      Nah it’s not that it’s libertarianism failing it’s just that idiots version of it failing

      What they’ll say when it fails or next time someone else tries to implement their ideals

      I’m not a libertarian, I’m a social democrat.

      The last century has been a total and unmitigated disaster for Argentina. The two options Argentinians had in this election were:

      1. More of the same by the guy who oversaw inflation reaching 160% (100% chance of things getting worse)
      2. A total wild card (99.9% chance of things getting worse)

      Unsurprisingly, they went for the latter. I don’t think anti-libertarians get to gloat in this context, given it’s the Argentinian establishment which has overseen one of the most remarkable examples of total state-collapse and economic failure in modern history.

        I don’t actually know anything. But casually to me it looked like a choice between 160% chance of it getting worse and a 300% chance of getting worse. And it’s not very surprising at all in these circumstances many go for the latter for all sorts of reasons (and delusions). But I don’t actually know anything.
