Last week we dove into the legend of "Argentina's First Lady" Eva Perón. We started from the outside in; What is it that people say about her today? What does her foundation and museum say about her? What does she say about herself in her autobiography? We found a LOT of mythology in the mix - she was obviously an incredible figurehead that helped transform Argentina and the lives of her descamisados (the shirtless ones). But the legend felt heavy with a rose colored tint and a LOT of swirling rumors portraying a darker side of the story so in Part 2 Sara attempts to thread the needle and discover the heart of the story. Who was Evita? Why do we see so much conflict and such disparate versions of her story? How can a woman both be so adored by the public that she draws incredible crowds and makes the cover of Time Magazine, but also has to end her European tour early because the crowd threw tomatoes at her?! Sara brings us a more complete version of the story - the dramatic history that led up to Evita & Juan Perón's rise, what Peronism stands for and accomplished for the Argentine people, and why Peronism and the the Peróns were targeted to heavily by the media and the oligarchy of their time. It's a really interesting journey - listen now to hear this incredible story. — A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules.

Maria Eva Duarte Perón grew up in poverty with her mother after the death of her father. Falling in love with performance, she became a radio star, model and then moderately successful actress. An activist from early on - she took on leadership roles with the actor unions and became politically active - eventually meeting Juan Perón at an event and almost never leaving his side. As Juan's popularity with the people grew, the people in charge grew distressed, eventually arresting him. But after large protests he was released and was soon thereafter elected President of Argentina, with Evita as his side as First Lady. The work they did in Argentina to help the poor and protect the people is truly astonishing. The influence of the Perón Foundation and Peronism are still felt strongly in Argentina today and Evita is widely lauded as the country's most influential woman of all time - establishing women's rights including the right to vote, and helping pull countless people out of abject poverty through social services. But as we know on this podcast, the story isn't always so simple. In Part 1 of this 2-Part Broad, Sara brings you the Evita that you see in the museums and on the streets of Buenos Aires, including some of the controversy that still thrives on the lips of the people. Then next week we'll dive deeper into the rumors and the history to see if we can uncover some of the deeper truths of her story. — A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, welcome Reaxionario, a Twitter personality deeply immersed in Argentine politics and geopolitics. We discuss Argentina's turbulent political history, from the rise of Peronism to the current economic policies under Javier Milei. Our conversation weaves through the complexities of socialism, populism, and the global shifts in economic power, touching on the failures of central banking, the erosion of middle-class values, and the emerging counterculture on the political right. For more, follow Reaxionario on Twitter @reaxionario.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:32 Global Markets and Economic Trends03:13 Argentina's Economic History and Central Bank05:35 The Rise and Fall of Argentina's Economy13:30 Peronism and Its Impact on Argentina20:29 Modern Political Movements in Argentina33:27 The 2020 Pandemic and Its Aftermath36:21 The Argentine Way of Defiance37:20 Economic Struggles and Public Resentment40:35 The Rise of Javier Milen42:31 Middle Class and Inflation46:45 The Welfare State Debate52:38 Youth Rebellion and Kirchnerismo54:59 Global Counterculture and Humor01:02:11 Decentralized Movements and Optimism01:05:18 Conclusion and Future OutlookKey InsightsThe Erosion of Argentina's Middle Class: One of the central themes is the decline of Argentina's middle class, which has been squeezed by inflation, high taxes, and policies that favor the political elite and public sector employees. Reaxionario argues that decades of socialist and Peronist policies have created a two-tiered society where the bureaucratic class prospers, while the middle class steadily shrinks, losing access to the cultural and material wealth it once enjoyed.Javier Milei as a Refined Populist: Unlike populists such as Donald Trump, Javier Milei is presented as a more intellectual figure, grounded in a deep understanding of economics and a clear vision for dismantling Argentina's welfare state. Milei channels the anger of a disenfranchised population, especially among the youth, but his appeal lies in his coherence and refined arguments, not just in emotional rhetoric.The Failure of the Welfare State: The episode emphasizes that Argentina's welfare state, which initially provided comfort for the middle class, has failed over time. Reaxionario points out that the system is unsustainable, creating temporary prosperity by consuming wealth created in previous generations while leaving future generations without the means to produce new wealth. This mirrors a broader global trend where welfare states are collapsing under the weight of unsustainable promises.Argentina's Role as a Bellwether for the West: Reaxionario suggests that Argentina is a microcosm of what is happening—or will happen—across Western nations. Once a prosperous country in the early 20th century, Argentina's descent into populism, central planning, and the erosion of individual freedoms mirrors what is now happening in Europe and the U.S. Argentina, having already reached the extreme, may offer insight into the future trajectory of other nations struggling with similar economic and political dynamics.Youth Rebellion Against the Political Class: A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to understanding how Argentina's younger generations have rallied around Milei. After suffering through the longest lockdown in the world and seeing the failures of the Kirchnerist elite, young Argentines are rejecting the political establishment. This generation, stifled by economic hardships and a bleak future, sees Milei as a vehicle for real change and an escape from the political class's control.The Impact of the 2020 Pandemic: The pandemic served as a tipping point for many Argentines, exacerbating societal divisions and heightening resentment toward the ruling elite. The long lockdown, particularly in Buenos Aires, crippled the economy while exposing the hypocrisy of the political class, as government officials flouted their own lockdown rules. This fed into a broader distrust of the government, fueling the rise of figures like Milei who promise to dismantle these failed structures.The Global Counterculture Shift: Reaxionario posits that there is a new, decentralized counterculture rising on the political right, much like the left-wing counterculture of the 1960s. This movement is characterized by a rejection of progressive authoritarianism, particularly in humor, free speech, and economic freedom. This counterculture is spreading globally and has found fertile ground in Argentina, where the failure of leftist policies is most visible. This marks a significant shift as the left-wing establishment is now the authoritarian force, while the right becomes the voice of rebellion and change.
October 17, 1945. In Buenos Aires, a large labor demonstration demands the liberation of ousted and imprisoned Vice President Juan Domingo Perón, leading to Peron's election to the presidency and giving rise to a new populist movement known as Peronism.

Send us a Text Message.How did the Piquetero Movement in Argentina come about? And what did this movement as arguably the most significant unemployed workers' movement in the world do differently to other social movements. In this episode Professor Lawrence Hamilton speaks with Professor Federico Rossi about social movements and political change in Argentina. They discuss the emergence of the Piquetero Movement and the concept of Peronism in the country. Also, not to be missed, in our monthly feature called the Political Agenda, political studies scholar Moshibudi Motimele looks at the ongoing war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Love him or hate him, it is clear that Javier Milei has rapidly made himself quite a controversial figure in global politics. Carrying a message that is unique and very different from traditional South American politicians, Milei has vowed to reduce the "parasitic" state in his country.But his appearance may be ideal for the nation, and his recent victory as President of Argentina is a sign that the people of Argentina are tired of the old, stagnant systems of Peronism and Kirchnerism, that kept the country poor and corruption at its worst.Still, what has made Milei such an interesting and refreshing arrival to global politics, and why does he divide opinions this much?We'll have to find out in this week's episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast!Transcript of this episode is available at: https://podcast.lingomastery.com/listen/1231
Imprisoned Anarchist Toby Shone This week, we're sharing audio from anarchist prisoner in the UK, Toby Shone. Toby was arrested in November of 2020 after a car chase and during 5 simultaneous raids on residences in the Forest of Dean outside of Bristol. Toby was accused of being responsible for the insurrectionary counter-info anarchist site 325.NoState.Net as well as participation in the Informal Anarchist Federation – International Revolutionary Front, authoring communiques on behalf of IAF-IRF & the Earth Liberation Front, funding terrorism and being involved in the sabotage of a cellphone tower and having information on explosives. This raid and the case were brought in conjunction with the attempted linking of a diverse array of UK anarchist projects with terrorist charges via Operation Adream, which Toby understands to be conducted in conjunction with intelligence services from the Netherlands and German. The court failed to convict Toby Shone on these charges and only succeeded in convicting him of having and distributing hallucinagens and got 3 years, 9 months. Toby was then re-arressted while out on probation for having a cellphone and attending a prisoner support event. You'll hear two audios from Toby, first him explaining his conviction and situation during his first incarceration, and then you'll hear Toby recently answer a few of our questions and updating listeners about his recent re-imprisonment in HMP Garth, far away from his supporters in the Bristol area. Much thanks to Brighton Anarchist Black Cross for supporting Toby and this conversation. More information at https://brightonabc.org.uk. Brighton ABC and Tobys supporters have noted that he's been receiving pretty spotty treatment for his cancer and not getting a healthy vegan diet and so has lost some weight of recent. Tobys mail, including letters and books haven't been making their way to him at HMP Garth. It's requested that supporters consider writing Toby a postcard, letter or email to help him through these next 8 months or so before his scheduled release and to inform his crew at forestcase (at) riseup.net of the mailing so they have a record in case it doesn't get to Toby. Notably at that website you'll see information about an upcoming International Anti-Repression Gathering happening in Brighton from March 30-31st. There's information about signing up for the event at Brighton ABC's website. Argentinian Antifascist on Resisting Milei and Red Gym, La Cultura Del Barrio Then, we were able to get an interview with Nicholas of Buenos Aires, Argentina to catch up on what's been happening since the presidential election of libertarian capitalist Javier Milei. Milei's presidentialcampaign was highlighted by his claims to subvert the status quo of Peronism - a socially liberal form of democracy with decades of complicated contexts in the 20th century. He's claimed to be an “anarcho-capitalist,” although his policies since election have been nothing short of classic neoliberalism: cuts to social welfare, hamstringing of labor union's rights to strike and picket, and doing away with common regulations of capital. While Americans have sought to understand Milei by comparing him to former U.S. President Trump, Nicholas outlines how this comparison falls short. We also talk about the role of organized anti-fascists in expecting continued clashes with the police, the social space & boxing gym La Cultura Del Barrio, and how the call for a general strike by mainstream labor unions in Argentina largely fell flat.

Elder political prisoner of Lakota, Dakota and Anishinaabe descent, Leonard Peltier, has been in prison for roughly 47 years and at nearly 80 years old after this long behind bars, his physical health is ailing. His supporters are asking people of conscience to contact US senators and representatives to appeal for medical care for his eyesight and other medical needs, including access to a wheelchair. There are lots of backgrounds on his case, but you also can hear a February 17th, 2019 interview we conducted with Paulette D'Auteuil on his case. SAMPLE SCRIPT “Hello, I'm calling about immediate medical care needed for Leonard Peltier, a 79 year-old federal prisoner. His prisoner number is 89637- 132, and he's in USP Coleman 1. We need Sen/Rep _____'s assistance. 1) First, Leonard must see an eye specialist without further delay, as his loss of vision poses serious risk of him falling, and he depends on other prisoners to perform basic life activities. 2) Second, Leonard is in constant pain and has multiple severe health conditions requiring immediate and ongoing medical care. I am asking (Sen/Rep) to request an immediate transfer for Leonard Peltier to the Federal Medical Prison Facility in Rochester Minnesota (FCI Rochester) where he can get treatment for all of his medical conditions. I also urge the Sen/Rep to advocate for elder Leonard Peltier's release so he can receive healthcare outside of prison and be with loved ones and community. Aside from Leonard Peltier being innocent of any crime, immediate release is proper and humane given his advanced age and medical conditions. Thank You." . ... . ..

Juan Perón's decade-long regime, from 1946 to 1955, is often presented as Nazi-fascist and antisemitic - claims that are strongly rooted in Argentina's collective unconscious and popular culture. Challenging this widely held view, Raanan Rein asserts that there was greater Jewish support for Perón than previously believed, and that fewer antisemitic incidents took place in Argentina during Perón's rule than during any other period in the twentieth century. Recovering the silenced voices of Jewish Argentines who supported Peronism from the beginning, Populism and Ethnicity: Peronism and the Jews of Argentina (McGill-Queen's UP, 2020) is a historical, sociological, and political analysis that describes the many positive changes experienced by the Jewish community as a direct result of Perón's presidencies. Perón and his wife Eva gave numerous speeches denouncing antisemitism, and Perón's Argentina was the first Latin American country to open an embassy in the newly established State of Israel. Arguing that no president before Perón so unambiguously rejected discrimination against Jews, Rein shows that many Jews secured more important posts in government in the 1940s and 1950s than in previous years, among them members of the Argentine Jewish Organization, which became a section of the ruling Peronist party. Deconstructing the myth of antisemitism during Perón's regime, Populism and Ethnicity looks deep into the heart of international memory for the truth behind Jewish-Argentine relations.

You may recognise her as the woman who, in the face of impending death from cancer at the age of just 33, implored Argentina not to cry for her from the iconic balcony of the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires. She certainly made a lot of speeches from the balcony of the Casa Rosada. She knew how to connect to a crowd. She also knew how to ruffle feathers, and didn't care that she did so. Even though it was actually her husband who was the president, Evita has become the enduring face of his political legacy (known as “Peronism”).In this episode, which is half an hour longer than the usual time limit (as there was so much to talk about and the original conversation was almost 3 hours long!), I am joined by Buenos Aires tour guide Mercedes as we delve deep into the life of Eva Perón, the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952, and explore some of the controversies and myths surrounding her. Loved and despised in equal measure in Argentina, with no middle ground, her legacy is a very divisive one with each side claiming certain truths about her life. We're going to try as much as possible to talk objectively about her and find the nuance between the two emotionally charged narratives of Evita. Due to the length of the episode, we only talk about her life and don't go so much into her legacy. If you would like to learn about her legacy since she died, then you can listen to the full length episode at The History Buff Patreon. You can also follow The History Buff on Instagram, TikTok and Youtube.If you are planning on visiting Buenos Aires, do take a tour with Mercedes, she is absolutely fantastic - knowledgable, insightful, objective and impartial. 10/10.

This week we talk about Peronists, Milei, and Argentina's inflation rate.We also discuss Justicialism, Bullrich, and military coups.Recommended Book: Future Starts Here by John HiggsTranscriptPeronism, sometimes called Justicialism, after the Justicialist party, whose name is derived from the concept of social justice, and which is the main Peronist party in Argentina, has been the dominant political force in the country since the mid-20th century.The word Peronism comes from the labor secretary-turned-president of Argentina, Juan Perón, who's wife, Eva Perón you might have heard of, but Juan came into that labor secretary position after playing a role in a military coup in 1943, and was then elected president in 1946. His platform was broadly predicated on new social programs, support for unions, and supporting his wife's efforts to attain rights for migrant workers, among other, adjacent efforts.In 1955, though, under the Peróns' leadership, the country was experiencing high levels of inflation and other economic issues, alongside political repression from the Peronists—making it difficult for anyone else to step in and take any of their power, basically, despite being ostensibly democratic—so the military overthrew them in 1955, and the party was banned until 1973 when open, non-military-controlled elections were held again; and Perón won that election, returning to the presidency after nearly two decades. Juan died a year after returning to office, and his widow, his third-wife Isabel, who was also his vice president before he died, stepped in to run the country, but she was overthrown by the military in another coup in 1976.Argentina was then run by a military dictatorship until 1983, when democracy returned, political parties were able to function again, and from that point forward, Peronist parties have dominated Argentine politics, their candidates holding the presidency for 28 of the 40 years between then and today, despite the very mixed record of Perón and others who have run as Peronists.And fundamental to that mixed record is the Peronist party's seeming inability to manage Argentina's economy. The Peronists have always promised a great deal to Argentinian voters, including social benefits, allowing workers to negotiate as unions with their employers, and offering legal protections and the other benefits of citizenship to people and groups that have traditionally been disenfranchised—all of which was has earned them accolades over the years from groups across the political spectrum. That said, the party and all its offshoots have also been accused of being authoritarian, coasting to power on populist messages and demagoguery, stripping would-be political opponents of their rights and sicing their supporters on them, initiating violence against them, in some cases, and in general creating an ideology that sounds great on paper, but which, when put into practice, is often tainted by the power-hoarding efforts of those in charge; and all these efforts, on top of those other issues, tend to be unsustainable, leaving Argentina in precarious economic situations over and over again.That economic unsustainability is part of what has made Argentina something of an outlier in South America; despite having all the ingredients of a decently successful, burgeoning state—like its neighbor to the north, Brazil—it somehow, over and over again, has stumbled into economic catastrophe, leaving it drowning in debt, stagnating, suffering from chronic inflation, and generally declining even when its regional peer-nations have enjoyed economic boom-times.What I'd like to talk about today is Argentina's 2023 presidential election, the people and ideas involved, and what a November run-off might mean for the country's fortunes, moving forward.—On October 22, 2023, Argentina held a general election, during which voters cast ballots for most government positions, including provincial governors, all the way up to President.That election for the top-billing role has been especially closely watched by the international community, as the main contenders leading up to the vote included the current Minister of the Economy from a Peronist party called the Renewal Front, a National Deputy and minor celebrity from Buenos Aries, who was the candidate for the Libertarian Party, and the former Minister of Security running under the banner of a center-right party called Republican Proposal.In the country's August primaries, the Libertarian candidate, a shock-jock-style economist named Javier Milei, took first place, alarming pretty much everyone in established Argentine politics, and the international economic community, because of his radical and unusual ideas about how economics and the government should work in the country. But he took first place in those primaries, with the center-right candidate, Patricia Bullrich, taking second, and the Peronist Renewal Front candidate, Sergio Massa, took third place; the first time the candidate from the Peronist party has been relegated to third place in the country's primaries.And that made the October general election quite the event, as there was reason to believe the two parties that typically vie for government leadership, the authoritarian-left Paronists and the center-right Republican Proposal, might be usurped by this radical outsider who has wild ideas and has been favorably compared to former US President Donald Trump for his outlandish statements and on-camera antics.As it turned out, though, once the votes were cast—and voting is compulsory in Argentina, for people ages 18 to 70, and citizens ages 16 and 17 are allowed, but not required, to vote—the Peronist candidate took first place with nearly 37% of the votes, the firebrand Milei got almost 30%, and the conservative Bullrich took not quite 24%. That third-place position means Bullrich will not be able to participate in the runoff election scheduled for November 19, which has been disappointing for many international analysts, as she was thought to be the adult in the room, so to speak, in all things monetary, as her proposed policies have been generally more in line with international standards in countries that don't suffer from the wild levels of inflation and other economic catastrophes Argentina has seen on a near-continuous basis since the mid-20th century. Instead, the country's voters will choose between the Peronists—under whose party leadership and policies the country has suffered through a half-decade monetary crisis, and a relative outsider who has suggested, among other things, that the government should end as much spending as possible in order to rush to a balanced budget, including killing off all those social programs, that the country's Central Bank should be abolished, and that Argentina should do away with the peso and adopt the US dollar as its official currency.Milei has also said that he believes abortion should be banned in all cases, including when a women has been raped, that COVID vaccines are scams, as is feminism, that minority groups are trying to take over the country, using what he calls cultural marxism, which is a conspiracy theory held by far-right nationalist groups around the world, that sex education shouldn't be taught in schools, that climate change is a hoax, that anyone who wants to own a gun should be able to get one, and that taxes should never be increased.None of which is terribly beyond the norm for far-right, at times extreme far-right groups in other nations, but with rare exceptions those groups aren't typically at the center of political discourse, and aren't winning large portions of the total vote—which Milei has done, in part on the back of votes from young people who seem to enjoy his antics and dramatic, sweeping platform.Many people have reportedly voted for him, though, based on exit polling and other surveys, because the status quo in the country, currently and for a long while, has just been abysmal for the everyday person. Some estimates suggest that Argentina will tally an inflation rate of about 140% in 2023, which is just staggering if you think about the implications of what that means for the value of a person's income and savings, and what it implies about how people should behave; for comparison, the wealthy world has been flipping out over inflation rates of medium- to high single-digits, and this is many times that, a situation that incentivizes people to immediately spend or convert into other currencies all money they bring in as soon as possible, because it will be worth substantially less tomorrow if they hang onto it.And while Milei's many and often radical beliefs aren't everyone's cup of tea, the protest vote—voting against the way things are, today, even if the alternative isn't ideal for other reasons—seems to have been strong during those primaries, and only a little less-potent during the general election that triggered this run-off, because no one attracted the 45% of the votes necessary to win outright, and part of why is that instead of just two serious candidates in the race, Milei presented voters with an opportunity to burn it all down, basically, and nearly a third of the voting population took him up on that.Massa, who isn't exactly a continuity candidate, since he's heading a party he founded to, in his words, "build the Peronism of the 21st century," is still Peronist enough that many people consider him to be nearly an incumbent, as the presidency is currently held by a Judicialist politician, and the two parties share enough of the fundamentals to make them commodity products in the eyes of many voters.Probably at least in part because of that similar-enough status, Massa was able to pull in a dominant portion of the general election votes; but while Massa has a core body of enthusiastic supporters, people who really believe in what he's trying to do, evolving the Peronist model to make it work better, basically, some people have said they're voting for him because he's not as crazy as Milei, and thus seems less likely to set fire to the government just for the sake of setting fires. Despite the current state of affairs, then, some voters are seeking continuity not because they like what's happening, but because they fear what could happen under a different guiding hand.Whomever takes the lead and thus, the presidency, will have a raft of issues to contend with, beyond inflation and economics. The country is set to undergo negotiations with the IMF in November, the same month as the runoff election, and it has seen the worst grain harvest in about 60 years as a consequence of a significant drought—and grain is its main export, so this could nudge the country even closer to default, and make those negotiations with the IMF even more fraught, as foreign reserve accumulation targets it wants to achieve could drift out of reach if those exports falter too badly and it's unable to procure the necessary volume of internationally tradable currencies.The Economist ran an editorial following the general election, in which it proposed that the outcome, which will see Massa and Milei in a runoff in late-November, is the worst of all possible outcomes, as it suggests that, first, Argentine voters aren't interested in a non-bombastic alternative vision for how the country could be run, as they relegated the center-conservative candidate Bullrich to third place, and thus, she's no longer in the running, and second that it's just astonishingly difficult to bring outsiders into a political system that has been so dominated by Peronists for so long, despite the shortcomings of the Peronist system that have plagued the country's economy for decades.That, of course, is a economics-focused perspective, which is perhaps fitting for a publication like the Economist, but because of that focus, it fails to consider the obvious benefits, for many average, non-economist people, at least, of having a government that introduces and protects social safety net and human rights-related benefits, even when doing so isn't economically sustainable; you can absolutely argue that it's short-sighted to burn a candle with an insufficient length of wick, but they've managed to do so for a good long while, even if progress in that department has often been more of a shamble than a steady run.Argentina is looking down the barrel of its sixth recession in a decade, it has had to go through 22 economic bail-out programs since 1956, and it's in debt to the tune of $56 billion to the IMF. There's no clear way out of that kind of financial pit, especially considering all the other challenges the country also faces now, and will face in the near-future.It's possible that at some point a politician will step into power who has a sense of how to both address the pervasive and persistent economic issues the country struggles with, and allow citizens to retain their rights, their social safety nets, and other sticking points that have been traditionally vital to voters; but it seems unlikely, failing some kind of major deviation from their proposed platforms, at least, that either of the candidates still in the running in this election will be that politician.Show Noteshttps://www.reuters.com/world/americas/argentinas-massa-milei-battle-woo-9-million-swing-votes-2023-10-24/https://www.vox.com/world-politics/2023/10/21/23925549/argentina-election-javier-milei-right-youthhttps://www.wsj.com/world/americas/argentines-vote-to-choose-president-in-country-hard-hit-by-economic-crisis-956c8f12https://apnews.com/article/milei-argentina-chainsaw-fed35a37c6137b951e4adada3d866436https://apnews.com/article/argentina-election-milei-massa-vote-bullrich-cead0d423f2e51444b48770af618940bhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/23/argentina-heads-to-runoff-as-economy-minister-leads-far-right-outsider?traffic_source=rsshttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/23/world/americas/argentina-election-runoff-milei.htmlhttps://archive.ph/OpBmThttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%93present_Argentine_monetary_crisishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Argentine_general_electionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Argentine_primary_electionshttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-67156220https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/analyst-view-argentina-vote-headed-runoff-between-ruling-peronist-radical-milei-2023-10-23/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javier_Mileihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Argentinahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewal_Fronthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Fern%C3%A1ndezhttps://www.economist.com/leaders/2023/10/23/argentinas-election-result-is-the-worst-of-all-possible-outcomeshttps://www.reuters.com/world/americas/how-argentinas-massa-pulled-off-election-upset-with-tax-cuts-bus-fares-2023-10-23/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/3/9/argentinas-grain-harvest-suffers-under-worst-drought-in-60-yearshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peronismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_history_of_Argentinahttps://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2023/9/13/inflation-continues-to-climb-in-argentina-as-presidential-election-nearshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%93present_Argentine_monetary_crisis This is a public episode.

If you enjoyed this episode, please consider becoming a paid subscriber here on Substack to help us sustain Good Distinctions!Sins Against the Respect for the Reputation of PersonsStatements made about public figures are a dime a dozen. Individuals like Pope Francis who are known throughout the world garner certain reputations. Often, these reputations are an amalgamation of rash judgment, detraction, or calumny. In today's examination, I want to investigate the rather loaded question: is Pope Francis in favor of socialism and/or globalism? For some, this seems like a forgone conclusion and for others the sentiment is preposterous. I hope to shed a bit of light on the subject by sifting through the defining socialism and globalism, looking at Church teaching on the subject, and reviewing some statements by Pope Francis. Maybe then we will get a bit closer to understanding the mind of the Roman Pontiff on the topic.However, first I want to look briefly at these three sins against respect for the reputation of persons. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “Respect for the reputation of persons forbids every attitude and word likely to cause them unjust injury (CCC 2477).” So, what are rash judgments, detraction, and calumny?Rash JudgmentsIf we call into question the moral standing of another without sufficient foundation, we are guilty of the sin of rash judgment. We do not even have to be fully convinced of our neighbor's fault for the sin of rash judgment to be present. Avoiding rash judgment requires care and practice. When we encounter the thoughts, words, and deeds of another, we should attempt to interpret them in a favorable way. St. Ignatius of Loyola writes:“Every good Christian ought to be more ready to give a favorable interpretation to another's statement than to condemn it. But if he cannot do so, let him ask how the other understands it. And if the latter understands it badly, let the former correct him with love. If that does not suffice, let the Christian try all suitable ways to bring the other to a correct interpretation so that he may be saved (St. Ignatius of Loyola, Spiritual Exercises, 22).”DetractionDetraction is the sin of disclosing another's faults and failings to persons who did not know them without an objectively valid reason for doing so, to use the wording of the Catechism (cf. CCC 2477). Notice here that detraction seems to presume that the faults of failings of the other person are actually present. However, we need to take care not to share these faults and failings with an objectively valid reason. CalumnyFinally, calumny is the sin of harming the reputation of another by providing remarks which are contrary to the truth. When this happens, it invites others to make false judgments about the person being discussed. The problem with both detraction and calumny is that they “destroy the reputation and honor of one's neighbor (CCC 2479).” Actions like these are vices opposed to the virtues of justice and charity.Why Bring Up These Three Sins?There is no shortage of armchair theologians interpreting the thoughts, words, and deeds of Pope Francis in an unfavorable way. This is the sin of rash judgment. I myself have been guilty of this sin in regards to the pope several years ago, and I repent of it. Likewise, there are things which are sincerely problematic surrounding the Francis pontificate and the person of Pope Francis in the past ten years. Not all of these personal conversations needed to be brought out to the public forum, especially not in the way that they were. For example, the many letters of Archbishop Vigano would constitute, in my mind, consistent detraction against the Holy Father. Many of these letters also seem to fit the bill for calumny as well. And, of course, there is widespread calumny against the pope, as I am sure there has been against every pope in history. Folks do love to gossip. It is an unfortunate side effect of the Fall and our concupiscence. So, how does this apply to today's topic? I am going to try to avoid rash judgment, detraction, and calumny as I investigate the subject matter today. I hope by giving a model for reading the Pontiff charitably, all of us will be inspired to do likewise in the future. With that all being said, let us now turn our attention to socialism and globalism.What are Socialism and Globalism? Are they Related?When you say the word “socialism,” most people immediately think of economics. Really, socialism is more broadly a political ideology with implications in both economic and sociological structures. These structures or systems are predominantly centered around the means of production being controlled socially, rather than privately. The means of production are the land, labor, and capital which are used to produce products (in the form of goods or services). If the land, labor, or capital in a given locale are owned by the government, by a co-op, by employees, or the like, this is an indication that socialist mechanisms are in play. After the introduction of the thought of Marx and Engels in the 19th Century, a category of socialism was born which was called Communism. While there have been many iterations of socialism and communism, the key distinction is that communism is not concerned with social ownership of the means of production only but also with socially designed means of consumption of products. At any rate, both socialism and communism are opposed to capitalism, which desires to keep the means of production owned by private firms and individuals. Globalism is an interesting term without a set definition. It is usually used by right-leaning capitalists in a pejorative sense. In the 17th Century, the Peace of Westphalia led to a world-system in which several nation-states and independent nations created an interconnected economic system. These world-systems were not global as much as very large regional systems. Many of these world-systems did not interact with one another. Then, over the next two centuries, these world-systems came into ever-increasing contact in a process known as globalization. Due to transportation and communications advancements, this process took off at a feverish pace after the end of the Cold War in the 1990s. Goods, services, technology, capital, data, people, and the like move relatively freely across borders throughout the world. As a result, global markets continued to expand. In 2000, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) described four main aspects of globalization: 1) trade, 2) capital movements, 3) movement of people, and 4) the spread of knowledge and technology (Globalization: Threat or Opportunity?). Globalism is really the expression of globalization, just as nationalism is an expression of nationality. Here lies one danger: just as nationalism can go off the rails towards a well-intentioned but ultimately overzealous approach, so too can globalism devolve into an attempt to control uncontrollable mechanisms. When governments and key global leaders in politics, business, and entertainment attempt to control global markets, the outcome leads to remarkable inefficiencies which sadly lead to human suffering. This is because a society which is not founded on the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity are doomed to radically disordered structures and systems. For more on solidarity and subsidiarity, check out a previous episode on the topic. So, are socialism and globalism related? To an extent: yes! Many of the early socialists dreamed of a utopian world in which everyone had what they needed and suffering was minimized. Then, when Marx and Engels began writing the Communist Manifesto, they did so in a world which was already experiencing the nascent groans of globalization, with all its accompanying problems. Their response was to instantiate a radical form of socialism. Planned socialist economies have been tried numerous times in the 20th Century and the result has always been widespread death, suffering, and even genocide. Globalism is more or less an attempt to understand the mechanism and intricacies of globalization. This is nothing more than a desire for more knowledge about how the structures which exist in the world actually work. The problem is when globalism takes on a more “intentional” twinge and admixes socialist policies. The socialist or the globalist could dream of a world in which social structures control land, labor, and capital in order to produce goods and services for a global market. These social structures could be the United Nations, the European Union, or even the neoliberal and neoconservative efforts of nation building seen after the Cold War. What does the Church Teach About Socialism and Globalism?SocialismPope Pius XI, in his work Quadragesimo Anno, writes: “If Socialism, like all errors, contains some truth (which, moreover, the supreme pontiffs have never denied), it is based nevertheless on a theory of human society peculiar to itself and irreconcilable with true Christianity. Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are contradictory terms; no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist (Quadragesimo Anno, 120).”Likewise, the Catechism of the Catholic Church states that:“The Church has rejected the totalitarian and atheistic ideologies associated in modern times with “communism” or “socialism” (Catechism, 2425).”Pope Leo XIII in his masterwork Rerum Novarum wrote in 1891 that:“To remedy these wrongs the socialists, working on the poor man's envy of the rich, are striving to do away with private property, and contend that individual possessions should become the common property of all, to be administered by the State or by municipal bodies. They hold that by thus transferring property from private individuals to the community, the present mischievous state of things will be set to rights, inasmuch as each citizen will then get his fair share of whatever there is to enjoy. But their contentions are so clearly powerless to end the controversy that were they carried into effect the working man himself would be among the first to suffer. They are, moreover, emphatically unjust, for they would rob the lawful possessor, distort the functions of the State, and create utter confusion in the community (Rerum Novarum, 4).”One of the key tenets of socialist ideology is contempt for private property, which is something that the Catholic Church ardently defends. Pope Leo XIII even speaks of the “inviolability” of private property, as a principle. Likewise, Pope Leo XIII speaks of socialists setting up “a State supervision” at the expense of parents, which he calls an “act against natural justice” which would “destroy the structure of the home (ibid., 14).”GlobalismBecause globalism is so ill-defined, we will be hard pressed to find many denunciations or affirmations of it. However, we can see fairly clearly that the Catholic Church is not opposed to a transnationalism corporate approach, given that it is the oldest and most interconnected organization in the world! Where the rubber meets the road on this question is between progressives in favor of an international and anti-nationalist view of global structures and a conservative and isolationist view. Between these two views is a wide diversity of ideologies of varying degrees. So, we do not want to fall into a trap of extremism. From my perspective, I think both extremes have something to offer. On the side of the internationalist progressives, I think there is value to their critique that there is an American, exceptionalist version of Catholicism which reads into everything the Vatican does as pertaining exclusively and directly to the United States. This sort of nationalism might be appropriate for navigating diplomatic relations between nations. But it is prideful and ridiculous on the global, Catholic front. I do not doubt that Pope Francis has spoken vaguely about the Western world and the United States, in particular, with negative overtones. But his critiques are centered around an observation of rampant materialism and individualism which devalues certain communities and the marginalized. And fair enough.On the side of the isolationist conservatives, there is a desire to get one's house in order before reaching out to others in assistance. The world is full of different problems, but we need to fix the problems in our own house and in our own backyard before we can be of use to anyone else. I am deeply sympathetic to this approach due to my abiding love of the principle of subsidiarity. But we have to balance this approach with solidarity, which shows how intensely interconnected the human family is. And what is more, the baptized are supernaturally brothers and sisters in an even more pronounced way than a mere natural association. The problem with globalism which is the most pronounced is the lens of seeing the world in material terms to the neglect of the spiritual. I wrote about this extensively in my part two summary of Deus Caritas Est by Pope Benedict XVI. We have a responsibility to provide for the material necessities of those in need (preferential option for the poor), but we cannot fulfill this due to the neglect of the spiritual needs of persons. Rising alongside globalization was an insidious secularism which attempted to remove God from society.Material, at the Expense of the SpiritualRiding the wave of the Enlightenment, Frederich Neitzsche famously wrote “God is dead,” but most people do not understand the point he is making. He is not simply announcing his own growing personal atheism. The quote continues:“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it? (Neitzsche)”The Enlightenment was deeply disorienting because Christendom cannot exist apart from a Christian worldview and Christian societal ordering. When the Enlightenment thinkers and actors unmoored society from these deep roots and outstretched arms to Heaven, the response was the dramatic collapse of the moral value structure of Christian society. With continued globalization, this secularism continued to creep along the globe. Now, it is counter-cultural and an oddity to be a believer, much less a Christian. The nihilism of Nietzsche saw that society was shaking off the temporal influence of Christianity, but he also remarked that the “shadows” of God would still need to be vanquished, the vestiges of the Christian worldview. In our current postmodern world, this is certainly coming true pragmatically. The main problem with this - and thus with what globalism is effectively importing and exporting ideologically these days - is that God is not dead and never will be. Human nature does not change just because some European narcissists of the last centuries say so.Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Marx, in various iterations refer to the offers of Christian religion as the comfort of certainty. Marx, in particular, refers to religion as the opiate of the masses. I think this shows just how twisted the notions of Christianity were at the time. Jesus did not come to bring us comfort, He told us to pick up our cross and follow Him. The Christian life is hard. Yes, the promise of Heaven is a comfort, but it also happens to be true because the Source is trustworthy.Unfortunately, globalism has led to a bland approach to religious truths - and especially moral prescripts - which has devolved into moral relativism, subjectivism, and indifferentism. Even within the Church, we can sense the effects of these trends. Many Catholics - lay, religious, and clergy alike - are awash in the cultural cocktail of crappy creeds being advanced by every human source with no reference to transcendent, objective truth and the Source of Truth, God Himself. All of that being said, moored in good philosophical and theological convictions, globalism can be a great force for good. Humanity is interconnected. Through mass communication, we can reach out to those around us and those halfway across the globe in an instant. If those using these modern technologies are virtuous and ordered towards God, then the Holy Spirit can bear fruit in these interactions! So, while it is healthy to critique what is morally ambiguous or evil, it is important to see things as they currently are and then help order our society back towards God. Lest we think this is an impossible task, remember charity begins at home. Start there.Where Does Pope Francis Come From and Does it Matter?Before we get into Pope Francis' comments relating to socialism and globalism, it is worth looking at his own upbringing and cultural context. We are the product of nature and nurture, in many real and lasting ways. Pope Francis is no different.Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1936 to Italian parents. His family left Italy to escape the fascist oppression of Benito Mussolini in 1929. Communism sought to abolish private property. Socialism advocated government ownership of the means of production. Fascism left the means of production in private hands but through government and corporate collusion directed every economic decision.He worked as a bouncer and a janitor before training as a chemist and working as a technician in a food science laboratory. At the age of 22, he discerned a vocation to the priesthood in the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). As we grow up, our thoughts and opinions on matters change, politically, socially, economically, and even religiously. These changes might be a deepening and maturing, a complete break for something new, or an exploration which eventually comes full circle. What is consistent is that our cultural experiences and upbringing color our approaches. In the case of Jorge Bergoglio in Argentina, Juan Perón took power in 1946 after World War Two and held power until he was overthrown in 1955.I think that Juan Perón is the key to understanding Pope Francis' approach to society and politics. Peronism is a form of corporate socialism but is seen by many as “right wing.” Confused yet? Juan Perón was an Argentine nationalist and populist. Populism is not right or left wing; it is a way to stir up public support amongst the working class.Juan Perón harbored former Nazi officials. He was fairly isolationist. He was anti-clerical and got on the bad side of the Church when he worked to legalize divorce. He supported labor unions and corporatized them. He used violence and dictatorial rule to maintain power, but all the while styled himself as a man of the people. Though a socialist in practice, Juan Perón had a well documented respect for Benito Mussolini. I think it is fair to say that Juan Perón was willing to support any policy which helped him retain power - a hallmark of populists. Juan Perón is key to Pope Francis' approach because this is the society which Jorge Bergoglio grappled with from ten years old and forward. And even after Juan Perón was removed, his policies and ideas remained prevalent in Argentine politics into the 21st Century. So, keep that in mind as we look at what Pope Francis has to say about socialism and globalism. Americans, especially, are notorious for reading everything in light of American politics and economic ideologies. Argentina is vastly different from the United States politically, socially, and economically. If we approach Pope Francis' writings on social and economic structuring with narrow vision, then we will miss the forest for the trees. Is Pope Francis a Socialist or Globalist?Now, finally, we can turn our attention to the question: is Pope Francis a socialist or a globalist? I am going to focus on looking at the three most authoritative documents from Pope Francis, his encyclicals: Lumen Fidei (2013), Laudato si' (2015), and Fratelli Tutti (2020). I will also touch on his 2013 Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium. I am not writing a book on the man, nor am I claiming to exhaustively treat this question. But the conversation I want to start here is: what does he actually promulgate in his ordinary and universal magisterium, as the Pope. Popes are free to hold private opinions and even express them publicly, but they do not hold the weight of an encyclical letter. So, we will stick to these three documents. If you want to sort through the ambiguous statements the Pope has made or dive into his airplane interviews, go for it!Lumen Fidei (2013)Lumen Fidei was released shortly after Pope Francis was elected and was actually written by Pope Benedict XVI. Nonetheless, being promulgated by Francis, we should charitably assume that he is asserting what is therein contained. This encyclical is in the same vein as Deus Caritas Est and Spe Salvi on Charity and Hope and is about Faith. This is a largely theological text without much discussion of politics or economics. But there is one pertinent idea that is repeated twice: “The individual's act of faith finds its place within a community, within the common ‘we' of the people who, in faith, are like a single person - ‘my first-born son,' as God would describe all of Israel (Lumen Fidei, 14).”Likewise, in par. 43, we hear: “Since faith is a reality lived within the community of the Church, part of a common ‘We,' children can be supported by others, their parents and godparents, and welcomed into their faith, which is the faith of the Church (ibid., 43).”I think these two paragraphs, when taken as one idea, are a concrete expression of solidarity and subsidiarity in the life of the Church. The corporate “We” of the Church stretches across the entire globe (and in Purgatory and Heaven!!) but the instantiation is in the local, the family, the cell of society. As far as globalism is concerned, this seems like a perfectly balanced approach.The understanding that the integrity of the Faith is vital is beautifully expounded here:“Since faith is one, it must be professed in all its purity and integrity. Precisely because all the articles of faith are interconnected, to deny one of them, even of those that seem least important, is tantamount to distorting the whole. Each period of history can find this or that point of faith easier or harder to accept: hence the need for vigilance in ensuring that the deposit of faith is passed on in its entirety (cf. 1 Tim 6:20) and that all aspects of the profession of faith are duly emphasized. Indeed, inasmuch as the unity of faith is the unity of the Church, to subtract something from the faith is to subtract something from the veracity of communion (ibid., 48).”The unity of faith is the unity of the Church. So, if the Pope takes a global view of the Church - which he should - then the accompanying principle is unity of belief. From the beginning, this has been one of the unambiguous guiding principles of the Church: there is a unity of governance, teaching, preaching, and means of sanctification. It is only in Jesus that we are united. This is the light of life for society. The Pope writes:“Modernity sought to build a universal brotherhood based on equality, yet we gradually came to realize that this brotherhood, lacking a reference to a common Father as its ultimate foundation, cannot endure (ibid., 54).”It is abundantly clear that Pope Benedict XVI wrote these words. But Pope Francis promulgated them. This is what he believes.By living the faith in integrity, locally and based in subsidiarity, is ordered to the common good of society. “Faith does not merely grant interior firmness, a steadfast conviction on the part of the believer; it also sheds light on every human relationship because it is born of love and reflects God's own love (ibid., 50).”In this first encyclical of the Francis pontificate, there can be no doubt that any sense of a globalized reality is tempered with subsidiarity and a unity of faith, and a bold proclamation of that Faith. This is all the more clarified by Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation, released in November of 2013, Evangelii Gaudium. Evangelii Gaudium (2013)Pope Francis condemns a “throw away” culture which treats human beings like consumer goods. In this context, the Pope decries “trickle-down theories” of economics which:“…assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system. Meanwhile, the excluded are still waiting. To sustain a lifestyle which excludes others, or to sustain enthusiasm for that selfish ideal, a globalization of indifference has developed. Almost without being aware of it, we end up being incapable of feeling compassion at the outcry of the poor, weeping for other people's pain, and feeling a need to help them, as though all this were someone else's responsibility and not our own. The culture of prosperity deadens us; we are thrilled if the market offers us something new to purchase. In the meantime all those lives stunted for lack of opportunity seem a mere spectacle; they fail to move us (EG, 54).”Clearly, the Pope is condemning a form of capitalism which relies on fallen human beings to do the right thing for the poor and marginalized. It does not seem to me that he is condemning free markets or capitalism, per se. Rather, he is condemning passive indifferentism. He also rightly says that this indifferentism has been globalized. Thus, in the same paragraph, we seem to have a condemnation of a certain kind of free market capitalism and a suspicion of globalist trends.He says that money has become an idol and imbalances in financial markets are caused by a dehumanizing effect which sees human persons only as a consumer. He goes on to say:“While the earnings of a minority are growing exponentially, so too is the gap separating the majority from the prosperity enjoyed by those happy few. This imbalance is the result of ideologies which defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation. Consequently, they reject the right of states, charged with vigilance for the common good, to exercise any form of control. A new tyranny is thus born, invisible and often virtual, which unilaterally and relentlessly imposes its own laws and rules. Debt and the accumulation of interest also make it difficult for countries to realize the potential of their own economies and keep citizens from enjoying their real purchasing power (EG, 56).”Now, we are getting into a condemnation not just of trickle-down systems but of unfettered and unregulated free markets which he calls a “deified market.” What is interesting is his reasons why. He condemns unfettered free markets because he says that they reject God and seek to rule rather than serve. Further, it is not the markets which are problematic so much as the people pulling the levers. They lack a non-ideological ethics which seeks to serve human persons.He quotes someone saying: “Not to share one's wealth with the poor is to steal from them and to take away their livelihood. It is not our own goods which we hold, but theirs (EG, 57).” Golly! Who said that? Karl Marx?! Some dirty communist or socialist? No. Actually it was St. John Chrysostom, the great Church Father of Eastern antiquity. Pope Francis ends this subsection by saying:“Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and to the return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings (EG, 58).”What the Pope is talking about here is principles of ethics and social life, not economic and societal structures, as such. Reading him uncharitably, I remember hearing - mostly American - conservatives mouth off that the Pope is anti-capitalist and therefore a SOCIALIST! Well, it seems more likely from Evangelii Gaudium that the Pope is lamenting any system which is based on greedy materialism which dehumanizes people. The Pope then turns his attention to secularization which he says “tends to reduce the faith and the Church to the sphere of the private and the personal (EG, 64).” It rejects the transcendent, deteriorates ethics, weakens a sense of sin, and increases relativism. Further, he mentions that: “The individualism of our postmodern and globalized era favours a lifestyle which weakens the development and stability of personal relationships and distorts family bonds (EG, 67).”I think that this is a fruitful approach because he is describing the problems he is seeing and then proposing the principles to deal with them effectively, from the mind and heart of the Church. This is not a support or condemnation of globalism, so much as a sober look at where we are currently. I highly recommend reading this document in its entirety to get the full picture. Suffice it to say, there is nothing in Evangelii Gaudium which supports the hypothesis that Pope Francis is a socialist or a globalist.Laudato Si (2015)Laudato Si was written about the care of our common home. It is an encyclical about environmental stewardship, but Pope Francis touches on several economic issues.The Pope is skeptical of international political responses to the protection of marginalized people and ecosystems. He says that too many special interests can “end up trumping the common good and manipulating information so that their own plans will not be affected (LS, 54).” He says that the consequence of this is that:“… the most one can expect is superficial rhetoric, sporadic acts of philanthropy and perfunctory expressions of concern for the environment, whereas any genuine attempt by groups within society to introduce change is viewed as a nuisance based on romantic illusions or an obstacle to be circumvented (LS, 54).”This is the same skepticism about international rule which he expressed in 2013. Quoting from St. John Paul II, Pope Francis defends the universal destination of goods, developmental policies which focus on human rights, and a defense of legitimate right to private property. His critique here is that God's gifts are being used for the benefit of only a few and that unjust habits need to be reexamined. Further, Pope Francis puts globalization in his crosshairs again when he investigates the creativity and power of technology. He writes: “The economy accepts every advance in technology with a view to profit, without concern for its potentially negative impact on human beings (LS, 109).” However, he then repeats the same concern of free market trickle-down economic approaches that he brought forth in Evangelii Gaudium. He says:“Some circles maintain that current economics and technology will solve all environmental problems, and argue, in popular and non-technical terms, that the problems of global hunger and poverty will be resolved simply by market growth. They are less concerned with certain economic theories which today scarcely anybody dares defend, than with their actual operation in the functioning of the economy (LS, 109).” He admits that those who espouse such views do not always do so in words, but he says their deeds run contrary to the items he thinks are important. Namely, these priorities are “more balanced levels of production, a better distribution of wealth, concern for the environment and the rights of future generations (LS, 109).” Pope Francis does not then offer tangible steps of what more balanced levels of production would entail, but a charitable read would suggest that he is referring back to materialism and people being treated as commodities. He does not seem to be referring to who should own the means of production. He calls for a better distribution of wealth, but he clarifies this earlier in the text. There are those who are destitute and do not have their basic needs covered, while a small percentage of people have more resources than they could ever use or even effectively manage. But he does not suggest that wealth be redistributed in a socialist way. As far as Laudato Si is concerned, there is a lot more to say related to a skepticism on the Pope's part regarding global and international approaches to the issue of environmental care. But I want to share one final passage on employment. The view of Pope Francis here is as far from Socialism and Globalism as one could possibly get. And yet, many more conservative readers bristle at any possible critique of the free market and are uncharitable in the rest of their reading. It is longer, but well worth reading carefully, especially if you are prone to saying unequivocally in a kneejerk way that Pope Francis is a socialist; here is the passage:“In order to continue providing employment, it is imperative to promote an economy which favours productive diversity and business creativity. For example, there is a great variety of small-scale food production systems which feed the greater part of the world's peoples, using a modest amount of land and producing less waste, be it in small agricultural parcels, in orchards and gardens, hunting and wild harvesting or local fishing. Economies of scale, especially in the agricultural sector, end up forcing smallholders to sell their land or to abandon their traditional crops. Their attempts to move to other, more diversified, means of production prove fruitless because of the difficulty of linkage with regional and global markets, or because the infrastructure for sales and transport is geared to larger businesses. Civil authorities have the right and duty to adopt clear and firm measures in support of small producers and differentiated production. To ensure economic freedom from which all can effectively benefit, restraints occasionally have to be imposed on those possessing greater resources and financial power. To claim economic freedom while real conditions bar many people from actual access to it, and while possibilities for employment continue to shrink, is to practise a doublespeak which brings politics into disrepute. Business is a noble vocation, directed to producing wealth and improving our world. It can be a fruitful source of prosperity for the areas in which it operates, especially if it sees the creation of jobs as an essential part of its service to the common good (LS, 129).”Fratelli Tutti (2020)Pope Francis' 2020 document on fraternity and social friendship is excellent. It contains a lot of real gems. My favorite quotation, which I think shows Pope Francis' mind on the interconnectedness of man is: “We gorged ourselves on networking, and lost the taste of fraternity (FT, 33).” This is a fabulous turn of phrase that hearkens back to the Pope's desire to see people viewed as persons rather than commodities.As a social encyclical, Fratelli Tutti touches on society, persons, economics, and politics throughout. It is also quite long, in terms of encyclicals. As a social encyclical, it contains several prudential judgments, opinions, and non-definitive ideas; so, it is a bit different from the norm as far as encyclicals go. However, it is highly worth reading, in its entirety. I want to just touch on a few main points here.He begins the document taking swings against globalism, saying:“As I was writing this letter, the Covid-19 pandemic unexpectedly erupted, exposing our false securities. Aside from the different ways that various countries responded to the crisis, their inability to work together became quite evident. For all our hyper-connectivity, we witnessed a fragmentation that made it more difficult to resolve problems that affect us all. Anyone who thinks that the only lesson to be learned was the need to improve what we were already doing, or to refine existing systems and regulations, is denying reality (FT, 7).”The Pope seems to come down squarely against what globalism is doing. He says, in part quoting Pope Benedict XVI:“Local conflicts and disregard for the common good are exploited by the global economy in order to impose a single cultural model. This culture unifies the world, but divides persons and nations, for ‘as society becomes ever more globalized, it makes us neighbours, but does not make us brothers' (FT, 12).”He then proceeds to provide a blistering critique of globalism and attributes to it the growing problem of loneliness. He writes:“We are more alone than ever in an increasingly massified world that promotes individual interests and weakens the communitarian dimension of life. Indeed, there are markets where individuals become mere consumers or bystanders. As a rule, the advance of this kind of globalism strengthens the identity of the more powerful, who can protect themselves, but it tends to diminish the identity of the weaker and poorer regions, making them more vulnerable and dependent. In this way, political life becomes increasingly fragile in the face of transnational economic powers that operate with the principle of ‘divide and conquer' (FT, 12).”The weak and the poor are the object of the Pope's concern, because they are precisely those with the quietest voice in society. And there are those who claim to speak for the poor for their own gain. As we look at the next quote, remember Juan Perón and the Pope's early experiences. He writes:“Lack of concern for the vulnerable can hide behind a populism that exploits them demagogically for its own purposes, or a liberalism that serves the economic interests of the powerful. In both cases, it becomes difficult to envisage an open world that makes room for everyone, including the most vulnerable, and shows respect for different cultures (FT, 155).”The Pope goes on to critique liberal approaches which speak of a respect for freedom without the roots of shared narrative. He says that leftist ideologies linked to individualistic ways of acting are ineffective and leave people in need. He calls for a greater spirit of fraternity as well as a “more efficient worldwide organization to help resolve the problems plaguing the abandoned who are suffering and dying in poor countries (FT, 165).” On first blush, this seems like an endorsement of a form of globalism. But what I think he is saying is that a more global pool of resources is needed to help the poorest nations move into a post-industrial phase. Rather than proposing socialism or a concrete form of globalism, the Pope rightly says:“It also shows that there is no one solution, no single acceptable methodology, no economic recipe that can be applied indiscriminately to all. Even the most rigorous scientific studies can propose different courses of action (FT, 165).”As the document progresses, there are more of the same critiques of trick-down economics, populism, and a materialism which diminishes the dignity of persons. Then, in paragraph 172 and following, Pope Francis enters into the few paragraphs with which I take most issue. He calls for agreements among national governments to form a “world authority regulated by law” which ought to “at least to promote more effective world organizations, equipped with the power to provide for the common good, the elimination of hunger and poverty and the sure defence of fundamental human rights (FT, 172).” I find this problematic because it seems to conflict with the principle of subsidiarity. But then the Pope takes things a step further into waters which I dare not wade. He says:“In this regard, I would also note the need for a reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth' (FT, 173).” The thought of the U.N. with “real teeth” is the stuff of nightmares. Globalist governments do not seem efficient or helpful. To give teeth to an organization which can so easily be ruled by only a few countries with real sway is a recipe for disaster. I think that the U.N. should continue to arbitrate disputes and be a diplomatic force for good, but I am inclined to let their power end there.Comments on the United Nations notwithstanding, Fratelli Tutti brings up a lot of great points worth contemplating. There are several other points with which I would like to have a productive conversation with the Holy Father. But these items do not fall under the category of Faith and Moral teachings of the Church; they are almost completely prudential matters. So, disagreement, within reason and in charity, is perfectly acceptable. Bottom Line: Is Pope Francis a Socialist or a Globalist?Here is my bottom line. Based on what he has taught in his ordinary and universal magisterium, Pope Francis is not a socialist or a globalist. His critics pick up on some sincerely problematic phrasings but are largely uncharitable in their approach. As a private individual, I know that Pope Francis has condemned socialism and communism, but is very sympathetic to those ideas and what they are trying to accomplish. But this does not mean that he is firmly in that camp. He is a harsh critic of capitalism, but he does not seem to be endorsing socialism as a viable alternative.As far as globalism goes, the Pope speaks to the need for adherence to subsidiarity and solidarity, but he also espouses certainly pointedly globalist views, especially regarding international organizations and interreligious cooperation. In my opinion, these actions and especially joint-statements with non-Christian religious leaders are often misleading and imprudent. But the course of this exploration has been his ordinary and universal magisterial teachings. In all things, we must read what people say with charity and an open-mind. Of course, we must do so within reason. As G.K. Chesterton said: “The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.”For a further look at what we here at Good Distinctions mean by being open-minded, check out Episode 3!

This month sees the return of the World Cup retrospective, with the focus being on the 1978 tournament in Argentina, arguably the most controversial World Cup in history. In 1966, Argentina were awarded the rights to host the 1978 World Cup – an honour that was long overdue for one of football's leading nations. However, the deteriorating political, security and economic situation in the twilight years of Peronism, cast doubt over whether Argentina would be able to host the tournament. The military coup of 1976 ushered in a repressive regime, that was determined to crush all opposition and use the World Cup to promote the Argentinian “brand”. However, as the World Cup grew closer, alarm bells rang across Europe about the competition being hosted in a despotic country. Those controversies will be looked at in this episode, as well having a run-down of the 16 finalists. Thanks to https://nationalanthems.info/ for the national anthems.

How did liberationist Christianity develop in Argentina between the 1930s and early 1970s? And how did it respond to state terrorism during the Dirty War? How did liberation theology develop in Argentina between the 1930s and early 1970s? And how did it respond to state terrorism during the Dirty War? Understanding the movement to be dynamic and highly diverse, Pablo Bradbury's book Liberationist Christianity in Argentina (1930-1983): Faith and Revolution (Tamesis Books, 2023) reveals that ecclesial and political conflicts, especially over Peronism and celibacy, were at the heart of the construction of a liberationist Christian identity, which simultaneously internalised deep tensions over its relationship to the Catholic Church. It first situates the rise of a revolutionary Christian impulse in Argentina within changes in society, in Catholicism and Protestantism and in Marxism in the 1930s, before analysing how the phenomenon coalesced in the late sixties into a coherent social movement. Finally, the book examines the responses of liberationist Christians to the intense period of repression under the presidency of Isabel Perón and the rule of the military junta between 1974 and 1983. By exploring these distinct responses and uncovering the heterogeneity of liberationist Christianity, the book offers a fresh analysis of a movement that occupies a major role in the popular memory of the period of state terror, and provides a corrective to narratives that depict the movement as monolithic or as a passive victim of the dictatorship.

By exploring these distinct responses and uncovering the heterogeneity of liberationist Christianity, the book offers a fresh analysis of a movement that occupies a major role in the popular memory of the period of state terror, and provides a corrective to narratives that depict the movement as monolithic or as a passive victim of the dictatorship.

These are the trending news headlines in Argentina on Tuesday March 28, 2023 Argentina marked the 47th anniversary of the US-backed military coup that overthrew the government of President Isabel Martínez de Perón in 1976. The event installed the bloodiest dictatorship in the history of the country, marked by state terrorism and human rights violations. During the seven years and nine months of military dictatorship, Argentine security forces hunted down and silenced anyone believed to be resisting the military junta or associated with socialism, left-wing Peronism, the Montoneros movement, or against the neoliberal economic policies imposed by the military junta. Over 30,000 students, activists, trade unionists, writers, journalists, artists, and any citizens suspected of being left-wing activists were kidnapped, tortured and disappeared. The armed forces seized their property and their babies. Several thousands were killed in the “planes of deaths” and thrown into the Atlantic Ocean or La Plata River. This year, hundreds of thousands of Argentines marched across the country to remember the victims of enforced disappearance and to say "never again." They demanded that the judicial processes against the perpetrators of those horrendous human rights crimes continue, and President Alberto Fernández announced the construction of a new Space for Memory and the Promotion of Human Rights in Campo de Mayo, a military base and one of the secret detention centers used by the military regime.Argentina has banned the sale and import of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products due to their potential harm to health. The Ministry of Health issued a resolution prohibiting the distribution, commercialization, and advertising of these products throughout the country. The ban includes all accessories and cartridges intended for the operation of the devices. The health department cites multiple independent studies that demonstrate the harmful and potentially harmful chemicals produced by these products, including nicotine, which induces dependence and is particularly attractive to children and adolescents. Although e-cigarette consumption in Argentina is low among adults, it has increased alarmingly among adolescents. The ban aims to prevent tobacco initiation in young and non-smoking adults and reduce the enormous impact of tobacco consumption on the country's public accounts. The XXVIII Ibero American Summit, the first to be held in person after the Covid-19 pandemic, concluded with the Declaration of Santo Domingo, which supports Argentina's claim over the Falkland/Malvinas Islands. The document also covered issues such as gender equality, energy transition, and the promotion of Spanish/Portuguese bilingualism. The next gathering is scheduled for Nov. 29, 2024, in Quito, Ecuador. The Ibero-American cooperation action plan for 2023-2026 was approved, including plans for alternative economies, food security, and climate change mitigation. The Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries was admitted as a consultative observer to the Ibero-American Conference. The Quadrennial Action Plan for Ibero-American Cooperation 2023-2026 focuses on strengthening regional cooperation action to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Pablo Pryluka is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History. Prior to Princeton, he did his undergraduate studies at the Universidad de Buenos Aires and earned a master's in History at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. He has received grants from the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (Argentina) and the Fulbright Commission. At the same time, he was an exchange student at the Freie Universität in 2019 and took part in different collaborative projects: he was involved in the Princeton-Humboldt Collaborative project “Contesting and Converging Stories of Global Order: Regional and National Narratives” between 2018 and 2019 and the Global History Summer Schools hosted in Berlin (2017) and Tokio (2019).Pryluka's main fields of interest are modern Latin American History and Global History, with a focus on social and economic history. His dissertation aims to provide a comparative analysis of patterns of consumption and inequality in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile during the state-led industrialization years (1930s-1970s). The dissertation addresses the social performance of state-led industrialization and its impact on inequality, looking at patterns of consumption of three specific consumer goods: refrigerators, automobiles, and televisions. He is interested not only in who had access to these goods, but also both the meanings involved in their consumption and the expectations of consumers in terms of socioeconomic status.
Your Heard Tell for Wednesday, April 27th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on new polling that shows plenty of voters are open to supporting a "moderate, independent presidential candidate" but we contrast that with how folks actually voted in 2020, and are likely to vote again in 2024. The curious case of folks at the height of a COVID-19 outbreak also increasing their complaints to the Yankee Candle Company that their products "didn't have a smell", we'll talk about it as part of our continuing coverage of Long COVID. Guest Agustin Forzani of Young Voices joins us to talk about the politics and current situation in Argentina, and how this resource rich country could be stepping up to help the global food crisis created by the war in Ukraine...if the Argentine government would get out of the way and change their restrictive agricultural policies. Agustin explains the current politics of Argentina, the famous history of Peronism that lingers today even though in a different form, and universal lessons in government policy when it comes to subsidies, trade, and accountability. Also, President Biden has issues his first batch of pardons and clemencies, but two years into his presidency this move brings criticisms of what took so long, why so few, and whether or not the president will live up to his campaign promises of using his power to give non-violent offenders a clean slate and fresh start. We round out the show by talking about the greatest show on dirt, if you will, and a baseball team that is emphasizing the fun in a time where we could all use it.

Charismatic leaders who are intent on governing solely using their charismatic authority and subverting other things to their personal power are inherently bad for democracy and inherently illiberal. They're anti-pluralist. They don't want to share their power with others even within their own movement or their own party. They don't tolerate dissent.Caitlin Andrews-LeeA full transcript is available at www.democracyparadox.com or a short review of The Emergence and Revival of Charismatic Movements: Argentine Peronism and Venezuelan Chavismo here.Caitlin Andrews-Lee is an Assistant Professor in Ryerson University's Department of Politics and Public Administration.

Today I am chatting with Yvonne O’ Halloran. Yvonne is an accredited practising dietitian who has a passion for plant-based nutrition. She completed her studies in Griffith University on the Gold Coast, Australia where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in public health in 2010, followed by a master’s in nutrition & dietetics in 2012. Having gained experience as a private practice dietitian for her first years as a new graduate dietitian, she then started up an online business in 2014. In 2016 she went vegan for both health and ethical reasons and has since spent her time learning about plant-based nutrition by researching the literature, attending plant-based conferences and completing the plant-based nutrition course through e-Cornell university. Yvonne co-founded Living Vegan with her husband that launched early 2019, which is a news and education platform aimed to help people navigate a healthy vegan lifestyle. She is a content writer for various plant-based companies and writes columns on a monthly basis for Vegan Life UK magazine. She is currently working on her first book that will be a sort of vegan starter kit featuring nutrition and psychology-based information which she hopes to complete by early 2021. Yvonne is a mother to 3 healthy, thriving vegan children and currently lives on the Gold Coast, Australia, but she grew up in Ireland. Check out her website www.livingvegan.com Key points addressed were Essential principle of Yvonne’s work with clients regarding acquiring a vegan dietWe also discussed the core basis of both of Yvonne’s books tentatively publishing in Early 2021 and 2022 the first of which is what I surmised to be something of a vegan Bible covering information on every imaginable aspect of the vegan diet and health and the latter of which will address pre-prenatal and pre natal health with a vegan diet This series features conversations I conducted with individuals who have dedicated their work and lives to Vegan research, businesses, art, and society. This podcast series is hosted by Patricia Kathleen and Wilde Agency Media. TRANSCRIPTION*Please note, this is an automated transcription please excuse any typos or errors [00:00:00] In this episode, I speak with dietician and upcoming author Yvonne O'Halloran. Key points addressed were essential principles of Ivana's work with clients regarding acquiring a vegan diet. We also discussed the core basis of both of Enns books tentative in publishing in early 2021 and 2022. The first of which I surmised to be something of a Vegan Bible covering information on every imaginable aspect of the Vegan diet and health, and the latter of which will address prenatal and pre prenatal health with a vegan diet. Stay tuned for my informative talk with Yvonne O'Halloran on a quick technical note. We suffered some audio disturbance, which presents as a subtle pounding noise in the background. But because the issue does abate through most of the interview, our team made the decision to go up with this version rather than delay and rerecord. We appreciate your understanding and know that the interview with Yvonne will be worth putting up with a little static. [00:01:00] My name is Patricia Kathleen. And this series features interviews and conversations I conduct with experts from food and fashion to tech and agriculture, from medicine and science to health and humanitarian arenas. The dialog captured here is part of our ongoing effort to host transparent and honest rhetoric. For those of you who, like myself, find great value in hearing the expertize and opinions of individuals who have dedicated their work and lives to their ideals. If you're enjoying these podcasts, be sure to check out our subsequent series that dove deep into specific areas such as founders and entrepreneurs. Fasting and roundtable topics. They can be found on our Web site. Patricia Kathleen. Com where you can also join our newsletter. You can also subscribe to all of our series on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Pod Bean and YouTube. Thanks for listening. Now let's start the conversation. Hi, everyone, and welcome back. I am your host, Patricia. [00:01:59] And today I'm excited to be sitting down with Yvonne O'Halloran. She's a dietician and her website is w w w dot living Vegan dot com. Welcome, Yvonne. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. I'm excited to kind of think you guys are doing on living Vegan as well as some of your other endeavors. [00:02:17] I know you contribute to weather Vegan outlets, and I'm excited to unpack that with our audience today. For those of you that are on offer, a roadmap for today's podcast. As to other line of inquiry in which way we'll be headed. And then I'll also read a quick bio on Yvonne so that everybody has a very good purview of a little bit of her background. So the roadmap for today's podcasts will look at a Von's academic and professional life that brought her to launching Living Vegan with her partner, live living Vegan dot com. And we'll also look at her Vegan story as it's intertwined. Within that, we'll get into some of the logistics as to when it was launched, how it's curated, if they have sponsorship or funding, any affiliations that they're kind of attached to. We'll look at goals for the site and audience ship and who they're hoping to reach. And just look at unpacking some of those Vegan dialogs in between there. And then I'll turn to also asking her about some of her endeavors with them writing in contribution to different Vegan, things like that. And as I promised before, I start asking even a bunch of questions. A quick bio. Yvonne O'Halloran is an accredited practicing dietician who has a passion for plant based nutrition. She's completed her studies in Griffith University on the Gold Coast, US in Australia, where she graduated with Bachelors Degree in Public Health in 2010, followed by a Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics.

Yvonne is a mother to three healthy, thriving Vegan children and currently lives in the Gold Coast of Australia. But she grew up in Ireland. You can check out more, as I said on her website, w w w dot living Vegan dot com. So, Yvonne, before we start unpacking the site and all of your work within that, I also wanted to tell you I have a bunch of rapid fire questions at the end of this that we've reached out to people who subscribe to our podcast and emails and always ask them questions that they would like. Ask our guests. And as a dietitian, as a Vegan dietitian, we've got a slew of those for you. We'll do those at the very end of the podcast. But before we get to all of that, I'm hoping you can kind of we I just unpacked a great deal of your academic and professional life, but I'm hoping that you can kind of give your own personal narrative as to how you incorporated your academia into what you're doing now with living Vegan dot com. [00:05:26] Yes. So as I said, I graduated in 2012 for the master's in Nutrition Dietetics. And Michael was always defined my name. [00:05:35] I didn't know at the time that I was going to be plumpness nutrition. But I was waiting to see what what I would find. But in 2016, I started to look into the ethical side of what I was eating. And I didn't like what I saw. And it was quite confronting, actually. I think for anybody who looks is actually still fits. It's it's I call it like an awakening for me. It was shocking and that's horrifying. And obviously, when I when I look at the side of it, for me as a dietician, it was very important for me to look at the health side of it. Is this healthy? Is this is this good for me? Is this good for my clients? So I started going down a rabbit hole and I started to speak to campus doctors and research company sectors, other companies, dieticians all over the world. And yeah, I learned a lot. And because in university, you don't really talk much about the nutrition that we basically just touched on it in one class. I think they mentioned veganism and what it was that it was highly restrictive diets and that kind of thing. So I didn't think too much about it back at that time. But I always kind of questioned the dairy industry. I never read he was a huge fan of this and never seemed to sit right with me even when I had to recommend dairy to my clients. I didn't feel right about it, but it was what I was told is unique. So I thought, well, I mean, if this is what I was taught, this is what I'm supposed to do. So, yeah. So I started looking into the dairy industry and things like that, and it was shocking. And the evidence based research that's behind us about the dangers of dairy and how how it's so unhealthy for us. So it's highly inflammatory and it's got dioxins and hormones and estrogens and IGF one, which are all things that we shouldn't be having in their bodies. It's it's far you know, it's far different matter. Like, so. And I also noticed in in my work that a lot of people actually favored cow's milk over, sometimes over, even breastfeeding, which is amazing. So it's just I think it's been so indoctrinated into Intel us for so long that it's actually considered completely normal. Yeah. So I start to dip into it more. And I went off dairy initially for a long time, and I also went off meat meat with something I never really liked. Even as a kid I would break open Arden's. So it was a very meat heavy lifestyle as. As children, like we'd have bacon, encourager, meat and veggies and potatoes. I was everyday and I never I never was a fan of eating these. I didn't even understand back then it was an animal. It just wasn't for me. We as time went on and I started learning more about nutrition, I and I started to see where I was going to go. I am I start looking to Taipei's dieticians and what they were doing to. I realized that there was a big mischer and then something that I was really passionate romance, very excited about. You're doing more. More with that side of things. [00:08:40] Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, it's it's I felt the trend coming more, at least for the United States on a lot of different level economically. A lot of different areas. Sustainability. The new generation Gen I, they're kind of being called right now with just almost this inherent knowledge of is it sustainable? Is it good for the earth? Yes, a bunch of different ways that people were coming at Vegan nutrition. But I definitely and then Kova just kind of at least in the States, it put the conversation and forefront. And then I'd like pinning up much to your line of work. People are really starting to ask themselves. I know so many adults that don't know that there's protein and vegetables, crazy amount of people and wonderful professors that don't know that there's protein and vegetables because it just hasn't been discussed and educated enough. You know, a lot of people on this podcast are doctors who are Vegan because MDA, United States, I'm one of the most hysterical things is that they don't take even one nutrition course or they're not required to to become. And I'm absolutely explained to me that, you know, doctors treat disease and ailments and internal workings. They were never meant to be these these people advising diet. It was not ascribed to their part of work. But for some reason, we all turned to them when we know when we need to prescribe things with diet. For me, I feel like you could not look at medicine without in unison of diet. You know, there's so many diseases that are abated or helped or cured or all of those things from allergies with changing diet that so many documentaries have come out about. So I really think that there's a great use to that. And I kind of wanted to start off by asking you. [00:10:24] Have you ever worked in Congress with an M.D. or like a medical doctor and throughout any of this time period, have you ever had conversations with them and kind of unarrest how much they do or don't know about a healthy diet? [00:10:42] Yeah, well, I have some friends who are doctors, and I've obviously worked in private practice, so I've been exposed to doctors for they really I mean, for the doctors I've spoken to, they really get Minimoog like education and nutrition. [00:10:54] It's very, very, very broad, very minimal. I think it's like four hours in the whole seven years of study to get something like that. So, yeah, it did. Definitely don't understand, like maybe general nutrition a little bit, but it's nutrition for most doctors is completely crazy to them if they just didn't understand it or the. [00:11:15] It's very restrictive and it's what they're just not educated in that area. And I think the doctors who are educating the area actually do really well. I mean, the likes of Dr. Michael Kofman, Dr. Grinton. You know, there's lots of doctors out there, especially in America. They do. They do really well because they've actually looked into the research and they know it's it's effective. You know, Doctor, as a student, he just did a lot of research on heart disease. And these are really well with his patients getting great results. I think the doctors who are more open minded to be with patients when they're looking to progress actressy. [00:11:46] Yeah. And it had generally have been heart disease. [00:11:50] I was going to say there's a kind of a gateway disease which has a horrible term that I just. But as a gateway disease to kind of open up the Vegan conversation. We've spoken with Dr. Joel Kahn over here who is, you know, one of America's premiere's ologists. And I'm a devout Vegan for 30 plus years. And he has such incredible I think that the success of reversing, you know, coronary issues, episodes and disease is one of the most powerful blood in the Vegan attributes, at least over here as well. So it's it's interesting to hear that there's a tandem over in Australia. I one out before we start unpacking living Vegan dot com, which is I love because it's the educational platform. I'm wondering if you can kind of describe I like it. You decide as you can kind of unpack for me. You've got Ireland and then you have Australia and the respective regions that you're from and that you've been to I personally great a longer history as well with Ireland. Dublin has some of the oldest Vegan restaurants of all of the European countries that I visit, which was shocking for me. [00:13:01] And they introduced me to better cheeses than we had in the States for just the United States did not get the memo that Vegan cheese amounts and it was the Greek. It's just, you know, she's out of it. But that aside, that tirades. But I'm wondering if you can kind of describe the latter day, the current day like us or vibe around Vegan. [00:13:31] Dietary consumption in Ireland and Australia right now. Are people open to it? Has it spiked over the past five years? What is your personal take on that? [00:13:42] Well, I have to say, I actually went Vegan while I was in Ireland, which is a bit crazy. [00:13:47] And we move back there for eight months, back in later, Towsend 16, and that's when they actually turned 18. It's definitely more accepted back there now. There definitely are more options like I know for a few more years. And there was actually Vegan options, which I was surprised about. I mean, it's quite ten years ago. [00:14:04] I don't know. I don't know what it had anything to eat back there. So it's definitely open Kofman more mainstream for sure in Australia. It's incredible. Like you could go to. There's so many Vegan restaurants where I am here, the locals, so many options, compas options. [00:14:20] So I feel Australia is definitely ahead. And, you know, comparing to Ireland border to both countries are doing really well. They're getting more becoming more open minded because I feel like the demand is there now. So the restaurants want to meet the demand for the. So there's not really any restaurants I went to in Arden's that didn't offer something Vegan. Now I have to say some places were pretty poor. What was offered water in Australia? It's really incredible. The Vegan auctions are here. Here. Amazing. Very easy to be Vegan in Australia, that's for sure. [00:14:55] Yeah. And eat out. I mean, they're all Vegan restaurants. We were talking off the air before eating, but I was explaining to you that I had just returned as the pandemic kind of set in. On the global scale from Sydney, Australia. And I was actually viewing Vegan restaurant owners there. And just it's an amazing scene. And there's so many people doesn't terrify people. You go to a non Vegan restaurant. I love Vietnamese food and fur and things of that nature. And and any of those communities, you go in and say, you know, it's I needed to be made Vegan or whatever. It's a very popular term. And I would as they always I mean, they're the first for a lot of health trends. And, you know, I learned about a great deal about Crossfade when that hit from the Aussies, even though it was in. And all those things they really embrace and get into it. And I love and then the YouTube about it. [00:15:43] They're prolific YouTube hits, which I have yet to pack. [00:15:48] I'm living Vegan with you now. I read that you launched it with your husband in 2000 and nineteen. So it's still in some it's in C to its target as it's and it's there for education. Can you kind of unpack what inspired you? What's the ethos of you and your husband to launch it and what the site endeavors to do? [00:16:12] For sure. So I am actually had a Web site prior to DEC called Page, which is gone now. That was before I went Vegan. [00:16:19] So I always knew I wanted to kind of work predominantly online because we travel quite a lot as well. So online, it seems to me. Then obviously once I would Feig and I wanted to change my Web site to be happy. So me, myself, my husband were very passionate about the Vegan movement. So we wanted to do something that would, you know, help help people to get there, to have a healthier lifestyle and to understand the education side of it, like basically a platform that had everything because there are platforms out there that are more use based kind of. [00:16:50] But I wanted to see how the educational component as well. So and that's how we came up with the BBC and we thought it was a bit of a dairy name because I think a lot of people shy away from the word Vegan like we kind of considered doing something like more campus, but then we decided, no, you know what this is? This is about veganism. Let's just let's just face this and and let's have our, you know, a good name that people under it, as soon as they see the name, they know exactly what it is. [00:17:16] So that's that's how we coined the term living big and that's how we came up with it. And so initially when it was launched into Taza 19, I had just had my first daughter. So I was pretty busy. So it was more news based initially because I was busy with my daughter and my sleepless nights. But as time went on, I got more involved. So now I'm and I'm very involved in and I'm trying to do more educational stuff to try and help people to learn. You know, it's not that hard to be Vegan. I find the first four months of being Vegan can be quite challenging for people because they're just generally even if they're highly motivated, they just do not know what to eat because we've been educated to eat, you know, certain food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for, you know, 20, 30 years. It's very hard to change. So it takes a lot of guidance and motivation and have I think once people get over to treat formants, don't they tend to be OK? You know, most people. So that's how we do it. We design the packages and them aiming towards that. Now, I'm actually going to update the packages this year. I'm going to offer more dietician focus packages, you know, like consultations and guidance over a longer period, six to twelve months and things like that. So the packages are going to be updated soon. But it was basically just to. I wanted to be there to help people, I find a lot of women who are pregnant. [00:18:44] It is specifically the go to the doctor to tell them their Vegan and the doctor scares the life and says, you know, you need to eat eggs and usually have meat for your baby. This and all these people are like, I don't know what to do. My doctor says, I need to eat this. [00:18:59] So I just felt like there was a huge pressure. People just need some help. They need some guidance in this lifestyle. [00:19:06] That's why I am going to write a book about which we can talk about it or read a book about Vegan pregnancy. [00:19:12] I'm excited to Vegan pregnancy. Yeah, it's in the book and all the information. We need a ton more Vegan dietitians out there because men are one thing that people are terrified of is their nutrition and they need an expert opinion assuring them you, Isaac, your steps. I mean, I fancy myself a wildly educated woman. And when I became I turned to the worst like junk food Vegan that there was this prenup frozen, preserved, but didn't even live like that before. But it was just this Hypercom, like, I've got something ready made in the fridge. And it's it's I think it was just that lack of having the expert advice. OK, I want to go back to asking you about that, the packages a little bit more because it feels like so for me, as I was saying about my own education and things of that nature and needing dietitians, it's a tenuous line. [00:20:15] You would have to dance because I feel like people are capable of getting P.H. and things, but not upfront, you know, and having this onslaught of information on diamonds and minerals, even if you have a great deal of that information, keeping it all straight in your index, when you're switching diets over, how do you navigate tenuous line between educating just enough for your clients to feel empowered but not too daunted with just too much information? [00:20:42] Know, I definitely think less is more. I think if you go too deep. People just get scared off, like because nutrition is so complex for most people. [00:20:54] Mostly people just want the basics. They just want to understand. You know, for example, how do I get my B twelve or, you know, what is vitamin D or you know, they just want basic stuff. They don't want you to dove too deep because for most people that's too much. So what I have to try to do is keep it very simple. I find, you know, as a dietician, you have to learn all the complex, deep stockman and then you have to really get back really simply to your comments. So that's basically what I do. So, you know, I do a lot of email consultations as well, which is actually very popular. People prefer people love to do e-mail concerns because they don't actually I don't know what is, but they don't actually speak to me. Exactly. They just email me to all the details and then they ask me all questions and I look to their meal plan or I look to what they eat and everything. And then I suggest what they should eat. And I send them a meal plan and then I give money, information I need. And a lot of it is just basic questions. Like the most common questions are where do I get my protein, which is a crazy person. You know, what is beach one? You know, am I going to get nutritional deficiencies or if I'm pregnant, you know, as my baby go to grow. Things like this, it's really, really basic stuff, you know, as a dietitian. But it's stuff of people need reassurance. [00:22:07] Absolutely. And it's empowering someone and, you know, give them those informations and be in the United States. I'll say that culturally, I'm speaking just for my own country. And particularly among women or women identified individuals that I encounter, there's a great deal of defense even around somebody who feels very confident about their way of life. You know, when you start to top it, there's it's deeply interwoven. It's very, very personal and food obvious and do so much more than, say, it's attached to our heritage, to our ideas of love and reward and all sorts of crazy things psychologically for you. I mean, these are things that you must have to consider. You know, when you're kind of encountering your clients and best how to serve them and things like that, it makes sense. [00:22:54] The email part of it, I'm like, oh, that sounds more not it sounds less judgmental, you know, to be able to write it out of you write it. I think there's a great deal of emotion that goes into food that you kind of have to unpack as well. When I got on your site and this is part is this actually plays into that concept as well. As you know, great big picture with Vegan dietitians and things like that. Like you have education, you know the aspect of that. Then you have implementations to your site, has recipes, news. And I'm wondering I love how I love the curation of the news that you have selected that you did for that site. How do you do that? [00:23:34] What's your curation process for how you kind of select which news you want to represent? I'm living. [00:23:40] It's hard because there's obviously so many stories every day could write 100 stories a day. So you really have to be specific, be specific and pick what you think is going to attract the audience and bring them in. [00:23:52] I suppose I find ethical stuff really brings in the audience stuff about animal welfare or, you know, stuff about somebody who went Vegan on the health results they got from that. Things like that. I find that people really are drawn to. So I think what I do is I see I go on the Vegan news alerts, you know, to Goob and I research all of the Web sites to do news stories. And, you know, I constantly looking to the Internet, trying to find, you know, the most recent story of what's happened or, you know, I go to attract my audience is going to be a good read for them, is going to educate them vertical to learn anything from this. [00:24:30] So things about, you know, like I said about animals, Udalls, something ethical, something that's, you know, you know, it's something that happens to animals and plants and animals, slaughterhouse or abuse or in the Persian farm, things like that. People are like, oh, you know, it really brings them in. And I find the visual stuff as well as very effective. You know, so if you post a picture with text underneath about animal welfare or something, people really it really hits them. And I find that I am getting a lot of people e-mailing me saying, you know, the picture you put up really struck me and I did more research and now I want to go Vegan, which I do. So it's it's obviously working know it's it's affecting people in a positive way, Brooke. Probably I mean, it hurts to see it, but we need to look because what do we look or we don't it's still happening. So what I want to do is bring awareness to this because it's happening every single second of every single day. And we're the ones that are giving it the power to consumers. So if we change what we buy, then the shops are going to have to change what they provide. [00:25:31] You know, so it's the knowledge is power, I to say so, yeah. So it's working. Kind of. [00:25:40] I went with the you mentioned a little bit about, you know, during the curation process and looking at impact and things like that. And I just interviewed the founder and president of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk, and I was and do you affiliate with organizations such as PETA or PETA itself or other things based out of Australia, or do you kind of keep living? Vegan dot com, like a little bit more separate. [00:26:09] Yeah, I keep it, I pretty much keep it separate, I'm not really affiliated. I've been approached by many companies to post, you know, ads on my side. [00:26:18] So that's enough for now. I'm not doing that because I feel like if the site is full of all these affiliations and all these ads kind of takes from the information. So for now, I'm just keeping a nice team and doing it myself and, you know, people like that. But you don't who knows in the future what would happen. But for now, it's just living Vegan on. So do many. [00:26:40] I love it, too. I mean, it's very simple. You know, you have resources, recipes in your packages. It's it's very, very clean. Even the recipes, the pictures, they're very easy to digest. [00:26:52] What I'm looking at, it is like I really appreciate that. I think a lot of people do in their clutter, you know, to do just kind of like I think down to axiomatic, like core principles is right. So I kind of wanna talk about your work. And before we dove into the book that you are currently writing, I want to talk about the work that you submit to. I wouldn't be surprised if there's like some Segway is there from Healthy for a Vegan Life U.K. magazine as well. Some places in tribute writing to keep your roles there. And like what genera and veganism do you speak to? Obviously, the dietician is going to come into play, but do you have a roadmap that you follow for those different magazines? [00:27:36] And Sobecki about was about a year ago, I approached I approached from a five magazines and offered to write some content for him. And big, in my view, you were interested. [00:27:47] So ever since I've been writing Monkey Country contributing monthly to them and sometimes to give meaning to topic, and sometimes I decide on topics. So it could be anything from, you know, pregnancy, breastfeeding. What is V12? How to boost your libido, you know, Vegan diets and skin health, things like that. You know, so it's it's very varied, but it's very interesting. And I really like to write. So I noticed and yeah, I get like a full two pages in their magazine every month, so it's great. [00:28:18] I think everyone should require their dietician to be like a writer as well, because. Because it's keeping you up eight and soaps, halloumi, all of you Certina, any time someone's contributing to any monthly platform or anything like that with content, writing, YouTube and whatever, I'm I'm much more prone to think that their current, you know, and that's the idea. Yeah. Because I'm with their past principles and things like that, nothing's current. Medical books aren't updated too frequently. [00:28:46] You know, no nutrition is ever changing. We learned so much to learn all the time. So when you have to write content, you obviously have to do a lot of research. So you're like you said, you're current, you're up to date, you're learning. I'm always learning as a dietician. You never stop learning. You're learning every day. [00:29:03] So, yeah, it's important. I think that's exciting. [00:29:08] Okay, so I want to kind of get into the book. I love, like previews and I love being on the front end of that. So what can you tell us about it? It's it's about Vegan pregnancy, prenatal about. So yeah. [00:29:21] So I've got two books and two books. So one I'm hoping to launch early next year. That is see the reason it's like a resource type Vegan and starter tool kit book. [00:29:31] So it's going to be very illustrative, very graphic, lot like not graphic, lots of bad pictures, very easy to read, colorful, bright. You know, it's not just going to be text. It's going to be very easy to read book. So this is basically going to be talkable, all the nutrients in detail. We talk about different diseases like chronic diseases, autoimmune diseases, talk fatuity, you have breastfeeding, pregnancy, all these topics to be covered. And then there's also going to be a psychology side of this as a psychologist based. So I had a psychologist help me out. Would it have been a content as well? So there's a lot to promote speciesism and things like that about animal welfare and all of that. So it's very comprehensive, very, very interesting. And it's really for people who are thinking about going vegan, there's a lot of stuff about getting started as a vegan, like a weekly meal plan, shopping, what you should buy at the shops, you know, documentaries, you should watch all that stuff. [00:30:26] But it's also for people who are Vegan long term big and they just want to know more about the benefits of it. And, you know, why is it good for my health? And, you know, I go into a talk with a lot of dairy in the book. You don't need to know what's in it, like bad animal protein or some protein, all that kind of stuff. So it's really, really exciting. It's a really interesting book and I'm very excited to get it put together. [00:30:49] So that's how we treat the Vegan best. So Vegan I love it. I've covered everything I normally say, but where is the action item? Where's the implementation? You know, a lot of people who author Vegan books either go one side or the other. It's all recipes and No. A scientific study and no implementation. And I'm like, there's like a a good mixture. [00:31:15] Yeah. What do I do with this? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Obviously the second book is will probably not be ready to about twenty two, but that's the problem. Vegan pregnancy. [00:31:25] So that's I have started it but I'm in the very early stages. So the first movie, the Vegan starter to Bible and the second one would be the bigger pregnancy the following year probably. So you're working on two books. [00:31:38] That sounds flagship. I have not heard of it and I haven't done a search, so maybe there's a few out there, but it's taboo. And, you know, you kind of mentioned that earlier, but I have four children and know vegetarianism alone. But Vegan to certain obis, it was actually the way I vetted getting an OPG Y and, you know, it was pregnant, a new one. I mean, I was at a bit while I was forming my family and it's it's a rocky road. Have some. Oh yeah. Thousands of babies in their lifetime. Look at you and say you're going to damage yourself and your child. You know. I think they're all crucial to get information out there, and I haven't heard of any books and I certainly are certain that we weren't any on when I was doing my gestation. It's really. Can you tell us a little bit about, like some of the elements you're going to include in that? [00:32:30] Yeah, so like I said, it's in the very early stages. Look, I basically just want I want women to know a lot of women. It's basically to be for women who are considering getting pregnant, who are Vegan, because obviously nutrition partners in nutrition begins before conception. [00:32:44] So this book isn't just for why you're pregnant prior to as well or just people who are interested in you, what you eat while you're pregnant to begin to how to be healthy. So it's just I want to walk through all the nutrients, you know, what's important and how much you should be having and also obviously the sources of these foods. So people will have to be trying to figure it out for themselves and then maybe comparing, you know, Vegan pregnancies to not be the pregnancies and things about, you know, certain like fish. Fish is highly toxic and they can pass all that, all lots of Kompass to the baby through your placenta. A lot of women don't understand or realize that. So, you know, dove to all of that as well. Like the difference between animal protein and this protein in pregnancy. [00:33:31] Yeah. So it's like I said, it's very early on in money in my chapter one. So it's what it's going to be an exciting book and it's going to be everything in there. [00:33:41] It's going to be important for a woman who is having a baby and wants to have a healthy pregnancy and ensure she's got no nutritional deficiencies. Obviously talk with supplementation as well, because when you're pregnant, you do need to supplement to ensure that you're getting everything that you need. [00:33:56] So that's also going to be good. I'm excited because I've had so sorry. I've had so many women emailed me in the last bubbles months. [00:34:07] I've had a lot of women email me about the third week of pregnancy and, you know, just concerns and stuff. So I feel like this book is is is a must. It's very important for sure. [00:34:17] Absolutely. I think that it's going to be a game changer for me. I'm going to push it out to everybody I know, because I women's health is so under and over. You know, it's not just the states. Like every country I've gone to, all of the health studies have been done largely on men, you know, and we don't have the same as we're all discovering. But I think it's it's so imperative. Little research until the fertility crisis hit, we really didn't understand a whole lot about pregnancy, which is amazing because it's responsible for the propagation of our species. You think you'd be the most funding out there? Well, we have more patients about erectile dysfunction than we have. So I know that's true that I'm wondering if you can kind of enumerate for me. You have these two books that are on the horizon, but where do you see some of the trends within the Vegan like diet alter heading? I'm kind of speaking to, I guess, products in particular. There was that huge push on net milks and things like that in the USA economy and things. When soy people were getting there, there was arguments about soy being bad and so everyone trying to net. But then there's no allergies. It's all about oatmeal. You know, Starbucks is getting oatmeal and everyone's oatmeal fanatics and things like that. But I'm wondering if you can kind of point towards because it's your it's your science and your trade and your education. Do you feel like there will be a return to, like a whole food Vegan diet? Or do you think there's going to be more of these, like foam meats and things like that as as this next five years kinds of unfolds? [00:36:02] Yeah, I think a lot of these big companies can see, you know, where it's going. And where the money might be. And so I think there's going to be a lot of food meets and a lot of process to Vegan food. I mean, as a Vegan, I say, look, you know, in moderation, small amounts of processed foods and treat fruits are fine. [00:36:19] But I feel like like you said when you started your Vegan journey to get a lot of that process still, as I think most vegans do. So I think the trick is to teach food. And that's okay in the short term when you're learning for, you know, a new one. But over time, you need to push more towards the whole food trampas approach because that's the healthy diet. That's I don't I call it a diet. That's the healthy lifestyle. Let's have the Vegan. I says eat wholesome campus. So, yeah, I think to be the junk food thing is going to shoot through the roof because I think these big companies who have a lot of money are just see where it's going and they know that that's where they're going to. They want to do well. So they've got to be another option, which is good for us both. We need to just ensure that we don't go crazy on the stuff. You know, focus more on Whole Foods than this. [00:37:05] Yeah. I mean, for all of a lot of American economy, you know, there's billions of dollars being funded into this like impossible burger and faux me. And I don't think they all have it bad. In fact, I think with a boom in the industry, they'll they'll actually be these ones that are a little bit less perfect for you. I do want there to be a return to conversation about, you know, something being good for you. You know, being. Real food and not a bunch of preserved goals that are animal based, but still are really bad for the human body. All right. I want to turn towards we've covered your goals with these books and things like that. And now, I mean, to have you indulge me, if you would, with about 10 questions from our audience that we're very curious to find out. [00:37:52] I've boiled down about 50. So for everyone listening questions, but I could I coagulated them, if you will. I correlated them together. So the number one is a lot of people ask about how do you personally start educating someone and about Vegan nutrition. [00:38:10] Do you have like a top five? A lot of people were like, what are her top five? You know, like most important key concepts to understand about nutrition and the Vegan. [00:38:18] Do you have any. [00:38:22] Yeah, well, OK. So basically, when people are I have ever heard of. Melanie Joy to psychologist when Joy. [00:38:31] She kind of turned Peronism and she talks about the trillions of justifications so people feel that what they're eating is normal, natural or necessary. [00:38:40] So it kind of. [00:38:42] And when someone comes to me and a new Vegan or they want to be in a kind of you have to kind of touch on that stuff. [00:38:47] So you actually start with the psychology side of it. You know that it's it's just it's been so ingrained in this for so long that we believe in it so much in this story. But in fact, it's none of those. So I usually kind of talk a bit about speciesism. [00:39:06] And all of that stuff. But at nutritionally, I take the top five, I would probably focus on what protein is a big one, even though for me it's one of the easiest ones, because basically, if you're if you're eating enough calories is a big beacon, you're getting enough protein. [00:39:20] It's that simple. Unless you have, like an eating disorder or something, then you've got to protein pretty much. I mean, also necessary. And Chris Taito is every day. Chris, every day. Sorry. That's Irish. Irish for Chris. We are hearing a pretty well balanced diet. Proteins on issues, subprojects formidable because you just need to about two weeks. People always ask the second one would be big twelve because people are concerned. How we get eaten up as a big red. Generally, I recommend everybody supplemented beachwear finisher. Really. They can really focus on eating fortified foods every day at the same amount. You know, it's just so much easier to take a spray of V12 every day. So would you recommend that vitamin D would probably another one. [00:40:04] Because as a beacon, you don't you don't get any very deep through your diet. So you need to obtain it either to supplement or from the sun. So we talk about that a bit. [00:40:16] So protein vitamin D. and it'll make a series of mega cheese would be the next one of thing to dissolve. Is this the fourth? I'll make it through so healthy fats. So basically, people are worried about, you know, if I don't eat fish, what's going to happen? Malcolm, you're going to have the fat spill. What you don't realize is that fish contains a lot of dioxins and these are mad. And all this stuff that you read, you don't want your body and omega 3s fish to get. I make a cheese from reentry into water. So if you take a rain, I'd be happy supplement. You're gonna get the same omega 3s of the fish conserving what I'm consuming the fish, take out the middleman as such. So Marina B or you can just take, you know, almost two seeds, hemp seeds and stuff. So I'm Vegan three years out of the womb. And then I would probably go with iron. [00:41:02] I think I'm a few people as well. [00:41:04] So, you know, some people are more exposed to no iron levels when they're Vegan. But I think once you focus on eating foods containing ARED, then you do want to do OK. You know, like cooking your spinach. And having that every day or having lots of leafy greens, beetroot, blackstrap molasses, things like that, dried apricots, all that kind of thing. Ungood, stuff like that book. Some people will need to supplement bananas. Well, it depends on your art levels. But I always recommend to begins to get a low test maybe every six to 12 months, especially as a new Vegan just to ensure that everything is going as it should do. [00:41:45] So they will probably I think that's fine. Make 3D printing doesn't fit. [00:41:53] I'm wondering. And so we had another question along that same line and people were asking if you personally subscribe to a specific brand or kind of Vegan multi vitamin. There's millions out there. [00:42:04] And I think sifting through the right ones and there's a lot of people that worry about certain areas that one is obtaining their vitamins like organic Vegan vitamins and things like that. What are your thoughts on that? Or do you have one that you recommend to your clients? [00:42:19] When I recommend art wise? I take flooding sort if you have an eye over America, Florida, it's Nordics and Sparta. One is something that I recommend because Fashloom is just like a liquid art. [00:42:31] It has no side effects. It doesn't cause constipation or anything like that. And it's very easy to take even for kids. So that's a really good aren't supplements. And then there's a product over here called by a sushi. Those if you happen over there, maybe not. Yeah. Yeah. So that's that's the range I try Mike for me. One of the things I quite like my sentiments now. I don't think they're actually organic. What did you can get organic even better. Something always organic is better. [00:42:57] You have Salu grow your own. We're very big up gardens right now in the States. I mean, there. Has a lot of different things that it's launched. But one of my favorite that I proudly contributed to is a vertical garden. Oh, wow. Yeah. Fornia. And space is on the ocean and prized possessions. So you don't donate your lawns to gardens. It's good they go up. [00:43:23] Very good. Now, I take I'm sorry there's a delay. I think self-sufficiency is definitely the future. I have been growing your own products. Your own crops is definitely the way to go, even for people like me. [00:43:36] And I always try to express my audience is sick of hearing me say it, but I feel like the only thing I can help thriver children like plants die on me. I'm not the greatest at that. I don't understand why I buy the fertilizer. I do the research, but I can actually. So if I can do it, everyone can. It's out there. [00:43:56] Yeah. Yeah. [00:43:57] Can two people ask if what the most important books are resources for you. Where do you glean a lot of your knowledge from? How do you stay up to date. Do you posture like your protheses and then go Fedder out the information, or do you have like these news feed rolls that you get it from? [00:44:17] Well, I do. I spend a lot of time on progress. Twitch's has on the latest journal articles. So as a dietician, I have access to that. [00:44:24] I mean, I'm sure I know people probably four, too, but I think you do have to pay up. See, I remembered Dieticians Association of Australia, so I'm on that every day. You know, that is Atkins for this year and stuff. [00:44:37] But, um, also, like I said, I read for four people. I suggest they read books by campus doctors, you know, Dr. Gregor and Dr. Kofman or Colin Campbell. And there's some great books out there to China study. I highly recommend to your audience How Not to Die. All those books are really good. Read, read, educational, fantastic book. Basically for me it's more of the journal articles so I can read information from and if I hear something about new new research that's come out, then I go in and investigate myself, medical journals, different issues. And so sometimes I might hear it from somewhere else or someone else post about it, or a different dietician or different doctor. And then I go in and learn about research and sense. Yeah. So it's it's a constant study, constant, constant study. As a dietician, you you're always working on studying all this, trying to keep up to do. It's ever changing. [00:45:30] Yeah. Ours. I wonder there are put in and asked about how you personally and your private practice, what is the most common reason that people are looking for your assistance is you people come to you for weight loss, disease, sitting them until what is like. Is there a larger category than others as to why people consult you and are turning Vegan? [00:45:56] Well, I would say the main thing is health wise would be chronic disease, so tied to it. I just got diagnosed with Type two diabetes. [00:46:03] My doctor said, if you're going to get a heart attack, I don't change my diet or put a huge amount of people as well for weight loss. So a lot of people like, are you go Vegan, but I want to lose 20 kilos or 40 pounds. [00:46:17] Yes. So I think chronic disease maybe would be the reason. And then I cassadaga a lot of women asking questions about being in pregnancy. So they're probably the main main ones. Women with young children who have been told by their doctor that a child needs strong cow's milk to be healthy and stuff like that. So I try to educate them, teach them, and obviously, like so generally Cosulich recommended for one one year old. Well, basically, I recommend Stop the Child Once to finish breastfeeding and see breast all as best as long as possible. Once the child's finished breastfeeding, we recommend to unsweetened soy milk. Organic soy milk is as close to an cowslip without all the bad stuff. And or I can repeat with Campina, which is also good, but that's only after the child's turn. One would recommend that APC's comes with a tiny constipating two babies and children. So it's not recommended. [00:47:13] Absolutely. I we had a bunch of people learning that you were a Vegan parent right in. And they were wondering about how you personally, because you have so much information. How do you educate your children and kind of arm them with the proper amount of information, given their respective young ages, you know, to your can handle very little. Eleven year old can handle a lot. But how many them and things like that. How do you kind of provide them with information for when they socialize. [00:47:45] Yeah. So basically one of my obviously my youngest is fifteen and so she has no idea yet. I have a tree and a half year old and almost five year old. [00:47:53] So they're they ask a lot of questions when we bought a lot of books about veganism and you know, to teach children in a very easy way, why were Vegan and stuff like that? Do you understand that? It's amazing. They're so accepting of it. And you know that dad told people we don't eat animals because we love them. We want to be happy. It's very cute. But I didn't tell them about you know, I explained to them that we need to look after our bodies and healthy foods from the flesh of animals that is good for our bodies. And it's not so nice for the animals because they have suffered and they understand the green, leafy green vegetables and colorful fruits and vegetables are very good for their bodies. And they're very aware. And you know that to be not your move to understand. It's it's a really good, good way to start them in their life, to understand the importance of healthy plants and, you know, not. It's enough to see, you know, some people say, oh, you know what? You're restricting your child and you shouldn't. It's not fair. We like people who are raising their child or niece or are not teaching or childhood. If it's coming from one teacher teaching, why should it? Since coming from so, I believe that you can only guide them a certain amount. And once the research reach a certain age, it's going to be up to them. So I'm hoping that what I've taught them would be enough for them to continue on campus. So I agree. Yeah, they're pretty knowledgeable for their age, so I'm pretty happy like it. [00:49:14] I always tell people it was. It was. Sounds terrifying. Is actually an open door opens a door for me to link other principles and core core values that my family employs, you know, compassion and ability. Global citizenship. You know, these ideas about know what we can't see. It doesn't mean it's not still happening. Yeah. So it allowed me I used it as, you know, as an opportunity and continued to, you know, and also to reexamine my own dialog. We're doing, as any parent will tell you, is that's the main thing with having children. It allows you to just completely reexamine your relationship with some once thought, you know, first year. Yeah. I go I to find it as a source of education. And, you know, I think that having a child and they really in childhood, they are forming a relationship and bringing that to the forefront, that you are building a relationship with food, whether or not knowledge it, every adult world has a billion relationships with food. Absolutely. And unhealthy and sudden realize that as you're doing it, bring it to cognition is. Aw, that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. OK. So the final obvious question and that we had a ton of people ask about and so I'm going to ask the kind of broad and let you just go where you want with it. But it was naturally about Cobbett, the teen pandemic. And there's so many different facets and I don't ascribe lineage or blame to any country. There's a ton of talk about what markets, particularly with begins, and that's fine. And, you know, I have my own private foundation there with what I believe. But you as a dietitian. Again, because you have a lot of people coming in with health that there will be eventually, you know, people coming in wanting to prevent Koven and things like that, moving forward as a reason why they're consulting with you. But do you a sound bite that you offer people who do have clients currently, they ask you about it. You have anything that you can kind of state about diet and things like pandemic's, you know, or the current state of Cauvin that you advise people with regularly. [00:51:24] So are you waiting in order to boost immune system, prevent coded or post covered worlds? You have that like all of it. You know, good advice you have. [00:51:36] Yes, well, obviously, as a stronger your immune system, the less likely you are to catch anything. So if you're healthy and you eat an antiinflammatory diet and you get plenty of rest and you know, you exercise and you eat lots of fiber and colorful organic whole foods, you're going to be much more likely to fight off poverty if you patches or maybe prevent yourself from getting because the stronger immune system that's like you to catch things. Bacteria, viruses, salt. [00:52:05] And in terms of the post-Cold War, the world still I mean, you know, like you said, people put blame on things like I really believe that the factory farming and all that stuff is is obviously always taught or is wrong. But after the cold. But it just shows that, you know, it's risky. What we're doing, what we're doing is risky. I mean, animals carry diseases. You've got animals, not even wet markets. We're just inside and these chicken houses and all cooped up together. They got diseases and they're sick and, you know, there's a risk of passing on stuff to humans. You know, so I just think that that kind of food is not we wanted to put it in your body. So I think. Stay away from it. Stay away from animals products even more so ethical that I need a morsel. I definitely wouldn't be wanting to eat animal products after after Kofman 19. [00:52:59] But, yeah, just generally, there's not really anything specific. But just keep your immune system healthy. Just easy eating a healthy, wholesome thomkins diet, exercising every day, getting enough sleep. Not too much stress because people find this very stressful. [00:53:14] This whole thing is very stressful. When you're stressed, you're more likely to catch things. So you need to do what you need to do. Yoga, meditation. Take a hop wrestle for. Do whatever works readable. We live in a very stressful world and I read a post code. I find paper even more niche, more anxiety. More people are just scared. And also it's very important to look out for mental health and physical health. [00:53:39] Absolutely. I couldn't agree more. Well, Yvonne, we are out of time, but I want to say thank you so much for taking the time today and giving us all of your information. I am Perman woman and I will circle back around once your book goes up and you are on your tour to be part of that circuit so that our audience can have this follow up with the first the the first Vegan Bible, as I've turned it. [00:54:03] Maybe that would be the new thing. Do you have a title for it? No, my guess. OK. What do I do now? [00:54:12] The app. Don't call it that. I would do that. Should they name people can look it up first and then the subsequence, you know, pregnancy and begin and pre pregnancy and Vegan fertility and Vegan, you know, all of those areas that book I will keep pestering you for as well. But thank you so much for giving us your time today. No problem. Thanks for having me on. It's good for everyone listening. We've been speaking with Yvonne O'Halloran and she's a dietician. You can find out more about all of her work. I assume her future books will be posted there as well. It's w w dot living Vegan dot com. [00:54:48] And thank you for sharing your time with us today and with myself personally. Please stay safe, eat responsibly and clean and always bet on yourself. Slainte.
We discuss Peronism with Argentine historian Julian Giglio and American journalist Ian Mount. Plus bad translations in Spanish of American films and series titles.
Geçmişten Gelen'de bu hafta: "Arjantin Darbeleri" Arjantin'de ordunun rolü nedir? Peronizm nasıl doğdu ve kitleleri nasıl peşinden sürükledi? Ordu neden Peronizm'e karşı? Arjantin siyasal hayatı ve ekonomi nasıl ilişkilendirilebilir? Bu ve bunun gibi birçok sorunun cevabı podcastimizde bulabilirsiniz.
In this episode I talk with Victoria Martínez. She is a English teacher based on Buenos Aires, Argentina. We talk about Peronism, Posadism, anarchist bakery, feminism, gay liberation and indigenous rights.
Fernandez, a Peronist inherits 50% inflation & balance of payments crisis. Its called Socialism.
2019 has been a whirlwind of upheaval around the world: the rocky U.S.-China trade relationship, tiny Guyana’s oil bonanza, protests in Hong Kong, the return of Peronism to Argentina, growing cyberwarfare and worldwide attacks on press freedom. It begs the question – what does 2020 have in store? We identified the top five trends we believe will shape the international political stage in 2020: citizen unrest, the decline of the West, the climate emergency, end of privacy as we know it, and the new face of trade. Joining us to debate this list, prolific author and journalist David Rothkopf peers into the crystal ball and discuss the global issues to track in the coming year. Rothkopf served as U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade during the Clinton Administration and is also a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. https://altamar.us/a-look-ahead-where-is-2020-going/ Follow us on Twitter and Facebook ----- Produced by Simpler Media
On December 10, Argentina will inaugurate Alberto Fernandez as President amid a medley of economic woes: recession, inflation, poverty, foreign debt and currency devaluation. But how the longtime previously-behind-the-scenes political operative for the Peronist party plans to tackle the crisis remains a mystery. Fernandez was vague and elusive about his proposals on the campaign trail. Ben Gedan, director of the Woodrow Wilson Center's Argentina Project and former South America director on the National Security Council at the White House, explains what we can expect from the incoming administration. Despite Fernandez’s decisive victory over center-right incumbent Mauricio Macri, there are more questions than answers about the direction he will take the South American giant. https://altamar.us/unsteady-argentina/ Follow us on Twitter and Facebook ----- Produced by Simpler Media
The first episode of Andy's newest side project focusing on Latin American politics and history, Talkin' 'Tina! BreadTuber BAD EMPANADA joins us to talk about the upcoming elections in Argentina that will return Kirchernismo to power after four years of Mauricio Macri's neoliberal buffoonery, but can left-populist Peronism walk the country back from the brink of economic collapse, or will there be a new insurrection like in 2000? And who do the Posadists support? After that we discuss the life and politics of Che Guevara and the claims that he was a blood-soaked homophobic murderer. We talk about the excesses of the Cuban government, the extent of Che's role in them, and some of our favorite stories of the revolution and after.

Today’s episode will be about Juan Perón and his complicated legacy!Against all odds, Donald Trump succeeded in challenging political elites during the presidential campaign. He had not yet won the election, but commentators already struggled to find historical examples to explain the appeal of his vociferous movement. On 11 August, the Financial Times ran an article titled: “Donald Trump Evokes Latin America’s Old Style Strongmen.” The article was illustrated with cartoons of Trump, Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez, and, yes, Perón. Many followed. “Is Donald Trump a Peronist?” “It’s What Perón Sounded Like.” This time, analysts’ emphasis was not only placed on government intervention in the economy, but on the supposed political irrationality of the lower classes: under economic duress, blue-collar workers—allegedly unlike bankers or dentists—are prone to support demagogues who trick them into believing that there are easy shortcuts to their daily hardshipsWhere did those images associated with Perón come from? How did they arrive in the United States in 2009 or 2016? Many of them were born in the mid-1940s in remote places like León Segovia’s house in the Chaco territory, a region in northern Argentina, eight hundred miles from Buenos Aires. On 9 December 1946, Segovia received a letter with a presidential seal and the signature of President Juan Perón. Segovia was a welder at Las Palmas, a sugar mill that belonged to an Irish couple until a traditional Argentine family bought both it and the entire town. Housing, food, drink, currency—everything was provided by the mill. Of criollo descent and indigenous features, Segovia did not even use the official Spanish language at home.4 Although fluent in Spanish, he spoke mostly Guaraní—a language spoken by native inhabitants of the Chaco Forest—with his parents and friends. Three aspects of Segovia’s life were deeply entangled with the larger national community: he was a member of his union, he had had run-ins with the National Gendarmerie, and he had voted for Colonel Juan Perón in the presidential elections. His decision to vote for Perón seemed an unlikely one, given that his socialist union had supported the republic in the Spanish Civil War and the Allies in World War II, while Perón was a nationalist who revered Spanish Falangism and belonged to a group of officers with Nazi sympathies. In the official letter, President Perón notified Segovia that he had been selected as a student in the training course for diplomatic worker attachés.5 It was a new position within the Argentine foreign service that Perón created a few weeks after taking office. Along with Segovia, approximately one hundred rank-and-file union members received similar letters. The General Confederation of Labor (cgt) had selected its most valued activists to represent Argentina abroad. A few months later, leaving the country for the first time in their lives, Segovia and forty other labor activists traveled to embassies worldwide with the mission of spreading Perón’s gospel of social revolution. Originating from the small towns of the countryside and the crowded working-class suburbs of Buenos Aires, the attachés were stationed in Washington, São Paulo, Moscow, Bogotá, and Paris, “as [Perón’s] personal representatives beyond the national borders.” Over the following decade, five hundred labor activists became members of the Argentine foreign service. Self-described as Perón’s proud foot soldiers, they represent the largest presence of blue-collar workers in the foreign service of any country in historyOnce abroad, the attachés wielded their own diplomatic position as proof of the swift changes occurring in Argentina under Perón. Nowhere else had workers accomplished so much, reaching positions in a realm usually reserved for elites. As part of their mission, they described the Argentine reality: hundreds of factories—many of them state-owned—were producing everything from steel to canned food. Unions held unprecedented bargaining power. They managed hotels for their workers at the most scenic vacation resorts. And hospitals and schools were free to all. The attachés showed that the daily caloric intake of an Argentine worker was among the highest in the world. And they emphatically attributed these advances to Perón and his wife, Eva Perón. In diplomatic dispatches, personal letters, and news articles, they reported back to Argentina about a European continent ravaged by the war. From Latin America, they described with ethnographic precision the meager wages of workers at an oil refinery in Peru and the kilometers that Guatemalan peasants at a plantation had to walk between their shacks and the first source of running water. From the United States, they chronicled layoffs at telephone companies, the end of rent regulation, which had benefited low-income workers during the New Deal, and the massive strikes in the automaker sector. The attachés made sure that the setbacks of unions and the efforts of the business sector to reverse workers’ gains in the United States were widely publicized in Argentina and the rest of Latin America.The attachés joined the democratic spring that swept Latin America after 1945. The contrast in the achievements of organized labor at home and the difficulties of workers abroad reinforced their belief in the exceptionality of the Peronist recipe. And this, in turn, provided a class ethos to a long-standing sense of predestination and to ambitions for regional leadership that ran deep in Argentine nationalism. They promoted Peronism as a path for the expansion of social citizenship for the emerging working class and denounced U.S. foreign policy as an ally of local elites in obstructing that mission. With this basic toolkit of ideas, they allied with the leftist leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán in 1948 in Colombia and made sure that indigenous people in Peru had a copy of Perón’s Declaration of the Rights of Workers, which had been translated into Quechua by 1950. They funded an early venture abroad of a young Cuban law student, Fidel Castro, and befriended an equally young Argentine doctor, Ernesto Guevara. In 1954, a Peronist attaché sheltered members of the future leadership of the Guatemalan guerrilla in the Argentine embassy during the cia-backed military coup. The attachés confronted U.S. labor diplomats of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (afl-cio), who had deployed representatives throughout the world since the end of World War II. Particularly in Latin America, they had worked closely with the U.S. government, the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the business sector. Labor diplomats became part of the larger U.S. efforts to contain communism by gaining the support of workers in the region for the strengthening of liberal democracy. The U.S. labor diplomats saw Peronism as a fascist threat and worked with U.S. officials in containing Perón’s transnational aims. They shared with Peronism the idea that inequality was a major problem in Latin America. They also argued that democracy could not be achieved without social reform. But they claimed that workers should gain their rights without violent upheavals of social order, which could be used by demagogues (i.e., Perón) to create a totalitarian government that would curtail citizens’ freedoms. The Peronist specter captured the concerns of officials and elites in the Americas. By 1946, Argentina was already mentioned as one of the main threats to democratic liberalism in the document that became the blueprint for Cold War containment. And two years later, a U.S. official stationed in Europe reflected, “The threat which gives us the worst case of cold shivers is that of a southern bloc dominated by Argentina.” Attachés like Segovia came to represent this menace to the extent that their actions were eventually described by Robert Alexander, the scholar with the greatest influence on U.S. officials working with organized labor in Latin America, as part of “the whole Peronista propaganda apparatus . . . against the United States [that] outdid even that of the Communists.” By the onset of the Cold War, the image of Peronism as a symbol of social change gone awry was engraved in such a powerful way that it survived the Cold War itself.

El jefe comunal de uno de los Partidos industriales del Conurbano bona, y referente del Peronismo de la Provincia, cuenta cómo le pega la política macrista a los empresarios de su municipio (fundamentalmente industriales y Pymes) y anuncia que con otros Intendentes Peronistas, presentarán un reclamo Judicial para dejar sin efecto los Tarifazos anunciados el 28 de Diciembre. English The communal head of one of the industrial parties of the bona conurbano, and a reference of the Peronism of the Province, tells how the macrista policy hits the entrepreneurs of his municipality (mainly industrial and SMEs) and announces that with other Peronist Intendants, they will present a Judicial claim to cancel the rates announced on December 28.
Dominic and Cymene talk urban turkey encounters on this week’s edition of the Cultures of Energy podcast. With multispecies on our minds, we then (8:59) check in with Dartmouth’s Laura Ogden. We begin with her experience growing up in the Everglades and how it sparked a life long interest in multispecies relations and the hidden histories of landscapes often regarded as “wilderness.” We touch on her 2011 book Swamplife and talk alligator subjectivity, their relations with humans and the special challenges of thinking about predator-predator relations within multispecies ethnography. Laura gives us her take on the environmental challenges facing swamplife in the Everglades today and then we turn to her current work on invasive species in Tierra del Fuego. We hear how Peronism brought Canadian beavers to Argentina and how their spread into Chile helped her to rethink species assemblages. We talk about Laura’s collaborations with feminist performance artists and ecologists, why she thinks the term “resilience” is an anti-politics machine, and the first environmentalist victory in Chilean history. We close by discussing her current book project, Loss and Wonder at the World’s End.
Mauricio Macri was the darling of international investors after twelve years of radical Peronism. Now Argentina’s economy and center-right President are reeling. Economist Brad Setser of the Council on Foreign Relations predicts a massive and painful recession next year, a potential default after Argentina’s presidential elections, and a risk of global impact. But does economic meltdown have to spell political chaos too? More at https://altamar.us/argentinas-looming-doomsday/ Follow us on Twitter and Facebook

Philosophy in small coinsSome years before, in his essay Les Assassins de la Mémoire —an acute study on the neo-nazi revisionism in contemporary Europe—, the French writer Pierre Vidal-Naquet transcribed lyrics of “Cambalache”, the seminal tango by Enrique Santos Discépolo. A far-fetched quotation? Maybe a feature of exotism by an intellectual in search of oxygen out of the European culture environment? According to the author´s confession, he was acquainted with Discépolo´s work by way of some Latin American friends. And he decided to include him in a book not at all connected with tango. The image of a cambalache (second-hand shop) as scenery for insolent random, of a confusion of values and desacralization seemed to him most adequate to seal his denouncing text.That was not the first time which Discépolo´s work aroused interest in the field of thought. The Spaniard Camilo José Cela included him among his preferred popular poets and Ernesto Sábato had no doubt in identifying himself with the pessimistic philosophy of the one who wrote “Qué vachaché”: «True love got drowned in the soup». Several years before these recognitions, the lunfardo (slang) poets Dante Linyera and Carlos de la Púa defined Discépolo as an author with philosophy. Another writer from Buenos Aires, Julián Centeya, when reviewing one of his films, talked of «philosophy in small coins», and at the same time was risking an analogy —undoubtedly exaggerated— between Discépolo and... Charlie Chaplin.Unlike other popular creators who displayed their talent in an instinctive and somewhat naïve way to be later recognized as future exegetes, Discépolo was always conscious of his contribution. It could also be stated that all his artistic renderings were articulated by common sense, a certain Discepolian air or spirit which people immediately recognizes with affection and admiration as if his work —more than once defined as prophetic— should express the common sense of the Argentines. Discépolo´s singularity keeps on disquieting either in the tango universe or outside it. While most of his contemporaries are today strange to new generations, the man who wrote and composed “Cambalache” persists, is in force. Or to say it with one of his most loved images: he keeps on biting.Enrique grew up seeing theater guided by his brother Armando, the great playwright of the River Plate grotesque, and soon later he was attracted by popular arts. He arrived at tango after having tried with uneven success, play writing and acting. In 1917, he made his début as an actor, in the company of Roberto Casaux, a comic star of that time, and a year later he wrote together with a friend the play Los Duendes, mistreated by critics. He later improved his level with El Señor Cura (adaptation of a Maupassant´s story), Día Feriado, El Hombre Solo, Páselo Cabo and, especially, El Organito, fierce social painting sketched with his brother in the mid-20s. As an actor, Discépolo evolved from chorus member to a cast name, and his work in Mustafá, would be remembered, among many other renditions.Although the worlds of tango and theater were not divorced in the Argentina of Yrigoyen and Gardel, Discépolo´s decision to be an author of popular songs was resisted by his elder brother —Armando had been responsible for Enrique´s education after the early death of their parents—, and it cannot be said that things had been easy for the feeble and shy Discepolín. A mild familiar influence (Santo, his father, was a noted Neapolitan musician settled in Buenos Aires) may have been the first evidence towards the combined art of sound organization and lyrics, but the revelation was not immediate. On the contrary, either the anodyne “Bizcochito”, his first composition commissioned by the playwright Saldías, or the remarkable and revulsive “Qué vachaché”, published by Julio Korn in 1926 and premiered at a theater in Montevideo where it was noisily whistled, were a bad start or, at least, that was what people in Buenos Aires, used to appraise Manuel Romero's, Celedonio Flores' and Pascual Contursi's tangos, thought.The luck of the stubborn author changed in 1928 when, in a revue, the singer Azucena Maizani sang “Esta noche me emborracho”, a tango with Horatian touches (because of Horacio, author of Odes) and with an entirely River Plate subject: an old cabaret woman who was mercilessly treated by time. Days after its début, the lyrics of that tango were heard throughout the country. Argentine musicians on tour of Europe included it in their repertories, and in Alfonso XIII´s Spain, the composition achieved an enormous popularity. That was Discépolo birth in tango. That very year, the actress and singer Tita Merello returned to the previously critized “Qué vachaché” and drove it to the same stature of “Esta noche me emborracho”. Finally, 1928 would be the year of love for an intellectual full of uncertainties. Tania, a Spanish singer of cuplés settled in Buenos Aires, who would turn out to be an adequate interpreter of his tangos, was to accompany Discépolo until the end of his life.At a time when lyric writing and musical composition were clearly differentiated within the frame of cultural industries, Discépolo wrote lyrics and music, even though the latter was conceived with just two fingers on the piano keyboard, to be later committed to staff sheet by some friend musicians (generally Lalo Scalise). This twofold capacity allowed Discépolo to develop each tango as a perfect unit of lyrics and music. With an extremely sharp sense of rhythm and dramatic progression, with an impeccable melodic sense (Carlos de la Púa defined him as a Philharmonic Tom Thumb), Discépolo managed to make of his short and, most times, violent stories, an authentic River Plate human comedy. He set aside a big portion of the modernist influence which viciated other lyricists (Rubén Darío was the literary hero for hundred of Argentine poets, for many years) and translated to the minor format of song, certain predominant ideas of the age: theatrical grotesque, Croce´s idealism, Pirandellian estrangement...The profusion of ideas in each lyric found in the witty humor and in the lyricism of music, a certain balance, a sensory compensation, a way to tell things in and through tango. No other author would go so far.Of course, the fact that Carlos Gardel had recorded almost all his early tangos greatly helped to divulge and legitimate Discépolo as author and composer in a genre plenty of authors and composers. In this sense, Gardel´s rendition of “Yira yira” in October 1930 stands amongst the great numbers of Argentine music. The intensity of the recording, where there were not special theatrical resources and the singer avoided all unnecessary emphasis, is given by the immediacy of Gardel´s expression. There are no instrumental preambles to make the listener familiar with the material beyond a brief introduction by the guitarists who present the bridge with tremolos and phrasings in the low strings so typical of the period. The melodic line, with deceptive simplicity suddenly breaks in, with a force which excludes complaint.“Yira yira” was listened to and interpreted as a claim loaded with skepticism. The ridiculed militant in “Qué vachaché” comes back to assault, but this time he is backed by a profound material crisis. Now the conceited one, who resisted to believe that «true love got drowned in the soup», is taking the place of a cynical voice. The principles have been changed by reality. This is the triumph of disbelief but now without the cynicism —and even less the grotesque— of some years before. The character of “Yira yira” trusted the world but the world failed him. Such as in other Discépolo´s tangos, the lyrics tell us of a fall, a cruel sunrise: there is no more space for deceipt and fraud. (From this perspective, those who saw in Discépolo a moralist disappointed by modernity are not completely mistaken, but perhaps he is much more than that).The trend that begins with “Qué vachaché” and ripens in “Yira yira” is continued in the tangos “Qué sapa señor” and, in 1935, “Cambalache”. But this is not the only style of the compositional art of Discépolo. He was romantic in the waltz “Sueño de juventud”, mocking in comic tangos such as “Justo el 31” and “Chorra”, expressionist in “Soy un arlequín” and “Quién más quién menos”, passionate in “Confesión” and “Canción desesperada” and somewhat nostalgic and elegiac in “Uno” and “Cafetín de Buenos Aires”, both written together with Mariano Mores. He was not as prolific as Enrique Cadícamo, and a portion of his work lacks in interest. Undoubtedly, Discépolo's musical variety had to do with his interest in theater and cinema. His staging of Wunder Bar and his most known movies —Cuatro Corazones,En la Luz de una Estrella— made known several songs —some almost forgotten— which the director and actor wrote with his programmatic sense.Enrique Santos Discépolo was born in the neighborhood of Once, Buenos Aires, and died at his downtown apartment which he shared with Tania. His commitment with Peronism, made public through his brief and shocking participation in a controverted radio program, caused a troublesome distance between him and his old friends. Two years after his death, when the political trenches no longer needed him but several of his tangos kept on striking on the collective consciousness, Discépolo was remembered by the writer Nicolás Olivari on a remarkable article. There Olivari asserted that “Yira yira”'s author had been the bolt of Buenos Aires humorism, smeared with grease for anguish. In a way, that was a Discepolian definition.Sergio A. Pujol is historian and music critic. Among other books, he published Discépolo. Una Biografía Argentina (An Argentine biography) (Emecé, 1997).
