LWDT 7: The Earth and Heavens Tremble.

[Torrocca]

Not only is the Argentine Peso collapsing, so is the Argentine economy.
Second-largest economic crash in any country since 1950, with the S&P Merval Index dropping a heart-stopping 48% in a day.
And it's not even the general election yet. Miiiiight want to rethink the Peronists on this one, Argentina, lest you default a third time in twenty years.

You know what they say, third time's the charm.

Imagine blaming the Socialists because of the fact that a bunch of Capitalists investors ran away from a country's stock market because their guy didn't win votes.

It's fascinating to see that the mere idea of electing a socialist is enough to tank an economy.

Not even that. The prospect of electing a Peronist is tanking the economy. The election is a few months out still.

Well, it is a frightening prospect. Socialists have a well-earned reputation for tanking economies.

It's definitely the fault of the socialists that these people are snivelling cowards, no doubt.

Of course. Let them run and be cowards, then; Socialism doesn't need the excesses of a Capitalist economy to ensure the wellbeing of the people.

You do however need money, and it looks like Argentina's government will be very lacking in that, if the Peronists get the reigns again.

Ah, yes. The age-old position of socialists when their ideology is forced to face reality: "We don't need money or a prosperous economy to ensure the wellbeing of our people."

Um, yes, sweetie. You actually do.

Meh. We really shouldn't give a shit about that so long as the Peronists make good and organize the greater sum of Argentina into a movement that's ultimately beneficial to Argentinan society.

Unwarranted condescension aside, it would require transference to a different economic model, which doesn't focus on pleasing shareholders and generating profit.

In other words it requires something that will never happen?

Do you have anything other than unconstructive bile to throw around?

It's not unconstructive to remind you of the reality of the situation. I'm no expert but I'm sure Argentina isn't going to be trying to shift it's entire economic system anytime soon, so you're still going to have to deal with the reality of needing money and a prosperous economy to help people.

Uncritically defending the current status quo with little more than snide mockery of any alternatives for society is easier than entertaining the increasingly strong possibility of leftism going mainstream, like it's already becoming with the newer generations.

So no, you don't. Only to state what you consider to be obvious. It's not the fault of the socialists those people are a hamper full of wet blankets, hell they only ran because their guy didn't get the ratings they wanted, it's just a flat out temper tantrum to the detriment of the country.

Yes, yes. It's never the fault of socialists that they have to deal with basic economic realities.

That other people suddenly require a change of underwear at the mere mention? Not our problem.

That people will take their money elsewhere if you elect morons who will wreck your economy.

And replace it with something that suits the people rather than profit. But yes tell me how numbers on a bank account are more important.

Social Democracy might become an viable alternative in murican politics.

Anarcho-Communism or whatever is rather unlikely however. AOC and Bernie are smart enough to avoid cringe choices that fuckup the economy.

And how are you (or him) going to replace it? What's your plan for completely restructuring an entire economy from the ground up?

Yes, yes. It's never the fault of socialists that they have to deal with basic economic realities.

It's definitely hilarious that the Peronists are the ones receiving the blame for a bunch of Capitalist investors acting like screaming manbabies because their guy didn't get enough votes from the Argentinian public. Kinda like blaming an abuse victim after they get the shit beaten out of them by their abuser because they did something to make their abuser angry.

Thank goodness I wasn't screaming about "ANARCHO-COMMUNISM NOW" in that post, then, amirite?

It looks to me that the US would sooner collapse than embrace SocDem
