WhiskeyWhiskers noted that the US condemning the assassination meant it was probably good, don't take them seriously.

As an aspiring young leftist 15 years ago, Hugo Chavez's Venezuela was a plucky underdog and thorn in the side of US hegemony. When I'd go on alternet or equivalent sites I'd usually see a pro-Venezuela piece, something about them funding humanitarian efforts with their oil wealth. There's a lot of people who still cling to that vision of the country as a socialist paragon.

Milei's economics are of course terrible, but a big chunk of the current inflation crisis is the government artificially boosting demand. He's going to create a lot more problems along the way as dollarization ruins a lot of domestic industries but a side effect is Argentines will be so poor that they won't be able to afford dollars, solving the problem.

The alternative is a program of capital controls and protectionism alongside domestic investment that builds up supply to match demand but if the Argentine government could pull that off a la Asian tiger style it wouldn't be argentine.
