Argentina General Discussion: Shock Therapy

[Reactionary Libertarian]

What exactly are the powers of the presidency in Argentina? My understanding is that a lot of Latin American countries have more powerful presidencies that allow for law by decree and bypassing Congress to some extent. Because from a US perspective, a lot of what he’s proposing sounds impossible without a majority in Congress.

Yes, the president in Argentina is very much the top dog. More so than in the US even.

Right, but what does that mean? Can he eliminate agencies without Congressional approval? Can he do dollarization by decree? What are his actual powers?

Chances of this going through?

If more people truly knew their nation origins, besides their own too, they would realize we’re all closer as nations to the Global South, not just on an economic level. And that includes Argentina/Uruguay as well.

What percentage of non-European DNA should I have to start identifying myself as a globalsoutherner instead of a westerner?

And regardless of individual DNA, you were brought up in a culture where your nation customs were shaped and influenced BECAUSE of this diversified influence.

Language? Western.
Religion? Western, including an atheist/agnostic position.
System of Government? Western.
Legal system? Western.
Art, philosophy, literature? Western.
Values concerning gender or sexuality? Western.
Dress code? Western.
Sense of humor? Western.
Cuisine? 99% Western (exception: mate).
Folk music? Western, with some African elements in Montevideo.
Social behavior/expectations? Exactly the same you will find in Mediterranean Europe.

Etc.

And the same could be said about 75% or 80% of Latin American population.

But much less economic liberalism than the West. Also why they are poorer.
