   Is the man with the Simon Bolivar whiskers Argentina’s next leader? “Far-right Milei comes out ahead in Argentina presidential primary”.

   Libertarian Javier Milei may not win in October, but both other candidates making the second round, Federal Peronist Sergio Massa and conservative liberal Patricia Bullrich, hail from Right of center.
   In the Anglosphere it has been below the fold news, but Argentina has become a Venezuela-style economic wreck, with triple-digit inflation and 40% below the poverty level, so it is no wonder the leftist Peronist tendency got completely wiped out. Whoever wins will be a marked improvement over Alberto Fernandez.
   The hype fixates on Austrian school devotee Milei, but he seems like a mixed bag. Says one article above,
   “Among other things, Milei has said that he wants to abolish the Central Bank, ban abortion, liberalize the sale of arms and open up a market for the sale of human organs.”
   Normally abolishing the central bank would be great, but he doesn’t mean to issue Argentine “United States Notes”, he wants to abolish the peso and just use the dollar, not a sovereigntist plank. A promise to codify protections for preborn life are good, but politicians are usually unwilling or unable to act on it in the face of “rights”. On the other hand he could probably succeed in expanding firearm ownership, then sit back as the murder rate drops as the bodies of crooks pile up, as in Bolsonaro’s Brazil.
   Given our wariness of libertarianism, best for voters to consider all three candidates carefully. After this cursory glance I might incline to Massa, as the legacy of Juan Peron badly needs to be rescued from the European-style socialists who have made it theirs for so long. #Argentina #ArgentineElection2023 #ArgentineElection #JavierMilei #Milei #SergioMassa #Massa #PatriciaBullrich #Bullrich #AlbertoFernandez #Peronism #libertarianism #libertarian #SouthernCone #SouthAmerica #news
