    Why Do So Few Expats Like Cristina ?

    Because the great majority of this forum are people who work for Intelligence Agency, and Cristina goes against their interests. ;)

    Election In A Nutshell

    Furthermore, Scioli, or Kirchnerismo if you will, are clearly protectionist, to an extreme, they are all for State intervention in economy, in fact, he did give the names of his future ministers, and they are all heterodox, not one neoliberal, not one free market apostol, thats how he governed...

    Election In A Nutshell

    This isnt actually true. Im not going to talk of Menems years, which were deeply market-friendly, privatizations, de-industrialization, tax ememptions for big companies, extremely friendly to the big capitals, especially financial capitals. Not only Macri is where he came from, not only Macri...

    This Is Argentina

    Never in Argentine history, the governor of Buenos Aires Province, that is, the political second charge in importance of the country, won the presidency by elections. N-E-V-E-R. Theres the case of Duhalde in 2002, but he didnt get there by elections.

    This Is Argentina

    Macri will win the runoff. My lecture is that the Ks divided the country into two opposed halves, so the vote is K or anti-K. And clearly, the Ks had only 35% and the rest 65%, including Massa, was anti K. Even Massa winked Macri in his last night speech, he said something like "the change has...

    Election In A Nutshell

    Macri is the winner on this election, clearly. But do not underestimate the Ks, not because of Scioli, not because the social plans, AUH, continuity of the model, etc, just because they are in power, they have a lot of power, media, resources of all kind, they can make and deny any "operacion...

    Peronism is very complex, but I will take Guillermo O' Donnell definition, who said Peronismo is sort of a defensive alliance between the working class and the small national business class, both pro-industry, against the agrarian & the big multinational capital acting together. (like this...

    Election In A Nutshell

    I know very well Maria Eugenia Vidal, I worked for her, she was my boss. Despite not agreeing with her in lots of issues, I would say is the most decent politician in PRO, not so biased to the right. Shes the more 'social' of Macri staff, she worked with poverty, and shes a very skilful...

    Conservative.definition.

    Wether you like it or not, peronism has an identity, an anthem, and its slogans. It does have an identity, it does have features, you can recognise a peronist government. What happened in the 90s, was that a charismatic leader as Menem used all the cosmetic and images of peronism, even his...

    Conservative.definition.

    El Queso, how could a free market friendly policy maker as Macri can be considered radical? Free market policies, here and everywhere are made by big important economic actors, by corporations, by the people who has money and do not want any tax or regulation to their investments and the way...

    What If British Win 1807 Invasion Of Buenos Aires?

    AFAIK, Argentine neutrality in WW2 obeyed to divisions within the militars. There were lots of Nazis, a lot, cause argentine army, as well as chilean for example, was in its foundation inspired in prusian army, in germanys war tradition (while the navy was inspired by Great Britain btw) But the...

    I really doubt you could see better my country than me. Not only because you re a gringo, and you just cant get something as complex and very argentine as peronismo is, just because I know my country. I worked in villas, I studied at UBA, I studied argentine history, I studied argentine society...

    lets see: 1) 100% you can never have. As I said, there are opposed interests, and you always, that is every government ever existed in earth, govern for some people and is detrimental to other. Thats the tragedy: you can never have the 100% content, you always have to damage one part of the...

    The thing is, that their supporters, the people who benefits from their policies, it seems are the majority. And this is everything concerning a democracy. Yes, minorities have rights, but I dont think the Ks did not respect minorities. In fact, one could argue than the great majority of K...

    Don't Learn From The Past? Future Repetition.

    Peronism is where, by accident, the revolutionary left fell in the 60s. Peronism was in fact far from the left, but its prohibition by the militars during 20 years, made the left believe that it was its ally. Peronism was, and still is, argentine keynesianism. And it was a great mistake from...
