BORDER NIGHTS - HOW TO STOP THEM? - FUSILLO live - Episode 75 (17-01-2024)

Interview with Alessandro Fusillo on Fabio Frabetti’s Border Nights entitled “HOW TO STOP THEM?” (Episode 75).

The episode was dedicated to the speech delivered by Javier Milei at the WEF, a fierce attack on the globalists gathered in Davos and an affirmation of the values and cultural tradition of libertarianism, anarcho-capitalism, and Austrian economics.
Milei starts from the observation that the West is in danger due to the adoption of collectivist ideologies by a caste of parasites bent on defending their own privileges. Collectivism, that is to say socialism in its various forms (communism, fascism, Nazism, social democracy, Keynesianism, sovereignism), invariably leads to poverty, whereas capitalism has been the engine of the most spectacular and enduring economic progress humanity has ever experienced. What Milei means by capitalism is not the modern system (by some improperly termed neoliberal) in which certain large corporations, privileged through their alliance with states (or at times owners of the states themselves and able to pull the strings of their representatives like puppets), enjoy economic rents founded on money printing and stifling regulation, to the detriment of genuine entrepreneurs—those whose profit depends on taking risks and who, by selling better goods or services at the lowest possible price, perform a social function for the benefit of all.
Milei rejects the accusation of selfishness levelled at the capitalist entrepreneur and the claim of moral superiority of the collectivist system. So-called social justice is unjust and violent because it is funded through fiscal extortion. The higher the taxation, the lesser the freedom and prosperity.
Conversely, the process of continual discovery of which the market consists is morally superior to collectivism because interactions occur voluntarily and are founded upon the non-aggression principle. If exchanges occur on a voluntary basis, there is no sense in speaking of market failure. Failure occurs only when exchange is distorted by coercion, which is always attributable to states which, as monopolists of violence, are the only ones capable of using coercion systematically and on a large scale. The distortion of the free market system leads to the impossibility of economic calculation and, ultimately, to poverty.
The neoclassical economists’ idea that the market needed corrections to eliminate its failures has led to the collectivism in which we find ourselves and to bureaucratic regulation that is alienating the West from its values and driving it towards poverty. Collectivists promote a war between men and women and seek to turn human beings against nature through abortionist and population control policies. These neo-Marxist ideologies destroy common sense and achieve the socialist programme by other means. Expropriation of the means of production is no longer necessary; it is sufficient to seize control of the economy through bureaucratic regulation and money printing.
Against this destruction of Western values, it is necessary to return to the values of libertarianism, that is, to a social system founded upon unrestricted respect for the life projects of others, on the protection of fundamental rights: life, liberty, and private property. The entrepreneur, as creator of prosperity and wealth, is the true hero, the benefactor of society. He has the task of rebelling against the political caste and regaining the freedom to produce and trade.
Argentina, Milei assures, will be a land where entrepreneurs will be able to rediscover the freedom that the stifling apparatus of bureaucratic rules denies them across the rest of the world.
The speech concluded, as always, with Milei’s motto: ¡Viva la libertad carajo!
