They can call themselves whatever they want this decade, they're nothing new.

In that case would you mind explaining what they are that has already been there and has only gotten a glow up?

I bet historians and economists would love to be enlightened

They are fascists. Those existed before.

It appears that we have different definitions of fascism

"A far right political ideology that is anti-democratic, ultra nationalist, and totalitarian"

Which... yeah doesnt fit at all to his so far 7 days of government

Are you really talking about the guy that denies Videla's regime crimes? A guy that is a friend of far-right leaders around the world?

He hasnt done such thing? During Presidential Debates he literally brought them up...

And someone having friends that think alike? What a crazy concept! Just like Peronism that reivindicated dictators around the world and has ties with Maduro's Venezuela and China, even selling part of the country to them

Glad they didnt win.

"You too" is not an excuse.

And I don't even know what the actual fuck is peronism. Some things look like right wing, some look like left wing, some are cult of personality, some are near anarchist, ... Maybe because I haven't understood it.

I agree, "you too" is not an excuse, but that wasn't what I was trying to imply. For clarification it's a matter of pick your poison because it doesn't matter the person nor the space they belong to, bad apples are gonna be there so wether you prefer those bad apples to come from china or united states is really the only choice you can make.

And there is a saying in Argentina that if Peronism doesnt make sense to you, it means you understood it perfectly. The deal here is that it's been the power that's dominated the country since it's inception... and look how that's going

Then the problem comes from having to chose between Turd Sandwich and Giant Douche and the solution would be to have someone that knows a little about ruling a country.

I mean for what we were discussing, there really is no solution?

And if you actually just radically changed topic... there's really not a problem? There's two pathways that if theoretically executed have pros and cons (if the candidates actually comply to their promises) and choosing is at best a conflict
