I fully agree that Milei is at best dangerous to Argentina, but the country's economy has been kinda fucked up for a while. Inflation has been mad and growth has been generally negative for at least a decade

    Yes, but neoliberal shock therapy is not gonna make it better. If you look at history of neoliberalism, it made everything worse every single time.

    The problem is that the election was between Captain Anachrocapitalism and a continuation of Peronist policies which included a lot of government intervention.

    He was won because he ran against everything the government represented.

    Maybe organizing workers into political representation. I know it's not easy, but desperate voting for a fucking ancap just to get a change from bad to much worse is not it, unless someone is accelerationist.
