Javier Milei, Argentina's New, Far-Right President

  • Summary

  • In this episode, Oden speaks to Left Voice member and Princeton Postdoctoral Fellow in Latin American Studies Juan Ferre about Javier Milei, the far-right libertarian economist who has just been inaugurated as president of Argentina. Juan describes how Argentina's economic and political crises set the stage for Milei's rise, the parallels that this moment has with the 1990s, and the failures of the establishment parties to pose an alternative to the status quo. We also discuss what lessons this situation has for leftists internationally and in the United States, and the importance of organizing an independent, working-class resistance to capitalism and imperialism.
