Javier Milei presents his vision on capitalism and Marxism to students in Buenos Aires
The President of Argentina, Javier Milei, led an extensive meeting with high school students in Buenos Aires, where he defended the capitalist model as the primary path to achieving economic prosperity. During the talk, which lasted for nearly 45 minutes, the president linked financial success with moral and religious principles.
Capitalism and Judeo-Christian values
Before students between 15 and 17 years old, Milei argued that capitalism is not only a market tool, but a system that finds its foundation in the Ten Commandments and the Judeo-Christian tradition. According to the president, material abundance is a direct consequence of respecting a moral order, moving away from the idea of recovering a lost paradise and focusing on the construction of a prosperous society through clear ethical norms.
The leader maintains that there is a direct connection between spiritual stability and material prosperity, basing his thought on a combination of Greek philosophy, Roman law, and stoicism.
Harsh criticism of Marxism
At one of the most critical points of his speech, Milei lashed out against Marxism, describing it as a program opposed to the values he defends. The president went as far as to label this current as a negative vision that, in his view, has historically led to poverty and social decay. Furthermore, he directly linked Karl Marx to interpretations he considers contrary to a divine order.
The basis of his political proposal
The head of State took the opportunity to delve into the concepts that make up his most recent literary work, titled Morality as State Policy. In this book, Milei sets out his vision of the economic system, which he defines as a key machine for progress.
- The Milei administration, which began at the end of 2023, maintains a focus centered on the reduction of public spending and fiscal adjustment.
- The president has been a staunch critic of indoctrination in the classroom, promoting regulations that seek to protect the freedom of conscience of students.
- Looking ahead to the 2027 elections, the president reaffirms his stance against socialism and other currents that, according to his statements, threaten his model for the country.
This event is part of the educational policies promoted by his administration, which seek to limit the influence of partisan politics in schools, reinforcing the right of minors to an education free from ideological bias.
