My Two Favorite Modern Politicians, Both Hispanic Luis Fortuño & Javier Gerardo Milei, (First and Foremost, Warn The Public, Implement Austerity Measures ASAP) – December 17, 2023
For the first time in a long time, I feel a sense of excitement, a chance to actually learn something for a change. Former governor of Puerto Rico, Luis Fortuño, taught me a lesson that I can’t forget: RIP THE BAND-AID OFF IMMEDIATELY. Worry about the consequences later.
Idiot politicians like Donald Trump, who courted the Libertarian voters, opted not to rip off the band-aid, instead, propped up the stock market, demanded the Federal Reserve drop interest rates, and literally BOUGHT VOTES before being defeated by Joe Biden, the only bonus positive I have to say about Donald Trump was his leadership skills and cutting a FEW regulations.
But in practice, Donald Trump was an old-school DEMOCRAT. His modern supporters, for the most part, like his personality, but most of them are using him, whereas both Luis Fortuño & Javier Gerardo Milei ‘ve made people CURIOUS about Liberty.
It’s 2023, and the Socialists are regaining power in Puerto Rico, destroying everything they can, but it still should be noted that because of Luis Fortuño, a lot of capital went to Puerto Rico. Luis Fortuño was governor for years. 2013 was his departure date, and it was only in 2023 that the socialists in Puerto Rico began destroying the Island.
But in the process he managed to change people’s views on the role of government, which is a great thing, because like or not, selling Liberty, freedom and property rights for the common man is not easy, whereas selling SOCIALISM is a very easy sell, I’ll give you an example of socialism “don’t worry about this or that the voter, the government can handle it, just give your government unlimited power and your life will get better, we guarantee it”
As long as the socialists are good salespeople, they’re going to win; selling Liberty on the flipside is a very difficult sell because you’re not guaranteeing anything except for freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of PRIVATE property.
The other politician is promising me free stuff; my grandmother is sick, and I can’t afford health care for her; how are your freedom and liberty going to help me with my IMMEDIATE needs? That’s why Socialists win elections.
So for myself, I admire any person who can break through that appeal and get people to vote for them, it’s not as easy as you would think, because, unlike socialists, who can basically lie and say anything, because most of their supporters are looking for handouts from the government, we Anarcho-Capitalists, have to be consistent, because we know what economic liberty sounds like, so if you misrepresent us, we will know IMMEDIATELY that you’re a sell-out.
When I show a video of Donald Trump using his position of authority to warn the Federal Reserve about raising interest rates, most people don’t see the big deal, whereas an anarcho-capitalist knows Trump sold us out.
Now, it’s not Javier Milei’s job to tell other people how to run their country, so whoever Javier Milei plays nice with is not something I concern myself with, I let the free-flowing capital do the talking, cash flows to where it’s treated best, and just because Argentina voted for an Anarcho-Capitalist, doesn’t mean that proposed changes won’t be met with fierce pushback.
This pushback for me will be the most educational because human behavior can’t be predicted for the exciting period for Latin America and the world in general.
Interesting times are ahead!
