what went wrong?
people often like to compare Argentina to Australia
>both largely colonised by europeans (with Australia filled English and Irish criminals and primitive natives)
>large migration waves in the 20th century that drove economic growth
>filled with natural resources
>similar GDP up to the 1930s
Now look at where Australia is compared to Argentina. How did they fuck it up so badly?

I'm genuinely interested m8
Shitty govs in the second haf of the 20th century. The last military junta nationalized the private owned debt, fucking the country really hard.
Australia wasn't filled with prisoners, you dumb fucking proxyfag. We received minor amounts of prisoners, later on, mainly as a means to help provide relief for the British colonies in North America, which was historically used as a prison colony.
If you aren't a proxy then you're violating GR2. No Australian adult can have gone through high school and spout British and American propaganda thinking it is historically accurate.
Enjoy your 30 day ban, dumb fucking kid.
you're blurring historical facts together
>How did they fuck it up so badly?
The South American way aka mix of fascism and socialism
Is it easy to get citizenship/real passport there now? Same question about Chile?
socialism
Te lo dire en español ya que me da flojera usar el inglés, el problema de argentina han sidos sus "gobiernos" en el 1900 Argentina era la sexta economia a nivel mundial y no paraban de crecer, pero la nación del populismo ataco y argentina nunca volvio a ser lo que era, tiene una cantidad de recursos y tierra para trabajar increible pero no ha sido capaz de usarla debido a que durante esos gobiernos populistas Argentina se abrio al mercado pero fueron usadas medidas mercantilistas(en vez de capitalistas y verdadero libre mercado) por lo que todos los del gobierno se conocian y la corrupción creció, con los Kirchner el problema se hizo insostenible actualmente tiene muchos problemas pero se ha estabilizado, tienen a un presidente mas o menos decente pero dimensionalmente mejor que Kirchner
>We received minor amounts of prisoners, later on, mainly as a means to help provide relief for the British colonies in North America, which was historically used as a prison colony
This is generally wrong. Australia did receive convicts that would have otherwise gone to America, but Australia was founded AFTER America declared independence. The colony of New South Wales was also intended to be a convict colony, unlike the American colonies.
The first fleet was 1/3rd convict, with a large number of the free settlers being the family of convicts, so to say that it was "later on" is factually incorrect.
Over 160,000 convicts were transported to Australia too, which is far more than a "minor amount", especially when you consider the amount of modern Australians that have convict heritage. Most of the points of difference between English and Australian culture stem from the country's convict history and discounting it is objectively retarded.
Neck yourself.
well...
Temporary residency visa

>the government, used to be elitist, aristochratic, with semi open market, with the foresight to know that Argentina's one strength was providing cheap food and wool to the industrialized nations

Religion isn't the people's opium, it's populism.
thank you for this post
thanks
I hit the character limit, but wanted to talk about some politicians that wanted to pull back from all that short term planning, but them always losing the elections to the people's wishful thinking of having the cake and eating too.
And about the dictatorships and other stuff too, can't really blame everything on Peronism
How does the election process work in argentina? do you have checks and balances like here in the US? genuinely curious
What made them do that?
Parties either select their candidates, or have to go through a primaries system like on the US. Voting is compulsory, and if you don't vote, I think you can't hold public office, or ask for a government credit, or stuff like that.
And yeah, while we're a republic, the Kirchner's governments a few years back would try to influence the other powers, one way or another. Sometimes using legal loopholes and trying to fire the government officials that wouldn't fall in line, or sometimes more shady shit.
I heard that the Nisman's assasination was reported on the US closely, for example.
Was an attorney that was going to present a big fat investigation against the then president Cristina Kirchner. He apparently """""suicided"" the day before.
They also did similar shit but with popular opinion. Buying media that talked shit about them. The distrust for politicians grew exponentially this last decade, I think.
Socialism ruined Argentina
That sucks that corruption has fucked your country. I feel that the US's system that it has set in place to prevent corruption is dissapearing and we may be in the same situation not too far from now
It depends on how healthy the government institutions are, and if they're shit, it depends on the civilian institutions, and if they're shit, it depends on how redpilled and clear head the average voter is.
However, I think it's on most people's interest to hold the current status quo, not only on the American's interest

The guy made an error prediction oil prices and so on, but essentially the US has too good of a geography and population to fail, even with mediocre governments.
>what went wrong?
Peronism
argentina is where many nazis went after the war, they had to be punished.
it is around other south americans shitholes.at least they are 80% european
>80% European
They don't look even 50% European.
socialism?
The neighboring countries of South America rarely interfere with each other. Even immigration is not large among countries, until recently at least (Venezuela)
Usually it is American interference, Russian or from some other country
