    Is funny to claim people are “backwards idiots” when it’s literally the first time in history this political spectrum (anarcho-capitalist) has been elected. What’s fresher than a first time ever?

        In that case would you mind explaining what they are that has already been there and has only gotten a glow up?

        I bet historians and economists would love to be enlightened

            It appears that we have different definitions of fascism

            “A far right political ideology that is anti-democratic, ultra nationalist, and totalitarian”

            Which… yeah doesnt fit at all to his so far 7 days of government

                He hasnt done such thing? During Presidential Debates he literally brought them up…

                And someone having friends that think alike? What a crazy concept! Just like Peronism that reivindicated dictators around the world and has ties with Maduro’s Venezuela and China, even selling part of the country to them

                Glad they didnt win.

                  “You too” is not an excuse.

                  And I don’t even know what the actual fuck is peronism. Some things look like right wing, some look like left wing, some are cult of personality, some are near anarchist, … Maybe because I haven’t understood it.

                    I agree, “you too” is not an excuse, but that wasn’t what I was trying to imply. For clarification it’s a matter of pick your poison because it doesn’t matter the person nor the space they belong to, bad apples are gonna be there so wether you prefer those bad apples to come from china or united states is really the only choice you can make.

                    And there is a saying in Argentina that if Peronism doesnt make sense to you, it means you understood it perfectly. The deal here is that it’s been the power that’s dominated the country since it’s inception… and look how that’s going

        Ah yes, fascists. Not like those werent in power until 2 weeks ago and the opposing candidate to Milei wasnt using government power to investigate, accuse and imprison (if not kill) those who made campaign against him

        Not that has anything to do with Milei, but when you consider that… and the fact that Milei has done nothing but comply to his campaign promises you gotta wonder whos the real fascist… or even the definition

      “The state is not going to pay for the use of the security forces; organizations that have legal status will have to pay or individuals will have to bear the cost”

      The state sending invoices to accused protesters is a about the least ancap thing I’ve ever seen. Such a fresh take.

        German police as well as courts of account have actually been lobbying to make football clubs pay for the operations they cause for quite some while. Would be tied to events with a commercial orientation attracting crowds > 5000 people or something along those lines.

        Considering that the security forces will only incur when protesters take away the fundamental right of transiting the streets… which is a crime, an Invoice instead of prison is rather light

        Now is it anarcho capitalist? Well people paying for their actions and its consequences being a law sounds rather anarcho-capitalist to me

            The principle of no-agression and respecting the other’s freedom are literally the principles or Anarcho-capitalism

            This measures ensure that those are enforced, how is it against anarcho-capitalism?

                  I didn’t say anything about any regieme. I was speaking plain and simple Ancap ideology which is so obviously broken (as I demonstrated) that it’s funny. It’s a collection of soundbites, sounding good to neoliberal edgelords, masquerading as principles, which break apart as soon as you connect them up because they contradict each other. As, to wit, the “everyone is bound to non-aggression” and “there’s no such thing as a social contract” thing. I don’t even have to bring up that private property is violence in itself.

                    I don’t know who’s interpretation of Anarcho-Capitalism you are following, but since ther has never been an Anarcho Capilist government in the world (which sounds ironical) it’s all just ideas and interpretations, of which seem you are grabbing the worst of the pile.

                    Rothbard’s definition includes in the fundamentals of the Contractual Society being voluntarily approached and free of violence or harm, which is to say that if you do not respect the inalienable rights of the others, you are violating the Contract for being in that society, and you are rightfully gonna be aprehended. There is no contradiction

                    Also, to what you said about “demonstrated” something, mind linking to what you have? There’s nothing around here like that

        In that case, could you please number the “Actions” they’ve done that deem them fascist? It’s been 7 days of government, im sure you’ll have no issue narrowing them down in such a timeframe. I would like details if you are able to provide, thanks!

            Thanks for the summary, unfortunately I must correct some inaccuracies on the provided bullet points

            Number 1: The threat of Jail is only for those protesters who incur on Blocking Public roads and or depriving other citizens of their right to freely transit, which has always been against the law, which makes them Criminals. The threat of Jail is only for criminals. And the claim of shooting protesters is from someone NOT in the government, in fact they are opposition so it’s not attributable to the government in any way.

            Hope this helps to make a clearer vision of what they have/are actually doing, would you please be so kind to update the list so we can see how many fascist things they are doing with that clarified?

                Not out in the woods necessarily, but it certainly wouldnt make a horrible protest place either.

                They just have to do it like how Argentines protested against The Minister of Economy ot the Previous Government (Milei’s opponent in the presidential elections) where they manifested, called and paid by no one (unlike these “Piqueteros” the article talks about), on a Sunday and blocked no streets or pathways. Simple as that!

                    Are you… advocating violence?..

                    I literally just said a peaceful manifestation without violation of the other’s right is possible and has been done not even too far back.

                    And also, these “Piquetes” aren’t peaceful at all. It is violent to stop workers from going to work, threatening their income necessary to sustain their life, it’s a crime under the hood of enforcing a right and that’s why they should be repressed. Those who don’t incur on the people’s freedom to go to work and live peacefully shouldn’t be of course.

      There’s been a gazillion times people from that particular political spectrum, that is, neo-feudalists, have been in power.

      No actual anarchist ever has ever considered ancaps to be anything else than that, ancaps plain and simply aren’t anarchist. You cannot be an anarchist while supporting systems of rule such as, to wit, capitalism.

          Ancaps are called Ancaps by Anarchists for that reason, yes, not because “anarcho-” wouldn’t otherwise be indicative of actual anarchism. Anarcho-syndicalism, anarcho-primitivism, the list is endless. Luckily we got spared Anarcho-withoutadjectivesism.

          Either they’re trying to appropriate our good reputation, or they’re just clueless idiots. Or both. Very likely both.

            Words have meanings beyond the people that use them, if the meaning is appropiate for representing something, it shall be used.

                  Neofeudalism. Ancaps are people who want their own little fiefdoms just that instead of justifying their rule by the grace of god, they justify it by the “grace” of the unregulated market. Which they, as neolibs generally do, like to equivocate with the free market.

        Half the country doesn’t know how to read

        Half the country voted for the Minister of Economy that ran the economy to the ground, used 2 Points of the Country’s GDP for his Political campaign and was also Defacto President the past 2 Years (not democratically elected) using the Ideology that has governed Argentina for 20 Years now

        I think you just cracked the code who the “Backwards idiots” you so speak of might be
