Javier Milei | Argentina's president

  • We aren't above the ones we represent. In financial terms: 'The derivative is NEVER worth more than the underlying asset.' The derivative exists because the underlying asset exists. We exist as representatives of the People because the People exist. It is madness, it is DELUSIONAL to think that a representative of the People is above the people themselves. It is a delusion in which the political caste lives!
  • Socialism is a violent, murderous & impoverishing phenomenon.
  • Don't get caught up in the terrible concept that where there is a need, there is a right.
  • We must stop thinking as slaves. We must think as free men.
  • I am here today to tell you that the West is in danger.
It is in danger because those who are supposed to defend the values of the West have been co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism & consequently to poverty.
  • When the state calls you a taxpayer, it's equivalent to a rapist calling his victim his girlfriend.
  • The enemy is socialism, the enemy is statism, the enemy is collectivism.
  • You don't get out of poverty by magic. You get out of poverty with capitalism, savings & hard work.
  • If you don't fight for your freedom, they will drag you into misery... Don't surrender.
  • The state does not create wealth, the state destroys it. The state can give you nothing, because it produces nothing.
  • If printing money would end poverty printing diplomas would end stupidity.
  • Businesspeople, do not be intimidated, either by the political caste or by parasites who live off the state... You're heroes... Let no one tell you that your ambition is immoral..
  • Far from being the cause of our problems, free trade capitalism as an economic system is the only instrument we have to end hunger, poverty & extreme poverty across our planet. The empirical evidence is unquestionable.
  • Socialism is a disease of the soul. [this disease] Destroys moral values & promotes envy, hatred & resentment & when they have no more places to turn to, they end up murdering people.
  • 1 of the greatest thieves in the history of mankind is the central bank.
  • ,,Those who have the power to move Argentina forward, [by] changing the future & creating wealth are the businessmen & not the politicians.
