“The case of Argentina is an empirical demonstration that — no matter how rich you may be, or how much you may have in terms of natural resources… or how many bars of gold you may have in the central bank — if measures are adopted that hinder the free function of markets, free competition, free price systems, if you hinder trade, if you attack private property, the only possible fate is poverty.”

Milei concluded his speech by praising business leaders as “heroes” who should not be afraid of the “political caste” and “the parasites that live off the state”.

“The state is not the solution. The state is the problem,” he said, ending his speech with his battle cry, “long live freedom, damn it!”

Here is a condensed version. Language warning. Not work-friendly. Not socialism-friendly. Not WEF-friendly.

But there is a specter haunting the Davos crowd.

WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab recently warned of “an anti-system which is called libertarianism, which means to tear down everything which creates some kind of influence of government into private lives.”

But it is not libertarians’ fault that Schwab’s standard for “some kind of influence of government” spurred cynics to claim WEF stands for World Enslavement Forum.

The most effective rebuttal at Davos of its sirens of subjugation came from the newly elected president of Argentina.
