Javier Milei at the UN

“The welfare State is a lie and the idea that the State generates wealth is also a lie. The State generates nothing; the State only destroys wealth and all it does is steal it from others to distribute it among friends.” — Javier Gerardo Milei.

President Javier Milei of Argentina, speaking during the General Debate at the 79th Session of the General Assembly of the UN in September 2024, prefaced his remarks by declaring that he was an economist and not a politician.

He basically told them that the collectivist agenda that the UN was following was likely to be disastrous and that it had lost its way. The UN needs to shape up, was his message.

Nicely done, Mr President, very nicely done indeed.

I’m happy for Argentina. I hope he liberates his beloved country and that nobody has to cry for Argentina. Let’s listen to the man. (I believe that the English dubbing from the original Spanish was done by AI.)

The man is good. Who else would end his speech at the UN with a defiant “. . . long live freedom, damn it! Thank you very much”?
