Argentine President Javier Milei keeps putting socialist internationalists on the defensive, and it’s a glorious thing to see.
Since he took office in Dec. 2023, Milei has given the world — and the United States in particular — a bracing lesson in the art of the possible. The left did its best for years to hoodwink the world into accepting the idea that the steady expansion of government was inevitable and irreversible.
In just over a year in office, Milei has cheerfully exploded that notion, drastically reducing government bloat and restoring some semblance of economic stability to Argentina, which for many years has been a far-left basket case.
Milei has given Trump supporters a ready example to point to whenever leftists claim that the federal government is just too big to be stripped of its waste and stopped from expanding further. And at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos this week, he continues to throw the lies of the leftist elites right back in their faces.
