    TLDR:

    The Ministry of Culture (and a few more: Social Development, Education, Women, Labor) will all get merged into a new one called Ministry of Human Capital.

      Ministry of Human Capital

      Did they have a contest to find the most inhuman, corpo-speak name possible or did they start with “Ministry of Human Chattel” and decide to tone it down slightly?

        You don’t need a competition when you have an oxymoron like an anarco capitalist at the helm. They are naturals.

    His face creeps me out so much. I usually try to attack the policies and not the person but it is just too much for me.

    It’s like if Jason Bateman was cast in an oddball version of Batman where the Penguin was actually Isaac Asimov.

        The fuck? Where have you been hiding and getting news for all he’s trying to do? He’s as far away from fascism as the Earth is old.

        He’s got some very…questionable positions and some things I absolutely disagree with, but fascism is most definitely not something he’s associated with. In fact, I’d argue he’s as anti-fascist as it gets.

        Fascism needs four things: Ultranationalism, Authoritarian Rule, Violent opression of your opposition and economic protectionism. All four things are as far away from his positions as it gets.

        Yes, he’s very conservative on some issues and has a pretty far right stance on others, but he’s doing the complete opposite to repress different opinions. He’s opening the country up, he’s for same aex marriage and so on. I don’t agree about having to privatize everything and I think it’s a very bad idea, but that’s not fascism.

            FFS, just because he’s adopted some anti-socialist stances that align with Trump and Bolsonaro, he’s a political ally? God, i wish the world was that easy and black and white. Get some fucking political education, all you clowns that upvoted this shit.

      In Argentina, photographers usually try to get the most unflattering pictures of politicians so they can sell them to newspapers ideologically opposed to said politicians.

      That’s not what’s happening here. He really does look like that. You should see what he looks like when he’s posing for a picture.

    On the chopping block is the Argentine Ministry of Culture, along with the ministries of Health, Labor, Social Development, and Education

    Feel like leading with the Mjnistry of Culture being cut over anyone of these to be odd.

    This feels like it’s going to end up as Anarcho-Capitalisms Cuba. Touted as proof that it works by supporters and as proof it doesn’t work by detractors. I hope the Argentinian people come out of this ahead, or at the very least not even worse off.

      Hard to be much worse off than over half the population living in poverty and using the black market to get basic things. In Europe and the United States, the black market is where criminals sell drugs. In Argentina, the black market is where everybody sells everything. Drugs or not.

        I don’t know about that. Capitalism with minor restrictions and major corruption are largely to blame for it. Taking away minor restrictions and just leaving the capitalism and corruption to their own devices, really only can end one way.

        Yeah, I know, which is why I fully understand chosing this guy over literally their prior finance minister. It’s pretty much “change nothing and hope it improves” vs “blow it all up and hope his ideas work half as well as he thinks they will”.

          If I remember correct, the saying is something like an idiot does the same things over and over again and expects different results. Sometimes you just have to blow something up and start again.
