The Spin

Javier Milei’s austerity plan poses a dangerous threat to Argentine workers, and his “shock therapy” measures threaten to roll back important labor and environmental protections. Workers across the country are united in opposition to Milei’s undemocratic and anti-worker proposals, and successful strikes are showing legislators that the people reject the government’s policies. Workers of the world stand united with Argentine unions that oppose Milei’s right-wing extremism.

Javier Milei took over a country that was in the depths of unprecedented economic and political turmoil, and he is already turning it around in just six months. Once a beacon of Western excellence, Argentina was driven to a societal nadir due to leftist regimes. Overcoming 300% inflation will obviously take time, but the left-wing establishment is already being threatened by Argentina’s promising recovery. Milei’s market-based reforms are saving Argentina.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 15% chance that Argentina will fully dollarize its economy before 2028, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
