The topic will be how socialism captured Argentina 100 years ago and convinced the people that with a need came a right.
Ridding this socialist mindset involved introducing the people to the concepts of private property and the economic prosperity it generates.
Over the years, Argentina's leftist movement has been aided by the fake news of a press corps who are nothing but the robots of its socialist dictators.

BOB LINN Marx meets Milei | | This Wednesday, by video, we will hear Tucker Carlson detail the reversal of Argentina’s once wealthy and prosperous nation to third-world status. We will then see his interview with Argentina’s new President, Javier Milei.
Leftist (Marxist) ideology brought poverty to this once prosperous nation. The bold anti-leftist policies of the out-spoken Javier Milei are restoring life to Argentina. | | Last week, our foundation’s Board Chairman, Wade Burleson, introduced me to the anti-leftist works of Erik von Kuennelt-Leddihn. His last name is pronounced “coon’ et-lead ‘n.”
He is a Catholic academic who addressed with profound insight the destructive nature of the political left.
For simplicity, I’ll refer to him as “Leddihn.” He assaults the evils of leftism skill and finesse in his 1974 book, Leftism.
(If purchasing this book, don't confuse it with his 1990 book, Leftism Revisited. All his books are brilliant, however.) |  | | He speaks of the threat to the modern world which emanates from leftist ideology. Something he calls the multiheaded enemy of mankind.
Among the tools of the left, Leddihn notes that envy is one of its most destructive. It is the classic foundation of the Marxist assault on societies.
Envy in politics is the idea that differences must be leveled.
The results of our differences in aptitudes, abilities, skills, motivations, perspectives, and achievements need to be leveled so that we all receive the same outcomes. |  | | Envy says that if someone other than me possesses something I admire, it was somehow stolen from me (and should be returned).
As Herbert Schlossberg wrote in his 1990 magnum opus, Idols for Destruction:
The dual effort to raise the lower classes and debase the higher has long been called “leveling.” In recent years, it has grown into the movement with the awkward name of equalitarianism (often used in the French form, egalitarianism). Equality of opportunity, however, guarantees inequity of result! People are unequal in motivation, ability, and will. Their values are so varied that they direct their energies toward different goals. |  | | As Leddihn stated:
Modern times are more favorable to a herd mentality than to an enthusiasm for diversity. All modern trends point to the specter of a terrifying, bigger, and more pitiless conformity.
This egalitarian ideology is achieved only by the force of a tyrannical government. For entrenched tyrannies, education has been the tool of force. Lenin, Hitler, and Mao all recognized the need for the children to be educated by government schools and not by their parents. |  | | Leddihn states:
Egalitarianism cannot make much progress without the use of force: Perfect equality, naturally, is only possible in total slavery.

PROCRUSTES IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY IS A FORERUNNER OF MODERN TYRANNY
Procrustes is a character in Greek mythology. He had a stronghold on Mount Korydallos. There he had a bed, in which he invited every passer-by to spend the night.
If the guest proved too tall, Procrustes would amputate the excess length. If the guest was too short, Procrustes would stretch them until they died.
Nobody ever naturally fit the bed exactly, but Procrustes demanded that all fit his pre-determined mold.
The evil Procrustes demanded sameness. He required all to fit his mold. He forced them to fit. All died.
Procrustes continued his reign of terror until he was captured by Theseus. Traveling to Athens along the sacred way, Theseus returned the favor and "fitted" Procrustes to his own bed, ending the reign of terror. |  | | Procrustes is the forerunner of modern tyranny.
Force destroys Freedom.
In his book, The Crisis of Modernity, Italian philosopher Augusto Del Noce (pronounced "NO-ch-ay") notes that the editor of the French Magazine, Esprit, conceded the fatal results of Marxism when he stated:
It is now unquestionable that Communists have become accomplices and victims of an empire that destroys spiritual freedom and puts nations in chains. | | On June 24, 1826, Thomas Jefferson, almost twenty years after leaving office, composed the last letter he would ever write. His health was failing.
He wrote the letter in response to an invitation from Roger C. Weightman to speak in Washington, D.C. The nation was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Jefferson was its primary author and one of 56 signers. |  | | The letter expresses his regrets that he will not have one last opportunity to see the few signers (he calls them “worthies”) who remain alive. Men who risked their lives, fortunes, and reputations to lay the political foundations of freedom.
With extraordinary grace, he declined to speak, but wrote, among other things, these words which should inspire us today:
I should, indeed, with peculiar delight, have met and exchanged there, congratulations personally with the small band, the remnant of a host of worthies, who joined with us on that day, in the bold and doubtful election we were about to make, for our country, between submission, or the sword; and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory fact that our fellow citizens, after half a century of experience and prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made. May it be to the world what I believe it will be . . . the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government . . . All eyes are opened . . . the mass of mankind has not been born, with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them . . . These are grounds of hope for others.
Argentina is headed in Jefferson’s direction!
Among the many statements Argentina’s new president makes is his unwavering perception that leftism can only bankrupt a people. President Milei states that leftism does not “fix” poverty. Leftism insures poverty!
