I don't know anything about the background.
"Zionist Milei wins the Argentinian presidency pledging to dollarize the economy and break all relations with Argentina's main trading partners.".
What made people vote for this guy?
same as every fascist to date, a deep capitalist crisis and the inefficiency of liberal democracy to keep it's word.
in short, argetina took some big ass loans to imf during their military dictatorship, so they are in a permanent crises since that.

Funny enough, Nestor Kirchner did pay most of the loans. And that made the right and the Argentine elite really angry since their entire thing was not doing anything good and when people complained they would say that "Oh, it's because of the loans we took. We can't do anything besides neoliberal reforms".
Then Macri decided to take more loans, and Alberto decided to actually attempting to pay the loans when they should have told the IMF to go fuck themselfs.
thank you for the complement
Even in a financial sense isn't that just terrible for 90% of the people there.
yes..yes it is
Latin america is still very anti-communist, so if you run a campaign blaming everything on the leftists, you are going to be popular. It really do be as simple as that, milei just screams stupid incoherent shit and blames the left thats his whole thing.
There were mass murders of leftists throughtout all latin america and its a wound that it is still bleeding.
Plus Macri, the ex president owns a lot of the media literaly so it is quite easy for him to push for an agenda
Selling out your country to the american empire to own the libs.
the other option was the economic minister and they are in 140% yearly inflation and 40% poverty.
