On Argentina's historic election.
Historian of populism and anti-populism Ernesto Seman tells us what is happening in Argentina amidst severe economic crisis. The radical libertarian madman Javier Milei failed to win, and a second-round runoff will be needed, but politics has changed irreparably. The establishment right has been outflanked, while the left-populism of 'Kirchnerismo' is in crisis.
We discuss:
- What is 'Peronism' and how does it occupy so much political space?
- How does Milei appeal to informal workers using market ideology?
- What is distinct about Latin American populism?
- How is anti-populism used to denigrate the masses?
- What is the role of nostalgia for the golden age in Argentina?
