I can assure you that he is worse than Trump 

[Morphine Prince 109,645]

This man behaves psychotic.

Interested in seeing what will happen. 

This is what happens when politicians get comfortable even though the inflation in Argentina is insane. 

Sadly, people got fed up and will literally elect anyone who gives them hope for change.

Im not surprised Argentina would go this route after 1 failure government after another

 

Regardless of whether hes got any merit or not. That tends to happen in democracies when major political parties fail miserably repeatedly. They go anothet route even if it isnt a better alternative

lowkey I'm kinda scared that after all the pathetic failures of other governments, he could succeed somewhat because the standard is so low, and it becomes some sort of an example that emboldens libertarians in the rest of the world

It just might. Argentina has been so mismanaged and so corrupt that a totally lazzifaire approach with little to no government interfearance in the markets might just work better

 

Dont get me wrong. I dont think extreme capitalism is the ideal way to go... The markets dont regulate themselves anywhere near perfectly... but if a government government is incompetent enough they can manage in some rare cases to make an already flawed system even worse than if they just didnt get involved and let it be. 

 

That doesnt mean far right libertarianism is the ideal way to go overall. But its gonna look that way to some if it at least works better than past argentina approcaches, which this just might cuz as u said, the bar for success there has now been set so low

[Shadow 6,697]

People from Argentina must be desperate with the high inflation and mess their government failed to address. Can he succeed where others have failed or would someone like him make it worse?

Radical Libertarian Far Right doesnt sound right though. If hes a radical Libertarian, hes not far right! Is he like a Ron Paul Libertarian?

A Libertarian is someone who wants less governmental authority or involvement in their lives which could be conservative or liberal depending on their political values.

Yeah you are right, but I generally wouldnt call a Libertarian far right!

When you say far right in America, its viewed as someone with some Nazi racist ideology, and wants religious authority, and want an end to homosexuality and "degeneracy". While a Libertarian supports full legal rights to everyone, including illegal immigrants.

The only thing they maybe would agree with a far right person on are some economics.

The graphic has a social scale and an economic scale. Libertarianism is far-right on the economic scale.
