Are there any libertarians living in Argentina? I will be moving there in a few months and I would like to find some like-minded people!

Ross, The Argentines are used to big government, and accept a lot of rules and regulations that would cause outrage in the United States. The difference is that nobody pays much attention to those rules and regulations, and life goes on as before, therefore they enjoy liberty in spite of the government, not because of government.
 
You'll probably run into more Eskimos in Buenos Aires, than Libertarians.If there are any, they're probably ''in the closet''. I´ve been searching for Conservatives to no avail. Everyone is so liberal and p.c., that often, when with expats, I think that I'm still in San Francisco.
 
One of the reasons I don't like to call myself a Libertarian is that too many of them can't stand up straight.

I've been a "radical for capitalism" since I was in college (1968-1973).

In those days, however, most "radicals" advocated the burning of ROTC buildings and occupying others.

I attended a rally on the ISU campus the night after the Kent State shootings in 1970 (I was 19 at the time). One (SDS) speaker called for the burning of the local business district where I had just opened my first retail store.

Fortunately, cooler "heads" prevailed.

But the next month on campus was very dramatic, including the National Guard surrounding the flagpole on the quad to prevent local "construction workers" from raising the flag which had been lowered to half mast by order of the president of the university...and the Illinois Republican Caucus grilling the university president for his actions (resulting in his resignation)...aswell as the son of one of those Illinois lawmakers fleeing the campus in fear for his life.
 
I'm a leftist, pro-free education, pro-welfare, pro-free healthcare, yet I'm an entrepreneur (had my 1st business at 15). It does go well together. Look at Norway, Canada, New Zealand, Australia. They are socialist countries in many ways, yet got strong economies. Mind you, NZ has more liberal economy than the US does. Also, while the world cries in recession, their economies are booming

As long as I don't make trouble, I kindly ask the gov't either to fuck off or simply don't mess with my affairs. Personal and business alike
