Editorial: Argentina: Imperialist Rivalry Means Workers’ Misery

Editorial: Argentina: Imperialist Rivalry Means Workers’ Misery

Author: Progressive Labor Party March 12, 2024 Duration: 48:30

A reading and discussion of a recent editorial in Challenge.

In late January, in another sign of the international crisis of capitalism, masses of workers handed U.S.-friendly Argentinian President Javier Milei a humiliating defeat. More than 1.5 million workers joined a national strike against Milei’s “omnibus” austerity reform bill, a vicious attack on the working class. After four days of militant fightback in the streets, Milei’s administration was forced to withdraw the bill (Truthout, 2/7).

As Argentina continues to whiplash between rightwing and fake-left misleaders, the third largest economy in Latin America is a vivid illustration of how voting and reforms will never bring workers the world we need. Only a revolutionary mass communist party—Progressive Labor Party—will finally put an end to the terrors of capitalism.
