Argentina has formally announced it won't join the BRICS bloc of developing economies. Friday's announcement is just the latest in a dramatic shift in economic policy triggered by Argentina’s new far-right President Javier Milei.
I fully agree that Milei is at best dangerous to Argentina, but the country’s economy has been kinda fucked up for a while. Inflation has been mad and growth has been generally negative for at least a decade
It looks like I actually replied to the wrong person accidentally. I had meant to post that under Virkkunen’s comment rather yours. I do agree with you though
The problem is that the election was between Captain Anachrocapitalism and a continuation of Peronist policies which included a lot of government intervention.
He was won because he ran against everything the government represented.
Maybe organizing workers into political representation. I know it’s not easy, but desperate voting for a fucking ancap just to get a change from bad to much worse is not it, unless someone is accelerationist.

Yes, but neoliberal shock therapy is not gonna make it better. If you look at history of neoliberalism, it made everything worse every single time.

So once you organize, what do you do?
What policies do you implement?
They scream for they do not know
