Recession triggered, but the IMF projects a rebound of 3.5% growth in 2025.

Surely the fact that he's basing most of his policies on nearly 100 year old advice from Hayek, Friedman, and Rothbard means the rest of the world just hasn't had the chance to learn about it yet

This is like that trope when a character goes to heaven and learns there's a correct religion, and all the heathens are burning in heck.
Except in this case, most people already knew what the right answer was and decided to get it wrong anyway.

The Paraguayan upper classes stopped marrying during Francia and simply had out of wedlock criollo children. Then they married immigrant groups (Italians, Spanish, Germans) who arrived after. Just like Chile.

How so?

The ditatorship in Brazil was an indirect election system along a forced two-party-system.
There were 2 parties, the ARENA and the MDB, and the President was elected by an electoral college. This meant they gave a semblance of "democracy" and preferred the term "military government" as in practice the Armed Forces were the ones making the calls and ARENA would always elect a general as President:
Elections were rigged and there was a lot of censorship but it wasn't this blatant junta like in Chile or Argentina. The courts and Congress also worked regularly (except for the 2 years right after the coup when Congress was closed) and just backed the government.
I think that if the United States ever becomes a dictatorship it would be something like that, both political parties will continue to exist but everything will be rigged in favor of one. Civil service will just co-operate, but the biggest factor again is a politicized armed forces.

bolivia the lab on how to do socialism with $4k/year average income.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I almost forgot about them.
For years leftoids talked about the wholesome "Bolivian model". When leftoids drafted the constitutional project for Chile in 2021-2022 they basically copied the Bolivian commie constitution with the "plurinational" shit included (it got rejected by 62% of the Chilean population on a referendum).
Now Bolivia's economy is tanking because they depleted their dollar reserves, Argentina is no longer buying gas from them, and the political turmoil.

i am on the ground here, can you explain please why the plurinational thing is so ominous? i can't quite put my finger on it. it seems related to mexico giving extra rights to the indigenous. its one of those things you sort of have to read between the lines.
k thx.

Most Chileans are mestizos and will simply identify as Chilean, then there's a 12% of the population which identifies as indigenous, most of them are Mapuches and then there are some Aymara and other minor ethnicities in the north.
The Mapuche activists and leftoids wrote a Constitutional Proposal where Chile would become "Plurinational", meaning the Mapuches would get special reserved seats at congress and have a separate judiciary, and autonomy on indigenous lands, this disgusted pretty much everyone outside leftoids and when the referendum day came the Mapuche majority towns in the South voted against the proposal with the "reject" option reaching 70-75%. The Indians are chilenos, they feel that way and just want more state attention for their communities, not some woke Apartheid shit where those indegenist "activists" would effectively become their leaders.

Chile has seen a decline of poverty from 50% to less than 10% in 30 years since the end of the Dictatorship, yet you see Redditors claiming Allende was this promising government which would have brought paradise on earth (the wholesome democratic socialism), never mind the inflation and mass poverty that existed during his short presidency (it existed before him but he was on the path to tank it further lmao). The economic policies which set Chile on a better path were implemented during the 1980s and took off after democratization.

I've been a lolbertarian all my life on cultural issues, freedom of association, etc, and even I'm impressed by this. aside from the really obvious deregulations and cullings that anyone with balls would do, there's a lot more that goes into steering the ship and a lot of stuff that could go wrong and I'm genuinely shocked that it's gone as smoothly as it has. I always thought "economics" beyond the high school level was almost as bullshit as the other social sciences because you can't do experiments but maybe it's actually legit

How does that compare to your past leaders?
Either way shows that the majority think this is the track to continue on at the least and is a slight improvement on his vote totals from the election too.
Seems his party should win the legislative elections next year too so that's another stamp of approval.

Highest approval rating for a first year President since Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007), yes, the late husband of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Instead of running in 2007 he ran his foid who then won (their original plan was him running one term, then her, then him and so on as to circumvent consecutive re-election limits). There will be mid-terms next year where Milei's party and allies will be tested, if they perform well is a good sign for re-election in 2027 plus a larger mandate.
Milei was honest on his inauguration speech, he said the first 2 years were going to be brutal because of adjustments and didn't sugar-coat a thing. He also abided by his promise of not privatizing healthcare nor education but decided to charge non-resident foreigners for their use of public services.

Migrating legally and becoming a resident is super easy btw. Just present your ID, justify your entrance (have a job, buying a house, going to study, remote work) and you can get your DNI (ID card) and a temporary residency. After 2 years you can apply for Argentinian citizenship lmao. Most generous country for immigrants ever.

Massive budget cuts, end of price caps, privatizations and once the peso stabilizes (it won't take too long) he's gonna remove the restrictions on currency exchanges. The "blue market" will disappear.
He's the opposite of "just talk" and what's surprising is that he's still popular. Macri ("centre-right" president who governed between 2015-2019) chickened out, he was too afraid of backlash while Milei doesn't give a frick.
