Below are the most relevant ideas from his speech:
“The West is in danger.”
“We are here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world but, on the contrary, they are their cause. Believe me, there is no one better than us Argentines to bear witness to these two issues.”
“Free enterprise capitalism is not only the only possible system to end world poverty, it is the only morally desirable system to achieve it.”
“Can anyone say that they pay them [taxes] voluntarily? The State is financed through coercion and, the greater the burden, the greater the coercion and the less freedom.”
“The conclusion is obvious: far from being the cause of our problems, free enterprise capitalism as an economic system is the only tool we have to end hunger, poverty and homelessness throughout the planet.”
“How can it be that the academy demonizes an economic system that has lifted the world's population out of poverty, which is fair and morally superior? Thanks to capitalism the world is at its best. There has never been a time of greater prosperity. The world is freer, richer, more peaceful and more prosperous .”
“It should never be forgotten that socialism is an impoverishing phenomenon that failed in all countries and also murdered more than 100 million human beings.”
“ Neoclassical economists, get out of the box. When the model fails, you don't have to get angry with reality, you have to change the model.”
“Faced with the theoretical demonstration that State intervention is harmful, the solution that collectivists will propose is not greater freedom, but rather greater regulation until we are poorer and everything depends on a bureaucrat sitting in a luxury office.”
“The only thing that became the agenda of radical feminism is greater intervention by the State to hinder economic growth, giving work to bureaucrats who did not contribute anything to society, whether in the form of the Ministry of Women or international organizations dedicated to promoting this agenda.”
“Another of the conflicts that socialists raise is that of man against nature . They maintain that human beings damage the planet and that it must be protected at all costs, even going so far as to advocate for population control mechanisms or the bloody agenda of abortion.”
“Whether they call themselves communists, socialists, social democrats, Christian democrats, neo-Keynesians, progressives, populists, nationalists or globalists, in essence there are no substantive differences: they all maintain that the State must direct all aspects of the lives of individuals” .
“The Argentine case is the empirical demonstration that if measures are adopted that hinder the free functioning of markets, free competition, free price systems, trade, if private freedom is attacked, the only possible fate is poverty".
“Since we decided to abandon the model of freedom that had made us rich, we have been trapped in a downward spiral where we are poorer every day. A country that at the beginning of the 20th century was the richest country in the world today has about 50% of the population below poverty and 10% indigent, when it produces food for 400 million human beings.”
“ Businessmen: do not be intimidated ; Do not surrender to a political class that only wants to remain in power. You are social benefactors. You are heroes. “You are the creators of the most extraordinary period of prosperity we have ever experienced.”
“Free enterprise capitalism is not only the only possible system to end world poverty, it is the only morally desirable system to achieve it.”
“Can anyone say that they pay them [taxes] voluntarily? The State is financed through coercion and, the greater the burden, the greater the coercion and the less freedom.”
“Do not give in to the advance of the State. The State is not the solution, the State is the problem itself.”
“You are the true protagonists of this story and know that from today you have Argentina as an unconditional ally.”
