On Sunday 19 November 2023 the flamboyant-outré, actually-Javier Milei won the presidential election in woeful, tragic Argentina.
Milei is repeatedly compared to Donald Trump, but there is really no comparison.
Milei is a self-described anarcho-capitalist, whereas most populists now and historically are openly hostile to capitalism and markets: modern populists hurl the "Neoliberal" insult at those with pro-market views far milder than Milei's.
Milei loathes leftists and leftism, and repeatedly refers to them on television and in public appearances in scatalogical terms, calling them "Leftards." He despises collectivism, and asserts bluntly that leftists are out to destroy you.
To combat the country's massive inflation, Milei says he will dollarize the economy and eliminate the central bank.
Even if he avoids Trump's fault of repeatedly appointing those hostile to his agenda to the positions in the bureaucracy he can hire and fire, Milei will still face the immense task of bringing those myriad bureaucrats outside his direct reach to heel.
Milei needs to be more than a mere Alexander.
