Libertarian Populist Javier Milei’s Example Should Be Followed by Right-Wing Activists Across the World

Last month, recently liberated former Fox News host Tucker Carlson interviewed an unlikely political upstart, Javier Milei of Argentina, who is on the cusp of doing what was previously believed to be impossible – winning a national election as a Libertarian Party member.
Polls show Milei up by as much as 10 points on his nearest competitor in the most recent polls. Milei’s combative cable news appearances and unwillingness to back down from confrontation has resulted in an impressive cult of personality developing around the non-traditional political figure. In a nation besieged by widespread corruption, the people believe that Milei, a mortal enemy of the central banks and political class, is the only man they can trust.
“Never embrace the ideals of socialism. Never allow yourselves to be seduced by the siren song of social justice. Don’t get caught up in that terrible concept that where there is a need there is a right,” Milei told Carlson, adding that a “cultural war” must be waged.
“Since they try to leech off others, without working, they are tireless in their pursuit. Their leitmotif in life is to live off of others. So they never give up on this mechanism to gain control of others’ wealth, money, or income. So this battle must be waged unceasingly. We cannot take a day off, because when we rest, socialism creeps in,” Milei said.
