The debate on Milei’s strengths and weaknesses is not analytical, it is political. Editorial of “The Red Circle”, a program on the daily left that is broadcast every Saturday from 12 to 14 by radio with you 89.9.

  • Sometimes it is healthy and even necessary to take a respite from the juncture and look at the stage from a certain distance, not only temporary (of a slightly longer period), but also overview, that is, from medium distance.

  • In a society characterized by social and political polarization it is not strange to find elements both to say that the government and the project headed by Javier Milei have certain strengths, and to affirm that it also has a frightful weakness.

  • A political thought of “sums and subtraction” of isolated data of the juncture can result in turning and turning to always stay in the same place until some catastrophe or a change in the relations of force finds it completely offset.

  • What big topics are we discussing for almost two years? Well, why Milei won and how the extreme right came to power in a country like Argentina; What strength does it have today and what perspectives it has; What degree of “fascism” has in blood and how much it advanced in constituting such a movement and, ultimately, what degree of defeat affects the popular sectors, the workers, social organizations and the opponents that face Milei, among which I include, obvious, on the left.

  • I do not want to discuss each and every one of these issues that, on the other hand, we have been discussing in the conversations and interviews of this program. What I do want to emphasize is that the different positions in the face of these issues are determined by the options, programs and, above all, the political bets of which they enunciate them.
  • For example, those who believe we are in the presence of a new sign of the irreversible times and that somehow express Milei, if you ask how the most likely should be most likely responding that with a project that gives continuity to the central aspects of the Milei project, but by other means. Then they are more Then they tell you implicitly, but you “do not see” (“do not see it,” Milei would say) that these are the priorities of society. Now, what do they see when “see her”? Do not see a little what the government wants them to see?

  • Another example: about the strengths or weaknesses of the government and even on the issue of “fascism” or the level of defeat of the popular sectors, we synthesize like this. Around these points there are genuine and real concerns (such as several of the guests or guests of this program), but there is also a diagnosis construction according to a political commitment. In general – among the obvious opponents – who tell you we are in the presence of a social transformation that strategically weakened the working class (which everything is precarious and informality); that the government had many achievements without virtually any reaction and that despite all that maintains support; or that the whole owners of the country is aligned with Milei. What do not see those who “see” this? That a strategic sector of the working class maintains a strong unionization and an important firepower (port workers and airports, oils, tankers, many industries, transport), that there is no decision to use that force is another issue, but that exists, it exists; that the government adjustment had answers (university students, retirees, claw) that they even contributed to their discredit even if they could not defeat it or that there are sectors of the business that do not have the same enthusiasm as others and what is it demonstrated?, basically in that they do not put a twine, they do not invest. They get everywhere thanks to the generous financial bicycles and do not put in any.

  • In general, those who emphasize all the time in these adversities propose some of the options of the “minor evil”: “center” candidates who can play a little milesty music; broad and diverse fronts (as was the last experience of the FDT) that are exactly those that generate the conditions for the rights or projects that propose a negotiated adjustment, etc.

  • Eye, it is a matter of emphasis, because nobody denies the duration of the working class; The unpublished advance of Milei in terms of fiscal adjustment or the initial unit that achieved all the owners of the country, but the scenario is completed with all the other elements: the contradictions, the resistance and the potentialities that still exist. Those who see the first and “do not see” the second, in general, enlarge the adversary to reduce their own objectives and aspirations.

  • Many times these coincide with a more general position on history or on social and political dynamics that is to surrender unconditionally in the face of consummate fact, they are fetishist of the consummate fact: he who wins is right and the one who loses is wrong. If Milei won “something good should have” and no, maybe Milei won because much bad happened so far.

  • They look at reality acritically, they do not know how to follow the advice of the German Walter Benjamin that recommended “passing the brush to counterbalance” to prepare the conditions for when the thing changes; They don’t know or never want to go against the current.

  • If in the twentieth century it had a lot of relevance on certain lefts the idea that history advanced inexorably towards the revolution or socialism or whatever (a teleological conception of progress) and therefore almost that it was only sitting to wait; Now it seems that he turned fatally to the right (a teleological conception of the reaction) in which there is no other than to describe how ugly the reality is.

  • And no, so much before and now, the story is open. Milei’s triumph was not “inscribed” in the natural dynamics of events, was the result of political disputes, capitulations, defctions and many other factors. Did not make a time or, at least He still had no time And it is difficult for him to do it. The crisis of an era more than the solution is expression.
  • And both today and yesterday: all diagnosis is political.
  • POLICY / RIGHT / FISCAL ADJUSTMENT / JAVIER MILEI
