 2024
No you don’t want that your leadership is like him already
I am not an economist by any means. However, I see one method employed in the US successfully. If a government product/service is bought by and converted to a private company then it can apply as a contractor to the government. The company will not be hindered from securing other customers or sources of revenue. Hence the entrepreneural spirit is born in Argentina. It will require Argentina's people having confidence in themselves.
True grit is a beautiful thing
Viva la Argentina
What an amazing politician. I hope we will get people like him in power where I live. Viva la libertad Carajo

I'd watch how this is going to work out. Looks like an interesting experiment.
Well Milei did say he was gonna " cut cut cut".
I just hope that he gets to see through the plan to the end. Such drastic changes will cause short term difficulties, that is inevitable- I just hope that Argentinians can stick it out to see the benefits that will come from these changes to their system
Excellent initiatives. For Argentina's sake, I hope they will all be implemented soon
Privatisation should work such that every citizen is given a share in the company. They can then sell their share to others.
Not when the state owned companies loose 14 millions of dollars PER DAY, which is sadly the case in Argentina, then you want to just get rid of most of them even for a penny. 😅

Vamos Argentina !!!! Vamos Mile !!!
I have been living abroad for too long to have a clear picture of what is going on in Argentina. Yet I’d like to say a couple of things. Doing nothing different won’t stop the country from continuing down the drain, so, go ahead Milei, Godspeed! Unions leaders are basically terrorists. Not only do they hold the country ransom, they also force workers to join them, exerting revenge on any absentees during protests, including physical abuse. Good job, if that is criminalized!
On the other hand, Drastic measures, always provoke drastic changes with usually extremely harsh effects on the majority of the people, so his support will evaporate quickly. But as I mentioned, something must be done, doing nothing, or doing more of the same would be insane.
Then at the end you have to suspend democracy to continue the reforms. Look to Chile as an example of dramatic economic reforms.
I was glad that I wasn't an Argentinian long before the election and am still pretty glad afterward. But I'm more hopeful. I feel for the citezens, but that can has been kicked down the road for way too long already. Hopefully they can get their agricultural sector to start operating correctly. And that they never elect another Peronista again.
Ser argentino es mejor que ser tu de estados unidos donde es peor
There are many things I do not know or understand about Argentina's situation, but the question at the top of my mind is whether the tax amnesty 16:42 and other measures will make it possible for the government to dollarize the economy. I understand that Ecuador has dollarized its economy, I would also be interested in a comparison between what they have done and Milei's approach to dollarization.
Essentially, the first self-proclaimed libertarian world leader 👍

I hope he pulls it up

@@SuperCrazyEstonian I mean the current opposition and court.
There's no oposition leader as of now and most likely there won't be any on 2027 presidential elections so if milei do things just right enough we secured 16 years of LLA government and the general consensus of the society means that a completely new oposition needs to appear because the 3 branches of the current one will get 2% of votes on the next election
¡¡¡VIVA LA LIBERTAD CARAJO!!!!

3 things are certain in life, death, taxes and VP making another vid on Argentina 🇦🇷 political affairs
This Milei seems like a very interesting chap. I wonder what footprints will he leave .
Given virtually all his reforms seem to be giving power back to the people and more freedom, it is the opposite of socialism, fascism, and dictatorial forms and in the spirit of Milei's professed libertarianism. Personally, I love it and if he is allowed to implement such plans I believe the country will bloom. Under such a regime, Argentina could become very prosperous and free, and I would definitely consider moving there.
Well ,nowhere to go but up !!

Will be interesting to see if inflation can be reduced…without that the situation will worsen.
The unions seem to be overly powerful..like in France.
One country away..Chile, seems to have a better model of government and free enterprise.
Yes and the Chileans paid a very high price for it. Argentina has their own very dark history I pray that these economic reforms don’t drive them backward.
@@user-xp7yy3py5o some Chileans paid a high price… those that were killed, or who were disappeared in the 80s .. but fast forward 20 years from the Pinochet regime and chile is a thriving economy with a standard of living that has risen more than most Latin American nations
So you would agree with the saying to make an omelette you have to break a few eggs? Who can be sure that Chile would not be prosperous without the murderous military dictatorship? For me there is a higher purpose to life than acquiring the latest new thing.

These reforms open the door to prosperity and liberty for argentina. Whether or not it is constitutional way to implement them is a different question
It is constitutional, only Peronists protest saying that it isn't, the same Peronists that literally never cared about the constitution at all and did a lot of things against it.
12:21 Exactly!!!! Not all workers agree with strikes and see it as a threat to their income. Union's' competitive authoritarianism on workers' rights does not clear the ground for liberal individual options in Argentina. But whenever strikes results bring benefits to workers, it also include benefits for the ones that did not strike.
You say the fundamental freedom to work, ignoring one very important detail, blockades were born as a way to prevent strikebreakers from rendering strikes toothless. In the asymmetry of power managerial teams sought to employ temporary workers at a loss to force workers to accept bad wages, conditions and living standards.
It's important to recognise that tool as one of the few levers that workers had and still have in situations where worker protections don't exist. Unions definitely need to go back to their roots and leave the semi statal paradigm that has transformed them into beaurocracies and parastatal organisations.
