The general strike has long been an important political instrument of the opposition in Argentina. Since 1983, it’s been used by the unions 42 times.
On a sidenote, this is pretty damning for anyone negating the need of vanguard party. They organised 42 general strikes in 41 years, a supposed ultimate weapon of the working class - and are still in this bog. Sure, they did prevented a lot of worse things coming, but clearly this is still at best the stalemate in class war.
What a load of crap this whole piece is. It's written by people who clearly have never set a foot in Argentine soil and have never worked here. If they where Argentine I would be sure they where being paid by the now opposition for writing this.
What a load of crap this whole comment is. It's written by a person who clearly has never studied what Javier Milei's extreme policies in Argentina are doing to the working class there. If they where Argentine I'm sure they would be paid by the now US and NATO supporters of Milei's government for posting this.
I could tell you that I am Argentine, that most of my life has been lived under peronist governments and the few times we had an ellected non peronist government it was overthrown by the peronist who claim to be the defenders of democracy but then I saw you post from hexbear and I know you just won't listen to reason.
Recent Argentine history is characterized by Perónism, a construct that is difficult to grasp, especially for non-Argentines, and one that isn’t easily defined in terms of political left and right. This political and social movement, which Peron called the “third way,”
Democracy failed reliably in Argentina. They need less democracy if anything. If I was an enemy of Argentina, I would want them to have more democracy, so they can remain a non-competitor.
