Javier Milei’s libertarian model makes the State a toll of Wall Street: debt, adjustment and speculation for few, while the middle and low class assume the costs.
If you thought that freedom was a right, welcome to Argentina by Javier Milei, a country where freedom means that all your salary, your savings and your future are available to any treasurer’s creditor banker. Here, the State no longer regulates, does not protect and much less redistributes; It became a simple Wall Street counter where greed is charged in dollars and lives. Promised meritocracy translates into public titles with sidereal interest rates for international banks and investors and lottery tickets for the rest. In this new capitalist libertarian economy, nobody invests in a factory or trade, the businessman who perpetuates, speculates and whitening or, must be recognized, ends as a spectator.
Each libertarian-anarco measure is a lesson in history applied to the present, the cuts to public spending are not austerity, they are a show where hospitals and schools are sacrificed on the mammon altar. While financial executives celebrate record profits, retirees and workers look at their empty accounts wondering if the libertarian’s promise was ever included having a roof, food and health. Irony is almost poetic, a government that self -free and “anti caste”; It is full of known archi politicians and others suspected of corruption. However, the State raises the lace, “eating the weights”, manipulates the interest rate, emits pesos and crushes the dollar and rates. Savings in green middle class bills are diluted as in fire because inflation in dollars has been “Guinness record.” “Reality will prove that people will have to sell dollars to pay taxes … “ (Caputo)
The speeches of “less state, more freedom” are like fairy tales counted by charming traders, until one remembers that dragons eat retirees and castles are armored for a few. Each fiscal adjustment measure, each liberalization, each privatization is a stick on the head of the middle and low class, while “the former traders” provide champagne for the triumph of their God. In addition, every day they improvise something new, The Argentine economy has become a monopoly board, where the rules change according to who has more chips, and the losers cannot restart the game.
And in the meantime, in the Council of the Americas 2025, which was developed at the Alvear Palace Hotel in the City of Buenos Aires, the financial means applaud with fruition. Holders of media portals say: “The Council of the Americas showed the strong entrepreneurial support to the direction of the government,” hiding an elementary event, entrepreneurs do not celebrate the country, they celebrate the opportunity to exceed as far as they gave rise to it. Very soon they will see the dollar value of the shares of their companies fall. Update inflation: 1.5%. 1.6%and 1.9%: next month (P) 2.5%, it is not a system failure, it is the background music of an opera dedicated to Mammon. They taught us that markets anticipate cycles; But in this Argentina every stock market ascent is a laugh in the face; Soon, each bonus issued will make us remember that the debt of the foot -on citizen finances the currency escape of a few.
The tragedy is that this extreme freedom was sold as utopiait was promised that everyone could prosper, while redistributing wealth from the bottom up with an efficiency that would cause the envy of Alberto Olmedo’s character: “The tyrant of poor coast.” Here, Libertarism is a social experiment without anesthesia, where greed is institutionalized and inequality is naturalized. There are not even neoliberal structural reforms as they boast, only adjustments, indebtedness and financial bicycle that enlarges the debt and bank accounts of those who already had millions, while the life of those who not.
In summary, the Argentine libertarian-anarco capitalist is a piece of black theater, The main actors are financial, the extras are all the othersand the plot consists in seeing who survives organized greed. Mammon You no longer need speeches, laws or consensus, His power is measured in transfers, profits and collapses that others will pay. And the moral, ironic and cruel, is that anarco capitalism, when it is redefined as a privilege of few, ceases to be attractive to the undocumented who “believed”, and becomes a macabre show.
Welcome to the country where a part of the citizens determined by voluntary servitude, the State is a giant automatic cashier and The libertarian utopia does not promise happiness or security, says chainsaw for all and all and wealth for a few. The officials who manage the Public Treasury give lessons of Resilience for all The others.
If you ever dreamed with a libertarian-anarco capitalist; Remember, it is Mammon’s Argentina, … and the entrance ticket is paid with your economic life project.
