Who are you even arguing against here? I've never seen anyone except some few "distributists" argue that race doesn't matter when it comes to economic policy. If anything, Argentina is just another exhibit that proves that colorblind policies don't work in multiracial societies. No right wing "economic populist" argues for colorblindness lmao.
What a very thoughtful analysis you made. As a young Argentine from the Capital i can say this, on the inmigration issue, things are snail slow changing, very far from current ICE deportation.
On economic front there's improvement but this is the year in which is needed to pass massive reforms on all front's so that folks from middle income and lower can say this is the way. In the next 10 Months the Milei admin promise to send 10 reform per month from each of he's 10 ministries to change the country course. At the end of the year i recomend you take a look to see what's the result.
On the political front the matters intra party are rough since the admin is being filled by old and corrupt politician and are insolating from all places of power or transcendence to the young and OG supporters of Milei. These front are the FDC (Las Fuerzas del Cielo) The Forces of Heaven (n reference of a famous quote of Milei on the first Book of the Maccabees 3:19) Under Santiago Caputo (Milei close advisor) and other young supporter and influencers, and the LLA oficial party (La Libertad Avanza) under control of Milei Sister Karina Milei, Martin and Lule Menem and the political head Sebastian Pareja. Things are rough on that front.
And in the congress the matters as of now are progressing well, it seem theres enough gobernors, senator's and deputies in favor of the reform package of laws.
I wish this year turns out to be great but is a wait, help in whaever way i can and hope for the best.
Sorry for the long message, and Greeting from Argentina BAP, it's a pleasure to discover your account.
It is rare to see a serious analysis of Argentina from a U.S. perspective. Most American commentary on the country is limited, excessively Anglocentric, and shows little real knowledge of Argentine history. This is the first piece I have come across that genuinely understands why today’s American conservatives are, in essential respects, Peronists.
The tariff and industrial policies now being proposed in the United States simply copy the model that Argentina perfected—and that systematically destroyed a once-prosperous country. The results are plain to see. More than two million Argentines have already left. These are disproportionately the best-educated, highest-human-capital people, who will enrich other societies instead. Argentina is already in extinction mode. This may be one of the last opportunities not merely to salvage an economy, but to reverse the spiritual direction of the country.
Unfortunately, a large part of its middle class has already been infected by the same moralistic virus that leads people to renounce their own culture while exalting something poorer and less capable. In practical terms, the older Argentina ended around 1985, with the close of the military dictatorship. What that regime ultimately did was ratify the national-populist, socialist path as the only conceivable exit—with the consequences we have now observed for nearly forty years.
When the Roman Empire declined, the change was not sudden or dramatic from one day to the next. Things simply deteriorated gradually. That is Argentina. It has been the story for forty years. And it is the slow, almost imperceptible march toward destruction that much of the West still refuses to recognize.
Every Argentine women I talked to said they voted for him because they want to kill communists.

Millei has been good if like me you had very low expectations, always hope for the best and expect the worst and you’ll never be disappointed in life
chain-saws never link…

About halfway through my brain siezed.
