    Argentinians really do need to take a page out of France’s 1790’s journals. Lots of really effective tools that will correct the problem quickly; in particular the redistribution of stolen wealth, and the few surviving parasites at the top suddenly being on their best behaviour instead of acting like uncontrolled vampire squids.

        And also against thousands of corrupt pieces of shit who for centuries had enjoyed power and privilege over the masses.

        A small price to lay for a better standard of living in the long term.

            If theres a revolution would I not also be at potential risk of some abuse in the aftermath? So sure, its a price we all have to pay to push things forward from living under destructive systems.

              Not just abuse, it could be your life. Revolutions have a tendency to get very bloody once the distribution of power starts to take place. Often targeting former comrades who also want the reigns of power.

                Yeah I know. Im willing to take that risk because lives are already being lost today.

                But I also don’t want a system where any individual has power to seize.

                  I agree, but you phrased it as if living in extreme poverty under a septic ruler was all worth it, because after that it would all be better. E.g. that the Argentinians who live in squalor now are paying a ‘small price’.

                  With that I don’t agree

      redistribution of stolen wealth

      How are they going to get the stolen wealth back from US and Europe?
