The most important defense of Liberty in the past 40 years, IMHO.

Full translation posted for discussion and posterity.

Javier Milei

He ran under the slogan "I didn't come here to lead lambs, but to awaken lions", denouncing what he saw as a political caste, which he said was composed of "useless, parasitic politicians who have never worked". He called politicians "rats", and said they form "a parasitic caste" that thinks only about getting rich.

I like him.

Read and agree with every word (even though he omitted the way socialism has now taken to pushing racial conflict instead of class warfare).

As Milei says, "Long live freedom, dammit!"

WOW!! What a speech! Inspirational and a call to arms.

And more importantly he means every bit of it and is acting to implement it.

I wish him all the luck and strength in the world! He will need it, the collectivists are going to go after him with everything they got.

“Therefore, in conclusion, I would like to leave a message for all business people here and those who are not here in person but are following from around the world.

Do not be intimidated by the political caste or by parasites who live off the state. Do not surrender to a political class that only wants to stay in power and retain its privileges. You are social benefactors. You are heroes. You are the creators of the most extraordinary period of prosperity we’ve ever seen.

Let no one tell you that your ambition is immoral. If you make money, it’s because you offer a better product at a better price, thereby contributing to general wellbeing.

Do not surrender to the advance of the state. The state is not the solution. The state is the problem itself. You are the true protagonists of this story and rest assured that as from today, Argentina is your staunch and unconditional ally.

Thank you very much and long live freedom, dammit! “

I think I read somewhere that Javier Milei was inspired by Ayn Rand. I haven’t read The Fountainhead in decades and decades but that ‘capitalism versus collectivist variants’ speech for me immediately triggered shades of Howard Roark’s courtroom speech of the ‘creator versus the ‘parasite’... and it certainly didn’t go unnoticed that in the 3rd last paragraph, he said “Do not be intimidated by the political caste or by parasites who live off the state.”

I started to comment and decided to do a search for the speech... here it is. Still well worth the watch.

Unfortunately, these harmful ideas have taken a stronghold in our society. Neo-Marxists have managed to co-opt the common sense of the Western world, and this they have achieved by appropriating the media, culture, universities and also international organisations.

Someone else from another country sees this too. KUDOS to Milei for countering WEF (now known as WorldEnslavementForum) socialism/collectivism BS.
