Javier Milei in Davos: the Mick Jagger of the world economy

The current president, just like on the local screen, is causing international attraction. The truth is that no one understands how he could achieve the presidency of the Nation, when a few years ago he was unknown in his profession, in his city. His constant appearance on a television channel, present in countless programs, at all times on the grid, helped a lot. Milei raised the ratings with his Karadagianesque frenzies, someone said he was a kind of Jacobo Winograd of the economy. But that was underestimating the power of political marketing, television and social networks, just 4 years after the Macri accident. On the same channel, a high-rated night program also featured the current Minister of Justice, elevated the economist to charge of the budget commission (Congress), the YouTuber Ramiro Marra, pushing with countless journalists, currently expatriates from the dispersion.

MILEI DELAYS AND THE CHANCELLOR DOES NOT HELP

He went to warn the Western world that it is in danger. The Forum 2024 was presented under the theme: “Rebuilding trust”, the 54th annual meeting aims to discuss the basic principles of trustnamely: “transparency, coherence and responsibility”. – What has been Milei’s contribution to these topics on the agenda? -None. –

Diplomacy constitutes the means through which States relate to international organizations.

The Davos agenda required a certain protocol prudence. At a world conference the speeches are open to the public. Evidently, it was an activity absolutely unknown to the president and his Chancellor; with a message that was also enveloped by a certain dogmatic mystification that additionally complicates the situation of a country that in 2016 made promises that it did not keep (there in Davos), and in January 2018 “fell off the world.”

Milei went to reissue the 2024 version of a story from 77 years ago, when in 1947, about 40 people from Europe and the United States met in a mountainous place in Switzerland known as Mont Pelerin. They gathered in a hotel to discuss the future of “economic, social and political freedom,” in the face of the rise and growing influence of collectivist ideas. Milei was going to pose the same risk of 1947, in a Europe 2024, without communism since 1989.

After the Second World War ended, the European continent was in ruins. Germany and Austria were under the occupation of the United Kingdom, the USA, France and the USSR. The Cold War was dividing Europe, and the communists were prevailing in Eastern Europe, where Stalin had advanced in the conflagration to defeat Nazi Germany.

At that time, in all the democracies of Europe, including the United Kingdom and France, political trends and government policies were “apparently” marching towards a world of socialist planning – in the way of this group -, with strong regulation of an income redistributive welfare state. In the US, “price and production control” had just been lifted.but political economy continued to draw on Keynesian ideas, and that continued until early seventies, when 2/3 of the world was collectivist.

THE DAVOS 2024 AGENDA WAS ANOTHER

The Financial Times said: Milei, a self-described anarcho-capitalist and former television punditwas elected on an anti-establishment platform in November in the midst of the worst crisis in the South American economy in two decades.

The libertarian president of Argentina, Javier Milei accused Western leaders of abandoning “Western values” “I am here to tell you that the Western world is in danger” . . . “They have been co-opted by a worldview that leads inexorably to socialism.”“international organizations” had been influenced by the “collectivism”, “radical feminism” and a “cruel” attitude. . . “environmental agenda”.

with own agenda AND magical POWERS

The president went to defend libertarian ideas, seeking to position itself as “world leader of freedom” at the World Economic Forum. “This is my opportunity to position myself as a world leader of freedom.”, Milei said to her surroundings…(ámbito.com, January 15, 2024)

The president perceives himself as Super Heroin its field of action, an event like this, encompassing all of humanity, it is the ideal place. Davos represents an extremely suitable setting for your dreams.

Without a doubt, the president believes he is destined to be a spiritual savior – he comes to fulfill God’s “mission” (“El loco”, Juan González, journalist and writer). “When presenting her book a year ago at La Rural, we were sitting in the front row and Karina Milei moved us one back. The seats were free for the entire conference. They were for the spiritualist dogs that send messages from beyond the grave and that they direct to Milei,” said lawyer Maslatón through Twitter (ámbito.com).

Psychologically, a god complex is associated with narcissistic personality disorder. People with this complex perceive themselves as better than those around them and significantly exaggerate their importance.. While a god complex, by itself, is not a mental health diagnosis, it also does not exhibit and contribute too much trust, coherence and responsibility in an international Forum.

DENATURALING THE TRUTH, FOR A CHANGE

Milei said: “Believe me, there is no one better than us Argentines to bear witness to these two issues. “When we adopted the model of freedom, back in 1860, in 35 years we became the first world power,” and then point out that in the last 100 years Argentines “They became systematically poorer until they fell to number 140 in the world.” Nonsensical and repeated hoax.

That country was wonderful only for a small group of surnames. Some Pueyrredón, Lezica, Olaguer Feliu, Anchorena, Alvear, Alzaga, Unzué, Peralta Ramos, Obligado, García de Zúñiga, Pereyra Iraola, Pereda Girado, Graciarena, Báez Castex, Duggan, Duhau, Martínez de Hoz, Leloir, Ruiz Díaz Vionnet, Anzorreguy, Araoz, Basavilbazo, Costa Paz, Pelliza, Iriarte, Larreta, Pelliza, Accasuso, Terán, Videla, Virasoro, Zavaleta, Zorraquin, for example. Many went on vacation to Europe, dazzling with their wealth and built large mansions in their rooms, particularly in Buenos Aires. Almost all the famous surnames of these families stopped being rich a long time ago and some even work for the new rich: Macri, Eurnekián, Roca, Roemmers, Werthein, Elsztain, Constantini, Galperín, Sigman, De Narváez, Bulgheroni.

Draw conclusions about how good the illustrious businessmen of the years that Milei cites were at doing business..

It was not a dream time as they say, as pointed out in the report written in 1904 by the Catalan Bialet-Massé: a significant part of the population lived in fields or cities, on the threshold of poverty. There was no middle class, Those who did not have money did not study and the majority of those who had money did not study either..

Around 1880, national unity was formed under the direction of governments in which total power was in the hands of a few peopleof the same social class, who maintained constitutional forms, but excluded opponents from the potential exercise of power and elected heirs.

The “conservative consensus” was manifested through various ideological currents. The predominant, liberal “commercialist”, and that of the “real politik” of nationalism. In foreign policy, the different sectors of the elites expressed alignment, with interests of British origin or other European countries.

Bartolome Miter, politician, military man, journalist and historian, acted as representative of the aforementioned minorities, had He was president (1862-1868) and his policy combined a free trade economy and repression. The bloodiest in the history of Argentina, to sustain the economy. 5,000 deaths are assumed, in a country that barely had 1,500,000 inhabitants.

The hypnotic litany that Milei and his entire troupe repeats is manipulative, “per capita income was very high in Argentina at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.” The reason is that there were only 1,500,000 inhabitants. To return to that country, we have 45.5 million inhabitants left over. Bit serious.
