Your comments regarding Argentina are not only wrong - they are exactly the opposite of the truth. At the beginning of the 20th century, when Argentina had free markets and was an "evil" capitalist nation, it was one of the ten wealthiest nations in the world. Under the left-wing dictatorships that began with the Perons, the economy collapsed. It has never fully recovered. The attempts to re-introduce some free market policies have been partly successful, but they have not reversed the decline.

If you are going to promote an anti-capitalist agenda and defend leftist dictators, you have to at least attempt to use facts and data to support your views.

Argentina was the poster child of the IMF and WB. 13 years latter it was bankrupt to the bone and in a chaotic situation never seen before, Argentina had never seen such despair and agony. I remember how people used to cook and fry dogs and cats because they could not afford a piece of bread for their children, suicide rates went up by 200%....google Argentina and read the history instead of Ronald Reagan-Margaret T. propaganda
