What went wrong with Argentina?

70 years ago Argentina had a booming economy and was set to be the next global power, with a GDP per capita higher than that of France and Italy. And now they're one of the few countries that has gone from "developed" to "developing". What happened?

half of the population supports big state populist welfare state with very powerful unions, either because they are poor and they live from subsidies, or because they are college educated leftists.
And the military coups we had, that were right wing, made the country more leftist than normal, as a reaction to that. That is similar to how in Spain shortly after Franco died you had full degeneracy.

I wonder.

>booming economy
We relied on exporting meat and grains to countries torn by war and that were collapsing economically. It was never meant to last.

>with a GDP per capita higher than that of France and Italy
Until the 60's 80% of the country looked like Africa (and still does), no roads, no street lighting, households didn't have gas or electricity. Cars were a rare sight. People hunted for food.

>And now they're one of the few countries that has gone from "developed" to "developing".
We are the shithole we've always been.
Shit thread.

>leftism
I don't think so though, socialists in Argentina never did well electorally. And Peron was pretty mixed and it's not accurate to say that he was a leftist or rightist. But I do agree that populism is a big problem, not just in Argentina but all of Latin America. It seems that a lot of your politicians from both sides like to use populism to fall back on when they are inevitably caught doing something corrupt so as to avoid punishment. Is Macri any different? Hopefully you guys can start growing again.

According to this article, Argentina's problems were a long time in the making. Wealthy landowners owned most of the land and didn't care about developing, in contrast to the US where land was handed out to anyone willing to work on it, leading to them having way too much power and preventing industrialization. Is this correct?

They used to be white and now they aren't.

>half of the population supports big state populist welfare state with very powerful unions, either because they are poor and they live from subsidies, or because they are college educated leftists.
such system works fine in Scandinavia stop blaming muh leftism

>such system works fine in Scandinavia

Not for long though.

Argentina has been decaying since the early 1900's. The elite never cared about industrialization and we were quickly left behind by the rest of the civilized and technologically progressing world.

We were Amerindians, and still are.

An interesting fact is at in the late 20th century the two wealthiest cities in the world outside of Europe were Melbourne and Buenos Aires

Lies. In the late 90's Buenos Aires was already 60% slums. Search 'villas miseria'

I meant 19th century sorry

It was a few greedy dudes holding all the wealth (who eventually left the country) No part of niggertina has ever been wealthy, and that's why we are a shithole.

>and that's why we are a shithole.

Are you though? For some reason I've always had the perception of Argentina being a pretty decent country.

I blame the european immigration

Decent compared to what? Haiti? Honduras? Come on nigga.

There's never been such thing.

>Decent compared to what? Haiti? Honduras? Come on nigga.

Compared to the other nations in South America. Honestly, I always hear the most devastating stories from Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia etc., rapes and murders and crime in general, but Argentina is never mentioned.

If niggers keep breeding like rats buying a farm in Argentina is going to be as profitable as owing a gold mine. Mark my words,Argentina alredy feeds 400M people on earth and with the shit tier farmland that Africa has this number will just go up

...

Test

Colombia is no longer dangerous, we aren't in the 80s anymore

>Colombia is no longer dangerous
Lol

they had and have an anti-liberal mind, most of them still believe in 'muh national industry'

>Colombia is no longer dangerous, we aren't in the 80s anymore
>t. ELN hostage taker

Because you're not well informed.
Argentina is more dangerous than Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela put together. It's such a lost case that criminals don't even go to jail.

Ignore him. He's shitposting.

>Colombia is no longer dangerous

holy shit. What is safe for YOU a Mexican isnt the same as safety for decent people with low
cultural tolerance towards murder, rape and violence.


t. dangerous place

it's the fault of the USA always and again, they ruined everything with their operation condor.

It just became safer than Brazil tho

Why won't he respect me? Is it because I'm German?

Germans are the most bullied group on Sup Forums.

>He's shitposting.
I'm telling the truth about my country.
that german fag learns his facts though Sup Forums memes

I like penis.

And brazil is an extremely dangerous place.

CHILE is a dangerous place for the real first world.

Chile is safer than America tho

That's why he said "real first world"

Chile has a higher HDI than Portugal tho

they are brown subhumans, that's all
all those spanish/latin/brown shitskin ooga-booga foosbal '''''''''humans''''''''' like portuguese, argentinian, brazilian etc are BOUND to fail because they are not quite humans...

Exactly.

brazilians are white and EVROPEAN, portugal is suebi and therefore germanic.
But Argentina is an Amerindian brown cumbia villera and reggaeton shithole.

>What went wrong with Argentina?

The italian genes kicked in.

nah, they are niggers.

no such a thing, we are Amerindians.
We've already talked about this chileanon, and all the claims stating the contrary have been proved FALSE.

Yes, but Argentina is whiter than us.

I thought Sup Forums was banned in chinkland.

>whiter than us.
that's not saying much

another '200000 years of guerilla warfare and instability + military coups, wars with neighboring shitholes, with a side dish of OOOLE OLE FUSBOL' epic state

we are amerindians.

You have more european genes than us.

Argentina is whiter than America tho

we are amerindians
we are amerindians

Beating them in the Falklands war was the best thing we've ever done for them though.

>amerindians
why did you have to remind me those people exist oh lord
there's a gremlin in my university from panama who looks like she farms llamas somewhere in bolivia or whatever and wears those tiny hats Hahahah fucking gremlindians

...

I think you might mean "late XIX century"

>wealthiest cities

sorry, just saw this post

dumb monkey stop posting shit you have no idea about
shuu go go away

I'm just saying you are whiter than us, and that is correct. What's your problem?

We are not.
Case closed.

This is a fact, man. I'm not even trying to make fun of you guys.

amerindian gentlemen
>you're whiter
>oh no good sir you're whiter indeed
>why thank you good white sir but i am of strongest beliefs that you're whiter

Shut up.
Because you say it it doesn't make it true.
Now shut the fuck up.

We are AMERINDIANS here.

T. FARC member

I'm right and you know it.

You're whiter than us. I've never met a non-white argentinian before.

that system can't work with Amerindian-Spanish-Italian ethics. it only works if people dont abuse it.

We are Amerindians.
We are Amerindians.

>Caring about a literally discarded meme

Just think if this AMERINDIAN paradise followed the teachings of Muhammad instead of Catholicism.

Good Goyim. Keep consuming my media

Socialism applied to an uneducated population. Combined with corruption and political instability

Argentinians have a strong tendency for populism and leftism.

t. imperialist shill

much safer than other LatAm shitholes, it is.

> rapes and murders and crime in general, but Argentina is never mentioned.

keeek.

>ELN

irrelevant monkeys in the jungle that keep existing solely because of Venezuelan support (their base of operations are actually there).

t. Never lived in socialism

> Argentinians
More like Latin Americans. Brazilians, Venezuelans, Bolivians and Ecuadorians do too. And the unhealthy lefty populism is spreading rapidly into Mexico and Colombia, manly attracting the disenfranchised youth. They come up with all sort of mental gymnastics to justify their lack of knowledge or learn from others' mistakes

t. imperialist CIA shill
$0.01 has been deposited into your account

Given our history of Serfdom and Catholicism merging with marxist thought. It is not surprising we have strong leftist inclinations.

shitalian immigration

Socialism.

>And the unhealthy lefty populism is spreading rapidly into Mexico and Colombia, manly attracting the disenfranchised youth

It's because they want to feel unique and contrarian. That's why they choose to follow these political parties while they actually don't know shit about ideologies, history and politics

There's an article explaining biological Marxism. It explains how lower IQ societies are more gullible towards these ideologies. I can't find it right now tho

That doesn't make much sense since east Asia exists

>And the unhealthy lefty populism is spreading rapidly into Mexico and Colombia

lol no, Petro won't even make it to 2nd round.

That's great and all. But call me whenever they prove it.

sounds like Lynn & Vanhanen pseudoscientific shit. There aren't even actual IQ studies for most countries in the World.

>Colombia is no longer dangerous

>so many ex-paramilitary thugs that you can hire a kill for less $100 easily

reading his social media feeds is better than a fucking comedy show. You'll see the kind of people who support him. I love how the disguise their true intentions under the term "Progressivism"

I really curious as to why the U.S didn't intervene when they were going socialist during the cold war. We rekt a lot of central america because of that but never really cared about south America

there aren't even exparamilitaries in most of the country.

We have this thread every 3 days.

> I read it on Vice, therefore it must be true

Do some research in what it means to have socialism in Latin America.

It is just replacing one class of elite with another one, equally corrupt, but incompetent on top of that (because they didn't build the businesses they stole from the previous elite).

and everytime it reaches bump limit or + 100 replies
the jap was right all along, latin americans are retarded

>muh socialism
Ah yes, clearly fighting another ideological war is what will fix Latin America this time! Just vote for the magic right wing candidate that will solve everything!
The real problem is populism. Both the left and right wing in Latin America are responsible. Politicians use populism and boogeymen to avoid ever taking responsibility for their actions. For "socialists", its "muh USA". For right wingers it's "muh commies". Until you get rid of these politicians and start electing competent leadership with the country's best interest (and not wealth and power) at mind, you will continue this same cycle of corruption and poverty.

Peron wasn't a socialist.

The difference is that the Nip's endgame is literally to bait a bunch of triggered fags, while this is actually a legitimate question

but a legitimate question made everyday becomes a bait to trigger fags

>Peron wasn't a socialist.
he was nazi-fascist to the bone, but clever enough to buy the poor with some socialist-tier policies, it worked like a charm for him, not much for us

Yes. Muh socialism. But it's not just muh socialism. You're correct. Latin Americans running arms open into Populism, Socialism, or Fascism is rooted in our history of living like Serfs and Gatolicks merging Marxism with religion through liberation theology.

Is there anyone competent running in the Brazilian elections? I know that one guy was convicted of corruption but being Brazil I imagine there are 10 other populists waiting to fight each other.
