Exactly when freedom is not advancing Javier Miley Imagine Christina Kirchner did him a favor yesterday: bringing him back to the center of political competition And turn it into one of the mirrors of comparison to distinguish later, At a time when a libertarian is lost in an labyrinth of imported agenda that does not echo people And this obscures its historical narrative axis, against state freedom and the market. “Now there is someone who says that Cavallo was the best economist in history,” the vice president said, referring to Miley, though without naming him, in a CTA plenary speech. Speaking of unemployment, the vice president summed up Menem and Cavallo’s decade with one sentence: “Picketters are the children of the liberal politics of the 1990s.” The title of his presentation at Avelanda could lead to the opposite conclusion at one of Miley’s conferences: “State, Market and Prices: Manufacturing, Labor and Social Policy in Monetary Argentina.”

While Christina Kirchner spoke “Stupid State” Define a public administration headed by Alberto Fernandez and his officials who do not work, and not the state in general, and Miley usually speaks of an “enemy” or a “thieving” state and also emphasizes its inefficiency, the vice president said. Huge distance and highlighted a “Invincible State”No longer is it just necessary.

The state has forcibly installed itself as a discourse booty for politics. It is logical: almost 40 years after the restoration of democracy and a series of cyclical crises, the effectiveness of politics and the state is at stake. The Vice President is now adding a new chapter with a growing consolidated decision to wage a pedagogical struggle against neoliberal common sense in general, and libertarian common sense in a more specific sense. “Now that libertarians are in vogue,” admitted Fernandez de Kirchner, when he questioned the conceptual pair between supply and demand. The second mirror in which the vice-president looked at himself was he Mauricio Macri. “This inflation is the product of a criminal debt’s macro,” he said.

Christina Kirchner does something with words, it is a rare skill in today’s political leadership. He plays hard in government management, for example, when his cards manage to force the president to make promises and decisions. Or his speeches on anniversaries, such as the YPF anniversary two weeks ago, when he achieved self-immolation. Matthias’s ear Cabinet. Either he points out his differences with the opposition as he did yesterday with Flag Day, or in his pseudo-academic presentations like Chaco.

Christina Kirchner herself creates a world of quotations between her speeches, as if it were a closed literary corpus. He was quoted as saying yesterday in a speech on December 20, 2020: “There was a question of ‘not taking three or four livelihoods of growth’, of ‘regulating prices, salaries, pensions, tariffs’ and ‘bureaucrats’.” Who does not work. ” Chako also quoted his words: he mentioned the issue of emissions there, he recalled. Having lost the vice president’s speech ability to block and create a story, he now uses the word to make full use of his power to divide, condition, and obstruct.. He rejects notions of political opposition and denial of its truth, but also of President Fernandez. The “stupid state” he has questioned is what is preventing him from moving forward, in his version, with the “fleeing” silver tax of the Argentines. He also addressed everyone on the second front of the internal front: the role of social movements. “The nation state must regain control, a social policy audit that can not continue to outsource,” he said.

Christina also questioned the whole liberal economic view that stems from her conception of the state. He rejected the one-man explanation for fiscal deficit as the mother of inflation and replaced the relationship between inflation and multiple causes, from supply, demand, and inactivity, to debt in dollars that are inaccessible, and the bimonthly economy. . The opposite common sense, which Miley now takes to the extreme with her anarcho-capitalist contribution to the notion of the state and the benefits of freedom. The Vice President’s speech yesterday delivered Miley’s oxygen just when she needed it most.

From the suburbs of Buenos Aires to Colombia, the libertarian wave weakly reaches the shores where voting takes place. Colombia voted for the former guerrilla Gustavo Petro And Conservative right-wing candidate, Rodolfo Hernandez, Which Miley clearly supported on his South American tour, eventually lost the vote. “If the car is Hernandez, let it be Hernandez,” Miley told a conference in Barranquilla. არ was not.

Defeat Jose Antonio Casti In Chile; Polls, in Brazil, that gives Jair BolsonaroAnother ideological ally of Miley, down below, is far from Lula and her chances of winning, and now it is Colombia. The libertarian America that Miley and Bolsonaros dream of is almost as weak as Patria Grande of Kirchnerism and Latin American populism, in the latter case, because although Borik and Petro were born of the far extreme left, they are allies of both. In moderation to win the election.

It is this plasticity that costs the pipe, which is immersed in its extremities without nuances.. Paradoxically, The milestone of political antiquity strengthens its own bubble of isolation And the caste’s own choreography in its agenda and its political alliances, both provincial and international. On the political agenda, Miley was effectively synonymous with a small state and a large market, and freedom had reached the limits that had hitherto been imagined. There he found the resonance he needed last year to establish a place among Buenos Aires voters. The problem in this axis is twofold: on the one hand, because it is more expedient for another political force, such as “for change”, which also has the territorial structure of a coalition of solid parties and which, in the end, was the coalition that started. To raise the need for a more rational state by calling for a zero fiscal deficit utopia during Macri’s presidential administration. And on the other hand, If Miley wants to add votes, he must diversify the agenda, as a more efficient state and a more deregulated private market become the nature of a large part of the electorate. This is an agenda that belongs to everyone and therefore to no one.

And there Miley finds another limitation: Decontextualized import of foreign agenda When he translates right-wing debates in the United States as if English “liberal” means the same “liberal” in Spanish. This agenda presents two difficulties: it cannot find resonance in Argentina, and if there is identification, it is reactionary and not liberal. Extrapolating market logic to social issues such as organ donation or the uncritical importation of freedom to bear arms makes it an unearthly candidate: the caste detachment is elevated to nth degree.

A statement of his admiration Margaret Thatcher Still puts him in unnecessary trouble with part of his electorate, Georgia Nationalist Court. And it loses the opportunity to rebuild the hard core of its central, macroeconomic agenda. Argentine libertarians, including liberals, admire Thatcher for her economic ideas, which are perfectly synthesized in the intervention of the former British Prime Minister, which is already a classic. This happened in the British Parliament when the opposition reprimanded him for an eleven-year strong growth gap between the rich 10% and the poor 10% and the rise in poverty. “The socialists prefer the poor to the poor, while the rich are less rich and reduce inequality,” Thatcher explained.

In this scenario, the balance of power changes. Before that Macri needed Miley. Now it is Miley who will take advantage of Macri’s approach. There are more than a year left until the next elections. Deciding on a composition in the present is risky for any future. The regularities established over decades of democracy have been defeated. For example, that Peronism provides governance.
