President-elect Javier Milei vows to end ‘Argentine decadence’ in victory speech
In a victory speech to adoring cheer-filled supporters, Argentina’s president-elect Javier Milei on Sunday vowed to begin “
“the reconstruction of Argentina” and end the country’s economic decline.
Argentina’s newly crowned president-elect Javier Milei vowed on Sunday to “end Argentine decadence” and restore the nation to economic growth and stability after storming to victory in a second-round run-off.
“Today begins the reconstruction of Argentina. Today begins the end of Argentina’s decline. Today ends the impoverishing model of the omnipresent state, which only benefits some while the majority suffers,” the libertarian lawmaker said after his resounding win.
Milei, 53, was elected president in the presidential run-off after easing to a clear victory over his rival, Economy Minister Sergio Massa.
With 96.34 percent of polling stations reporting, the libertarian had 55.77 percent to his opponent’s 44.22 percent.

Taking to the stage a little after 10pm, Milei thanked the “good Argentines,” his sister and campaign manager Karina Milei and those that accompanied him on the journey to the Casa Rosada.
Milei listed the country’s multiple woes, which include poverty levels of 40 percent, and increasing insecurity, saying they “
“only have a solution if we once again embrace the ideas of freedom.”
He vowed to “work side by side with all nations of the free world to help build a better world.”
Milei vows swift measures to pull Argentina out of crisis
The libertarian continued: “
“Today one way of doing politics has ended and another begins.
Despite the gloomy situation, I want to tell you that Argentina has a future. That future exists, if that future is liberal.”
Referencing his controversial economic proposals – which include “dynamiting” the Central Bank and dollarising the economy – Milei said: “There is no room for gradualism, there is no room for lukewarmness or half-measures.”
He said all those who sought change and rejected Argentina’s previous mode of government were welcome to join him.

Milei promised to return Argentina, one of the richest countries in the world a century ago, to its former glory, after decades of stagnation, mostly under the populist Peronist coalition – big on welfare and government spending.
The president-elect vowed “a limited government, respect for private property and free trade. The model of decadence has come to an end. There is no way back.”
Milei offered special thanks to former president Mauricio Macri and failed opposition presidential candidate Patricia Bullrich, who threw their support behind him after defeat in the first round and helped bring over their voters to his force.
He also thanked scrutineers from his party and those from the opposition PRO party that had worked to protect and count votes at polling stations.
Milei ended his speech with his traditional trademark rallying call: “Viva la libertad carajo!” (“fucking long live freedom”).
News of the libertarian’s victory prompted wild scenes from supporters on the streets of Buenos Aires. The area around the Hotel Libertador, his traditional bunker for election night, was swamped by revellers celebrating his win.

THE RIGHT TO FREE STUFF FROM THE GOVT (the welfare state) corrupts everything it touches. Deeply insidious corrupting entire cultures and everything and everyone it touches. Blame the welfare state, not anything or anyone else.
GOVT HAS NO MONEY. All govt has is a legal but necessary monopoly upon the use of physical force.
There are libertarian anarchists who promote the idea of a stateless society. Communist Utopia is also a stateless society. Anarchists are essentially communists virtue signalling as capitalists (beware of these).
GOVT by necessity must be regulated and restricted in detail. Govt is a necessity for the existence and protection of INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. The purpose of physical force that is ethical that retaliates only upon the initiation of physical force and only upon those who initiate its use. Violence and coercion must be extracted from society. This cannot happen by wishing it so (as anarchists and communists do).
The CITIZEN (the individual that society is comprised of) by necessity operates by Rights. Rights protect the humanity of humans in a social context.
RIGHTS ARE MORAL PRINCIPLES that define and defend freedoms of action that do not impose obligations, other than the respect of those same freedoms, upon others.
There are no group rights, no LGBTQ rights, no aboriginal rights, no Caucasian rights, no rights to free stuff, etc. Neither are there Christian rights, Muslim rights, Jewish rights. THERE ARE NO GROUP-RIGHTS OF ANY KIND. There are only Individual Rights. You the rights respecting individual are the sovereign unit of value.

All my life of 63 years in Canada has been under totalitarian liberalism with Jewish and globalist overlords pulling the strings of their parliamentary puppets. The result of this misrule is a bankrupt, communistic, LGBTQ+ freak show plus hyper inflated real estate and white genocide on top of that. Then there is the clot shot. God only knows if a core breeding stock of European Canadians can be preserved and propagated after that. We do not need libertarianism or more liberalism and its pathological isms and policies. We need law and policy in the service of ethno- nationalism for the benefit of this countries founding people and their survival and well being. What has been going on for the last 63 years and may be longer does not serve that end.

A MORAL CAUSE UNITES AND ENERGIZES THE PEOPLE! A proper association is united by a loyalty to ideas, not to other men. The “mandating of freedom” is among the most beautiful and noble ideas there are to have loyalty to, and was recently re-discovered in Canada.
America’s Founders were Classical Liberals who discovered and implemented a valid theory of morality for the real world (Individual Rights), implicating the Rights respecting individual as the sovereign who is served by the govt who protects his agency as an individual.
It is this same Classical Liberal ideology that motivated the British Empire to mobilize its military to eradicate slavery everywhere in the world that they could, and were largely successful.
THE BRITISH JUGGERNAUT AGAINST WORLDWIDE SLAVERY. British Colonialism, in spite of its errors, was ultimately the best thing to have ever occurred to humanity.
Slavery and human exploitation existed everywhere in all of the 6000 years of recorded human history that we have.
Classical Liberal ideology germinated in the UK, and these began the process of liberating humanity, by these ideas spreading throughout the colonies.
After losing the revolutionary war against America, the Brits to their credit, became enlightened by the power of their own ideas, outlawed slavery in their own jurisdiction and chose to mobilize their military to wipe out slavery everywhere in the world where they could.
