Tucker Carlson has done another video that has gone viral, featuring Javier Milei, who if the coming Argentine election is not too corrupt, could become president. He is an old school libertarian, meaning freedom is the foremost value and the state needs to be pruned back. He is a strong opponent of abortion, something to be covered in another post. He intends to start cutting down the government beginning with the Central Bank and work from there. Here are some of his thoughts on the fundamental values: “Because as a liberal – well, libertarian liberal because in English liberal is different – I’ll say ‘libertarian,’ we believe that liberalism is the unrestricted respect for the project of life [pursuit of happiness] of others, based on the non-aggression principle, and in defense of the right to life, liberty, and property,” Milei said. “Therefore, clinging to these ideas of liberty, basically, one of the fundamental ideas is to defend the right to life. So philosophically I am in defense of the right to life. Then there is a justification from the point of view of science, of natural science, which is the fact that life begins in the moment of fertilization, and in that moment a new being, in evolution, is generated, with a different DNA.”
He will certainly be an added virtue to the opposition to globalism, as he will, on these principles oppose the Worldly Health Organization pandemic treaty, although there is nothing on this in English I could find, but there are likely speeches in Spanish.
