I don't know how Prof. Dutton would come up with a comparison of Melei with Trump. He left out that Melei is an economist and author of several books on economics.

Isn't the problem with socialism an economics problem when you run out of other people's money? Pro. Dutton hit on that but may have missed the mark on Melei. On abortion, Republicans in the US have melted down their party but you can't assume the same in Argentina.

On the subject of madmen, I wonder if Prof. Dutton saw Biden's speech last year with the Nazi imagery and blood-red background, so Third Reich. Biden flanked by two Marines raised his fists and literally channeled Hitler railing that the biggest threat to America was white supremacy, sending the message that Democrats were ready to use the power of the state against any dissent. It was disgusting and funny at the same time.

I think he's generally a turn for the better for Argentina. However, you lose me at free migration à la libertarianism. Free migration, if Argentina is able to turn the bad situation around, will just put them back to square one with a socialist government. Some of the migrants will probably be high skilled, but the majority low-skilled left-wing voters.
