Porcupine Report #82: “Will Javier Millei Prevail?” with Skot Sheller
Manage episode 508311172 series 3287194
Eric welcomes back Free Stater Skot Sheller, known in the liberty movement for his deep knowledge of Argentina and President Javier Milei. Skot breaks down Milei’s ambitious reforms—slashing inflation, cutting government spending, and pushing back against decades of Peronist control—while also highlighting the resistance he faces in a weak legislature and hostile media. They compare Argentina’s top-down experiment with Milei to New Hampshire’s bottom-up liberty movement, where grassroots activists drive change through the legislature. Skot also shares why young Argentinians overwhelmingly back Milei and how cultural battles are just as important as political ones. The conversation closes with cautious optimism, noting upcoming midterm elections in Argentina could determine whether Milei’s libertarian revolution continues or stalls.
