Both libertarians and Kirchnerists will be shocked by the title. They will probably hurl insults at the comparison and deny the relationship, however, there are various and undeniable similarities that we analyze below.
These are the similarities and differences of the “K style” used by Javier Milei.
1) Hifor presidential presence
Both started from the premise that the weakness in which they assumed office required a centrality.
NK: With 22% of the votes after coming second in the general election and without a runoff due to Menem’s resignation
JM: For not having a party, team, important figures or legislators.
2) Attention and pressure on the work of the press
NK: Telephone calls to confront opinions that the government considered unfair were famous.
JM: Known for insults and very strong tweets to journalists.
3) Constantly make enemies visible
NK: Supreme Court, the police, the military, the dictatorship, among others
JM: The Caste, the lukewarm, the socialists, communists, among others.
4) Constant references to heritage
NK: The Menemist and neoliberal past.
JM: Alberto, Peronism and the caste
5) Using the counterftoctic
Frequently appealing to what could have happened.
NK: Reviving the possible return of the 2001 crisis
JM: Hyperinflation possible at 15,000%
6) Propose a new paradigm
Typical of governments that take office. They try to give history a new meaning and reestablish a narrative.
NK: Claim human rights, recognize minority rights, etc.
JM: End the decadence, restore order and reduce the size of the State. Put Argentina on the map of the (Western) world.
7) Imposition of own values and priorities
NK: Paladin of justice and honesty.
JM: Defender of the ideas of freedom.
8) Disintermediation of traditional press
Looking for space to contact citizens on the street.
NK: In constant tours and appearances
JM: On social media and occasionally in personal contact
9) Global repositioning
NK: Call for self-criticism from the IMF and counter-summit to Bush in Mar del Plata.
JM: Driving alignment with the US
10) Own brand
A way of doing things.
NK: Relaxed and genuine
JM: Politically incorrect
Differences:
There are several obvious differences, such as the format of management, political coordination, negotiation with allies, and the economic or security approach. Disruptive by nature, Néstor knew the ins and outs of political power, the inside of a complex system, and Milei strikes from the outside, like an outsider.
Conclusions:
Although their approach, ideology and political stance are different, we interpret certain traits, both in personality style and in action, that are more than strikingly similar.
