PARA LA IZQUIERDA TODO SE REDUCE AL ESTADO
La Izquierda lleva décadas vendiendo la más mediocre de las soluciones. Que todos los problemas de la sociedad tienen una misma solución: más Estado.
Este penoso reduccionismo convierte cualquier debate en un monólogo barato y repetitivo.
Si hay pobreza, más Estado.
Si hay desempleo, más Estado.
Si hay problemas en la educación, la salud o la vivienda, más Estado
El diagnóstico varía, pero la receta siempre es la misma.
Lo curioso es que nunca plantean la posibilidad de que sea el propio Estado el que haya creado o agravado esos problemas.
La Izquierda ha convertido la política en un ejercicio de pereza intelectual. En lugar de comprender la complejidad de la realidad, reduce todos los problemas a una única receta.
No importa cuál sea el problema, la respuesta siempre está decidida de antemano.
Y cuando la intervención estatal fracasa, la conclusión tampoco cambia. Nunca admiten que la intervención haya sido un error.
Siempre afirman que faltó más presupuesto, más regulación, más funcionarios o más compromiso de la ciudadanía.
Y pues, una ideología que convierte al Estado en su única respuesta universal, deja de ser una ideología seria para convertirse en un reality show repetitivo y dogmático.
Mi conclusión es:
Izquierda = Indigencia Intelectual.
MEJORES ECONOMISTAS DE LA ESCUELA AUSTRIACA
De entre los grandes economistas de la Escuela Austriaca, Javier Milei está logrando algo que parecía reservado a las sueños de unos pocos idealistas: unir teoría y praxis a una escala sin precedentes.
Durante más de un siglo los economistas austriacos edificaron una poderosa estructura teórica, y ahora Milei está sometiendo esa estructura a a la prueba definitiva: revivir un país, que estaba prácticamente desahuciado, usando los principios austriacos.
Hoy Milei, ya ocupa un lugar privilegiado entre los grandes exponentes de la tradición austriaca, pero si su proyecto culmina con éxito y demuestra de forma duradera que las ideas de la libertad son escalables y replicables en el mundo moderno, no será exagerado afirmar que habrá alcanzado un lugar sin igual como el economista austriaco más trascendental de la historia.
"El socialismo es una religión política cuyo Dios es el Estado y cuyos sacerdotes son los burócratas... Es una filosofía del fracaso, el credo a la ignorancia y la prédica a la envidia; su virtud inherente es la distribución igualitaria de la miseria"
Winston Churchill
The plane was full of babies in cardboard boxes. Then the door exploded…
In April 1975, Saigon was falling. North Vietnamese tanks were 10 miles away. US President Gerald Ford ordered Operation Babylift to fly 3,300 Vietnamese orphans to America.
The first flight was a giant C-5A Galaxy, the world’s biggest plane. On board were 314 people: 243 babies and children, many under 1, sick and malnourished. With no cribs, nurses placed them in cardboard boxes from the base exchange and strapped the boxes to the floor with cargo nets. Each held 2–3 babies.
Twelve minutes after takeoff from Tan Son Nhut, at 23,000 feet, the rear cargo door blew off. Explosive decompression filled the plane with fog. Two flight attendants and 78 babies in the back were sucked out and died instantly.
Pilot Captain Bud Traynor wrestled the crippled plane. He could not return to Saigon—it was too dangerous. He crash-landed in a rice paddy. The plane broke into four pieces. 138 died; 176 survived, including 149 babies found alive in the wreckage, still strapped in their boxes.
The photo is from a second successful Babylift flight a day later. Those boxes are real. The nurses volunteered to fly into a war zone knowing the last plane had crashed. Many of those babies grew up in America and only 30 years later learned they had survived a crash that killed their friends.
One survivor, Aryn Lockhart, was 2 months old in a box on that flight. Today she is a mother in Ohio.
