The radical anarcho-capitalist libertarian is indicating that he is not opposed to using state force as a way to shape society understanding, like former Chilean President Augusto Pinochet before him, that freedom cannot thrive with leftist subversives on the loose.
Milei has already sent police to clear out a homeless encampment in the nation’s capital of Buenos Aires:

In addition, Milei is taking aim at the bureaucracy in his country, immediately slashing the number of national government agencies from 18 to 9 by executive order. Milei has announced a bold plan to cut the size and scope of government in Argentina:
Javier Milei's minister of economy just announced an "emergency package" of measures to completely balance the budget in 2024 equivalent to over 5% of GDP.
This would be equivalent to a $1.4 trillion austerity package in a single year in the U.S. economy.
The measures include:…

Big League Politics has reported on Milei’s shocking emergence as the Trump-like figure leading his nation back to glory after terrible liberal leadership:
“Javier Milei, Argentina’s recently-elected president, could be meeting up with former President Donald Trump in the near future.
Trump congratulated Milei for his victory on Truth Social on November 19, 2023.
“Congratulations to Javier Milei on a great race for President of Argentina,” Trump stated on Truth Social
“The whole world was watching! I am very proud of you. You will turn your Country around and truly Make Argentina Great Again!”, the former president added.
Trump subsequently phoned Milei, where he reportedly told the Argentine president that his victory had a global impact”. He also hinted at the two potentially meeting up if Trump passes through Buenos Aires, Milei’s office noted. So far, a date for the proposed visit has not been revealed, but it is likely that Trump has plans of attending Milei’s inauguration on December 10.
According to Argentine journalist Luis Majul, Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, was the principal individual who helped bring the contact between Milei and Trump into fruition.
Milei and Trump share an anti-establishment energy that captivated the masses in their respective countries. However, in the former’s case, he learned real quick that there are many snakes in the grass that try to slither their way into presidential administrations with the sole purpose of undermining them.
Milei should definitely study the Trump experience with this dynamic so as to avoid a similar fate to the one that Trump initially faced during his first term.”
Milei is already fulfilling his promise. The election of Milei as well as recent election results in the Netherlands indicates that the public is hungry for populist right-wing leaders. This bodes well for Trump’s rise in 2024.
