], the ] since 2023, is well known for his flamboyant personality, distinctive personal style, and strong media presence, which at times caused controversies. Like other ], his rhetoric focuses on opposing what he describes as the political caste. Milei's coalition was criticized for including among his candidates ] and apologists of the last ]. During his political career, Milei has also been accused of having a violent attitude towards journalists and critics, and of misogynistic behavior, including towards women in journalism, and has been the subject of several investigations. | |||

=== Comment (must read — short single paragraph) === | |||
'''Delete''' as ] ("deliberately created to avoid a neutral point of view (including undue weight), often to avoid or highlight negative or positive viewpoints or facts"), as no other solution, after two-year-long discussions, is possible to solve the NPOV, OR/SYNTH, and even VERIFY issues (e.g. contradiction with ] and all individual events that are not described as ''mass killings'' by majority sources, excess deaths and mass mortality events conflated as mass killings, etc.), since the 'Keep' side has refused attempts at rewrite, , and some even refusing to acknowledge any issue despite recognition from the moderator at ]. I have no prejudice in a future rewrite that is NPOV, in full respect of our policies and guidelines (NPOV is not negotiable), and a clearly agreed and defined topic, such as one. Merely stating "per source" does not mean anything, especially if you do not address our legitimate concerns, as can be seen in my in-depth analysis of so far cited sources below. | |||
=== 2018 === | |||
=== Rationale (must read — short three paragraphs) === | |||
==== Complaint for gender violence ==== | |||
The article is a content POV fork and coat, as acknowledged and recognized by DRN moderator (though they did not weight in on whether to 'Keep' or 'Delete'), which fails NPOV and VERIFY, and is OR/SYNTH per , and because (1) Communist grouping is controversial (it was one scholarly criticism of '']'', see , , and ), and (2) genocide scholars themselves do not find regime type to be significant in explaining mass killings (). | |||
On 26 June 2018, Milei told journalist Teresita Frías that she was "dumb", that "I'm going to destroy you", and that "you have problems understanding" during a press conference in Metán, Salta. Frías had questioned him on a question linked to ] and Milei had cited ] on four occasions. Milei refused to apologize when asked by another journalist at the end of the conference.<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 June 2018 |title=El economista Javier Milei maltrató a una periodista en Salta: 'Sos una burra' |url=https://www.infobae.com/sociedad/2018/06/28/el-economista-javier-milei-maltrato-a-una-periodista-en-salta-sos-una-burra |access-date=7 September 2023 |website=Infobae |language=es}}</ref> As a result, Frías filed a complaint for gender violence, citing violation of the Law for Protection against Gender Violenc from Milei. Milei had to undergo a psychological examination and later apologized for his actions at the courthouse and Family and Gender judge Carmelo Paz prohibited him from taking part in a public meeting as a panelist or lecturer within the city limits of Metán. The court then dismissed the case. According to Milei, this was because the judge said "there was no violence, there was no gender violence, and there was no crime."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-07-12 |title=Ordenan una pericia psicológica para el economista Javier Milei |url=https://www.perfil.com/noticias/sociedad/ordenan-una-pericia-psicologica-para-el-economista-javier-milei.phtml |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Perfil |language=es}}</ref> | |||
=== 2019 === | |||
The article takes an alleged Communist genocide/mass killing concept from Mann, Straus (who is merely reviewing rather than proposing the concept), and Valentino, even though the first is about classicide, the second is about genocide in general, and the third is a chapter about genocides and mass killings in the 20th century, then listing all mass killings under Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pol, adding all excess deaths under all Communist regimes, even as only few scholars and from one side (Courtois, Rummel) list all non-combatant victims (famines, wars, etc.), to suggest all those are mass killings and/or victims of communism (the main culprit, which is contrary to Valentino's view of leaders, not regime type, being the main culprit), its more accurate title that, however, does not really solve all those issues I have highlighted. | |||
==== Alleged cover-up and illicit association ==== | |||
Following doubts related to the financing of the ] campaign of the ] and the links with the drug trafficking detainee Federico "Fred" Machado,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fahsbender |first=Federico |date=18 April 2021 |title=La caída de 'Fred' Machado, el empresario argentino acusado de estafas millonarias y de importar cocaína a Estados Unidos |url=https://www.infobae.com/sociedad/policiales/2021/04/18/la-caida-de-fred-machado-el-empresario-argentino-acusado-de-estafas-millonarias-y-de-importar-cocaina-a-estados-unidos |access-date=7 September 2023 |website=Infobae |language=es}}</ref> Milei was denounced along with ]; Milei did not take part to the 2019 campaign.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-09-23 |title=La nueva grieta entre Milei y Espert por su apoyo a Larreta: qué le dijo |url=https://www.cronista.com/economia-politica/La-nueva-grieta-entre-Milei-y-Espert-por-su-apoyo-a-Larreta-que-le-dijo-20190923-0011.html |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=El Cronista |language=es}}</ref> Luis Rosales, Jimena Aristizabal, and Nazareno Etchepare also entered the complaint before the Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 8, for the crimes of concealment and illicit association.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-04-28 |title=Denuncian a Espert por su vínculo con un empresario acusado por narcotráfico |url=https://www.perfil.com/noticias/politica/denuncian-a-jose-luis-espert-por-su-vinculo-con-un-empresario-acusado-por-narcotrafico.phtml |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Perfil |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-05-12 |title=La justicia electoral apunta al vínculo entre Espert y un empresario narco |url=https://www.perfil.com/noticias/politica/la-justicia-electoral-apunta-al-vinculo-entre-jose-luis-espert-y-un-empresario-narco-fred-machado.phtml |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Perfil |language=es}}</ref> | |||
=== 2021 === | |||
Other possibilities include a general article about mass killings, or during the 20th century, as a spin-off of ]. I also accept those three proposals as possible solutions other than deletion but only if the article is completely rewritten/restructured per ] (not a policy but an especially relevant essay for this article and its problems), e.g. if the closure give the green light to such rewrite, 'Keep' side must be collaborative and accept such possibility. | |||
==== Alleged plagiarism for ''El Cronista'' and Infobae ==== | |||
In August 2021, Milei was accused of plagiarism by an anonymous ] user, who alleged that in some of his opinion columns, such as for '']'' and ], he had copied fragments of texts from various economists from the ] without citing or attributing their authorship; this was verified by several news outlets.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rossi |first=Paula |date=2021-08-23 |title='Muestra lo nerviosos que están'.

==== Insults to Horacio Rodríguez Larreta ==== | |||
=== For the closer (must read — short two paragraphs) === | |||
On 25 August 2021, through his ] account, Milei insulted ] (the head of government of Buenos Aires) by calling him a "shitty lefty", a "disgusting dragged worm", and added: "I can crush him while in a wheelchair."<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 August 2021 |title=El insulto de Javier Milei a Rodríguez Larreta: 'Zurdo de mierda, te puedo aplastar' |url=https://www.infobae.com/politica/2021/08/28/el-insulto-de-javier-milei-a-rodriguez-larreta-zurdo-de-mierda-te-puedo-aplastar |access-date=7 September 2023 |website=Infobae |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-08-27 |title=Javier Milei insultó a Horacio Rodríguez Larreta y lo amenazó: 'Zurdo de mierda, te puedo aplastar' |url=https://www.clarin.com/politica/javier-milei-insulto-horacio-rodriguez-larreta-amenazo-zurdo-mierda-puedo-aplastar-_0_rLUZy3FZq.html |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Clarín |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-08-28 |title=El día después |url=https://www.perfil.com/noticias/columnistas/el-dia-despues-por-jorge-fontevecchia.phtml |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Perfil |language=es}}</ref> He justified his words by arguing that Rodríguez Larreta "uses public funds to persecute opponents", that "my behavior corresponds to a reaction to a previous aggression and persecution that the head of the Buenos Aires government is carrying out", and that "what I do on my social networks is my problem".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-08-28 |title='Está operando en mi contra': Javier Milei explicó por qué insultó a Horacio Rodríguez Larreta |url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/esta-operando-en-mi-contra-javier-milei-explico-por-que-insulto-a-horacio-rodriguez-larreta-nid28082021 |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=La Nación |language=es}}</ref> He added that "if you don't like how I handle myself on my social networks, it's very easy: don't look at my Instagram and that's it."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-09-27 |title=El tenso cruce de Luis Majul con Javier Milei: 'Es una barbaridad lo que dijiste, ¿pediste disculpas?' |url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/el-tenso-cruce-de-luis-majul-con-javier-milei-es-una-barbaridad-lo-que-dijiste-pediste-disculpas-nid27092021 |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=La Nación |language=es}}</ref> | |||
Addendum — "per sources" arguments must not be taken at face value due to a sourcing problem as summarized by Siebert (see also and ) and the issue described in the lack of agreement about the main topic. | |||
==== Electoral campaign financing ==== | |||
Thanks to Hemiauchenia for pointing out that ] is a good precedent in that the same, if not very similar, rationale for 'Delete' applies here, and I hope the closer here will also not take "'keep' opinions merely reply 'but it's notable' , ... " at face value. This is not a 'voting', as ], so rational arguments and their strength, backed by sources (e.g. as I did to show Communist grouping is controversial) should be seen as the most valuable, irregardless if it is to 'Keep' and/or 'Delete', in weighting it. As noted there, "he 'keep' side would instead have needed to show that the alleged quality problems either don't exist or can be relatively easily fixed by editing; and most of them did not attempt to make this argument." None, if any at all, of 'Keep' votes have showed and/or answered this so far. | |||
Doubts arose from the late presentation of the campaign financing reports of his alliance, ]. According to the PASO report, despite the discourse against the political caste, the alliance received no private contributions or donations and was financed exclusively with the state contribution. These questions raised questions about the way in which the campaign, which included events with LED screens and sound, the rental of the Luna Park stadium and the Grand View hotel, was financed. In this regard, Carlos Maslatón, one of his campaign collaborators, excused himself by saying that the financing of political campaigns is 98% illicit.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ini, Candela |first=Marin, Lucila |date=2021-11-23 |title=Cómo se financió la campaña de Javier Milei, entre la austeridad y los números ocultos |url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/como-se-financio-la-campana-de-javier-milei-entre-la-austeridad-y-los-numeros-ocultos-nid23112021 |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=La Nación |language=es}}</ref> | |||

==== Alleged plagiarism for ''Pandenomics'' ==== | |||
In May 2022, Milei was accused of having plagiarized scientists like Salvador Galindo Uribarri, Mario Rodríguez Mesa, Jorge Luis Cervantes Cota, and Antonio Guirao Piñera for his ''Pandenomics'' (2020) book.<ref>{{cite web |date=17 May 2022 |title=Salvador Uribarri, físico plagiado por Milei: 'Voy a llegar hasta las últimas consecuencias' |url=https://noticias.perfil.com/noticias/politica/salvador-uribarri-fisico-plagio-javier-milei-denuncia-pandenomics.phtml |access-date=27 November 2023 |website=Noticias |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=20 May 2022 |title=Javier Milei, el gran copión: los seis plagios de su libro |url=https://noticias.perfil.com/noticias/politica/javier-milei-gran-copion-seis-plagios-libro-pandenomics.phtml |access-date=27 November 2023 |website=Noticias |language=es}}</ref> Galindo Uribarri was not made aware of this until an interview with '']''. In August 2022, Ramiro Vasena, a candidate for a small liberal party in Argentina, filed a complaint in a Buenos Aires court against Milei for plagiarism in ''Pandenomics'', describing him as "a compulsive plagiarist". Susana Bianconi, Galindo Uribarri's wife, was not made aware of the case, and Galindo Uribarri, who was said by his wife to have been "offended to the core" for the plagiarism, died of cancer in September 2022.<ref>{{cite web |last=Camhaji |first=Elías |date=18 November 2023 |title=Javier Milei: How the Argentine presidential candidate plagiarized three Mexican scientists |url=https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-11-18/javier-milei-how-the-argentine-presidential-candidate-plagiarized-three-mexican-scientists.html |access-date=27 November 2023 |website=El País English}}</ref> The investigative reporting of ''Noticias'' attracted international attention in November 2023.<ref>{{cite web |last=Camhaji |first=Elías |date=17 November 2023 |title=La historia detrás del plagio de Milei a tres científicos mexicanos |url=https://elpais.com/mexico/2023-11-17/la-historia-detras-del-plagio-de-milei-a-tres-cientificos-mexicanos.html |access-date=27 November 2023 |website=El País México |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=González |first=Juan Luis |date=18 November 2023 |title=Javier Milei y sus plagios: la investigación de Noticias que dio vuelta al mundo |url=https://noticias.perfil.com/noticias/politica/javier-milei-y-sus-plagios-la-investigacion-de-noticias-que-dio-vuelta-al-mundo.phtml |access-date=27 November 2023 |website=Noticias |language=es}}</ref> | |||
==== Sale of human organs ==== | |||
=== Analysis of sources (can be skipped if above is deemed sufficient enough rationale) === | |||
In June 2022, Milei declared himself in favor of allowing the sale of organs between private parties and eliminating all state regulations. According to Milei, "it is just another market" and "my first property is my body."<ref>{{cite web |date=2 June 2022 |title=Javier Milei se mostró a favor de la venta de órganos: 'Es un mercado más' |url=https://www.ambito.com/politica/javier-milei/se-mostro-favor-la-venta-organos-es-un-mercado-mas-n5454111 |access-date=16 August 2023 |website=Ámbito}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-02 |title=Javier Milei, a favor de la venta de órganos: 'Es un mercado más' {{!}} Rotundo rechazo desde el INCUCAI |url=https://www.pagina12.com.ar/426307-javier-milei-a-favor-de-la-venta-de-organos-es-un-mercado-ma |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Página12 |language=es}}</ref> His statements caused the rejection of the INCUCAI (Single National Central Coordinating Institute for Ablation and Implant).

==== Sale of children ==== | ||
In June 2022, a journalist asked Milei if he agreed with the sale of children. Milei responded: | |||
Among others, Nug have we understand the topic differently, as has been also noted by North8000 , so saying the topic is notable is not helpful if those on the 'Keep' side do not provide a clearly defined topic; e.g. I would vote 'Keep', provided the article is rewritten on this topic as summarized by Siebert : | |||
<blockquote>"In my opinion, the really notable topic is '''the discussion of the view that Communism was the greatest mass murderer in XX century. Who said that? Why? What was the main purpose for putting forward this idea? How this idea was accepted? Who supports that? Who criticise it and what the criticism consists in? How this idea is linked to recent trends in Holocaust obfuscation?''' And so on, and so forth. This would be '''a really notable topic, and that can save the article from deletion'''. However, '''that will require almost complete rewrite of the article.'''"</blockquote> | |||
<blockquote>"No, it depends... It depends on what terms you're thinking about. When I say that I am a paleo-libertarian, it means that in an anarcho-capitalist world you give a place to customs and traditions. A legal framework will appear as a consequence of people's decisions and perhaps, in one of those contexts, it is absolutely reprehensible and is not done; it has to do with what society decided and thinks certain things... If I had a child, I would not sell him, but again, it is not what Argentine society is discussing, perhaps 200 years from now, what will happen, what do I know but there is a problem of consistency because if we talk about the anarcho-capitalist world he would not be president, because in anarcho-capitalism there is no president."<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 June 2022 |title=Qué respondió Javier Milei cuando le preguntaron si está a favor de la venta de niños |url=https://www.infobae.com/politica/2022/06/28/que-respondio-javier-milei-cuando-le-preguntaron-si-esta-a-favor-de-la-venta-de-ninos |access-date=7 September 2023 |website=Infobae |language=es}}</ref></blockquote> | |||
Since the 'Keep' side has refused any attempts at rewrite, identify a topic, and even acknowledge any issue, I see the only solution as 'Delete', with no prejudice in a future rewrite that is NPOV, in respect of our policies, and a clearly defined topic. Now let us move on to the issue of sourcing. | |||
These words caused a stir and a considerable loss of popularity in polls.{{cn}} Milei would later come out to rectify and clarify things some time later. He explained on ] that the questions they asked him were only "philosophical discussions that they make because they don't want me to talk about the underlying problem of Argentina". He said: "I came here to propose a different economic model that allows us to become a power again. Here the only discussion that matters is whether they want to continue living in this swamp or want to build a different country."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-29 |title=Tras la polémica por la 'venta de niños', Javier Milei se defiende: 'No vine acá a imponer mis opiniones' |url=https://www.perfil.com/noticias/politica/tras-la-polemica-por-la-venta-de-ninos-javier-milei-se-defiende-no-vine-aca-a-imponer-mis-opiniones.phtml |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Perfil |language=es}}</ref> Interviewed by Luis Novaresio on ''La Nación+'', he admitted that he can make mistakes, and that he also learns from his mistakes, but that his main problems are focused on "resolving inflation, public spending, unemployment, poverty, and indigence". He said: "I condemn the sale of children and respect institutions. They brought me a philosophical assumption and as a paleolibertarian I said that there is a discussion there, but it has nothing to do with what I think. It's fake, I said it's fake.

==== Helen Fein (short two paragraphs) ==== | |||
Nug cite ] but they fail to realize and do not point out something that is even in the article itself (as you can see ), e.g. {{tq|the xenophobic ideology of the Khmer Rouge regime bears a stronger resemblance to "an almost forgotten phenomenon of national socialism", or fascism, rather than communism}}, therefore the Khmer Rouge regime should not be discussed per Fein because she does not necessarily agree with categorizing as Communist; other scholars also categorize it as totalitarian (within the context of "xenophobic European nationalism", not Marxism) rather than Communist, e.g. ] and ] (see , sourced to , pp. 96–98) | |||
==== Coinx promotion ==== | |||
We must not cherry pick authors and acts as though they are proposing MKuCR when they are discussing genocide and/or mass killing in general; as noted by Nug themselves, that is chapter but the book is about genocide and/mass killings in general, so I do not see how that justifies MKuCR rather than a general article about mass killings during the 20th century, irrespective of regime type, which remains a possibility and alternative to both 'Keep' and 'Delete' options. | |||
In June 2022, it was reported that ] company Coinx closed its offices after being involved in an alleged pyramid scheme controversy. The company was promoted by Milei on his social networks. He said: "They are revolutionizing the way of investment to help escape inflation." At that time, Milei was not in the CNV Registry of Qualifiers to make invitations to the public to invest and CoinX did not have the authorization to operate in the field of public offering. This led the CNV to declare it an irregular public offer.<ref>{{Cite web |date=9 June 2022 |title=Qué es Coinx, la cripto investigada por estafa piramidal que promocionaba Milei |url=https://www.ambito.com/politica/javier-milei/que-es-coinx-la-cripto-investigada-estafa-piramidal-que-promocionaba-milei-n5458982 |access-date=7 September 2023 |website=Ámbito |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Sánchez |first=Agostina Vicente |date=2022-06-09 |title=Qué es CoinX, la presunta estafa piramidal promocionada por Javier Milei |url=https://www.diarioconvos.com/2022/06/08/que-es-coinx-la-presunta-estafa-piramidal-promocionada-por-javier-milei |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Diario Con Vos |language=es}}</ref> | |||

Why would you be starting from a number that is not true? Why are you lying about the number? There are clear reasons why people lie about the number. It has to do with a cash issue. Then you are dirtying a noble cause for a cash issue. The other thing you have to understand is that it was a war. See if at this moment someone goes and puts a bomb on you and you fly into the air, is that okay with you? The problem is that the state, when it participates in these conflicts, has to operate within a framework, because it is the one that has the monopoly on violence. So, what terrorism did is very serious. Now what the state did was even worse. What does this mean? That there was a war, yes. But the abuses committed by the state are worse. But from there to saying that they were idealistic young people and that they were good people there is an abyss."<ref name="Ámbito 2022"/></blockquote> | |||
==== Benjamin Valentino and other genocide scholars (four paragraphs, two of which are quotes from user Paul Siebert) ==== | |||
] is the core source but his actually main idea is, to quote Siebert from ], that {{tq|the regime type is not a good predictor for mass killings onset. He came to that conclusion by having analyzed similar type regimes, and he found that one of them committed mass killings, whereas another one didn't. His main conclusion is that leader's personality is the main factor responsible for mass killing, and a practical conclusion is: if we remove some concrete group from power, we may eliminate a risk of mass killings even without making serious transformation of the state's political system. It is ironical that the work of the researcher who wanted to demonstrate that some limited number of persons are real culprits became a core of the article that puts responsibility for mass killings on Communist ideology as whole. ...<br><br>Valentino demonstrated that by the fact that many (majority) of Communist regimes had not been engaged in mass killings (his own words), and the core of his methodology was a comparison of similar regimes, one of which committed mass killings, whereas another didn't. That means the article twisted the idea of the main source it is based upon. A title that correctly transmits Valentino's views would be "Mass killings under some Communist regimes", but I am not proposing it, for that would be non-encyclopaedic, and because the views of genocide scholars are not fully in agreement with views of historians.}} | |||

==== Rudolph Rummel (very short single paragraph) ==== | |||
==== Media complaint for alleged sexual favours ==== | |||
From , which is a tertiary source and a core source of both MKuCR and ] (CaHuCR),'''2''' Rummel is considered to be controversial ("they are hardly an example of a serious and empirically-based writing of history"), and is only mentioned "on the basis of the interest in him in the blogosphere." In addition, Rummel has been discussed at ] (, ). Harff herself, a disciple of Rummel, has acknowledged it (Harff 2017), there is no point in denying this any longer. | |||
In February 2023, Mila Zurbriggen, president of the Libertarian Generation group, announced her departure from La Libertad Avanza, denouncing in the media that within the coalition "people are put in suitable positions for sexual favours", stating that the way in which the leadership was handled showed "a lack of respect for the militant youth", and accusing Milei and his party of "using them only for their interests".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-07 |title=Denuncian favores sexuales por cargos políticos en el espacio de Javier Milei |url=https://infocielo.com/politica-y-economia/denuncian-favores-sexuales-cargos-politicos-el-espacio-javier-milei-n756194 |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Infocielo |language=es}}</ref> In turn, those close to Milei released a statement considering Zurbriggen's intention an attempt to defame the women in the coalition, and warned that "all those who want to approach them in search of fame will not be accepted."<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 February 2023 |title=Crece el escándalo por las denuncias de favores sexuales: la versión de Milei |url=https://www.telam.com.ar/notas/202302/620124-milei-cargos-jovenes-venta-candidaturas.html |access-date=7 September 2023 |website=Télam |language=es}}</ref> Ultimately, Zurbriggen did not file any formal complaint against Milei. The next day, Milei said: "This topic is totally inconsequential. If you have all that, go and prove it in court. There are people who, when they don't get positions or money, in that anger, say a lot of things. Zurbriggen already had problems with other groups.

In July 2023, businessman ] alleged that leaders close to Milei, such as Carlos Kikuchi, former political advisor to ], charged up to $50,000 in exchange for political positions.

In our space, each one of us self-finances the campaign, that is, we do it with our own money and effort. That bothers traditional politicians, because they finance themselves with taxes, that is, they steal what you pay them to campaign.

, who do not discuss of MKuCR but of mass killings in general (even Rummel's categorization is described as "authoritarian and totalitarian government" at p. 5 vis-à-vis Valentino's disagreement, so that is an argument to rewrite MKuCR as mass killings under any regime type but why should give so much WEIGHT to Rummel when, as I am going to show next, scholars disagree on regime type?), show that there is a disagreement among scholars, and the solution is certainly not to give too much weight to Rummel by following his categorization, which are criticized by other scholars by Valentino, who is not the only one. When scholars disagree, the solution is not following categorization by a relevant but undue (in light of disagreement and criticism) scholar like Rummel. That we must give WEIGHT and priority to Rummel by having a MKuCR (full Communist-devoted article despite scholars either disagreeing or rejecting ideology and regime type links) is absurd, false balance, does not follow, and is quite frankly beyond me. I cannot possibly be the only one to think this — I am well open to the idea of being proven wrong but I just do not see any sufficient rationale that would justify this. | |||
In addition to Blumberg, the journalist Carlos Eguia, who was the candidate for governor in the province of Neuquén for La Libertad Avanza, denounced an alleged "sale of the brand and places" on the lists and described Milei as "a crap of a person". Faced with these accusations, Julio Serna, a leader close to Carlos Kikuchi, stated that "money was never asked, we only explained how to run a campaign."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Galligani |first=Federico |date=8 July 2023 |title=Uno de los armadores de Javier Milei negó la venta de candidaturas: 'Nunca se pidió plata, solo les explicamos cómo hacer una campaña' |url=https://www.infobae.com/politica/2023/07/09/uno-de-los-armadores-de-javier-milei-nego-la-venta-de-candidaturas-nunca-se-pidio-plata-solo-les-explicamos-como-hacer-una-campana |access-date=7 September 2023 |website=Infobae |language=es}}</ref> The justice system began an investigation against Milei.

<blockquote>{{tq|Bearing in mind the charged nature of the subject, it is polemically effective to make such comparisons, but it does not seem particularly fruitful, neither morally nor scientifically, to judge the regimes on the basis of their 'dangerousness' or to assess the relationship between communism and Nazism on the basis of what the international academic community calls their 'atrocities toll' or 'body count'. In that case, should the crimes of all communist regimes, in the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia and other countries where communism is or has been the dominant party, be compared to the Nazi regime's massacre of six million Jews? Should the Nazi death toll also include the tens of millions of people who the German Nazi armies and their supporting troops killed during the Second World War? Not even Courtois' analytical qualification, that ranking the two regimes the same is based on the idea that the 'weapon of hunger' was used systematically by both the Nazi regime and a number of communist regimes, makes this more reasonable, since this 'weapon' on the whole played a very limited role in the Nazi genocide in relation to other types of methods of mass destruction, and in relation to how it was used by communist regimes.}}</blockquote> | |||

I think that if we truly want to move forward, we need to identify the ''main'' topic of this article. If we cannot agree on what the main topic is, and is to be structured, it should be ''both'' AfD and RfC — because it is not sufficient that AfD results in ''Keep'' or ''No consensus'', if we, in fact, do not agree on what the main topic is, hence RfC will be necessary. | |||

# Mass killings under Communist states'''1''' () — it essentially discusses ''and'' merge all the topics below,'''2''' treats any death as a mass killing, and treats it as scholarly discourse (as if they are all discussed together) ''and'' consensus; it is both theory-based and events-focused | |||
# Mass killings under Communist states () — it has the same problems as the previous version but at least it aknowledges the controversy and the lack of consensus, and recognizes that while there were many killings under Communist states, only Stalin's, Mao's, and Pol Pot's regimes can be categorized as having engaged in mass killing as proposed by ], the core sources | |||
# Excess mortality under Communist states, Mass deaths under Communist states – one of Siebert's proposal for rewrite; it would be the neutral version of topic No. 1, and my understanding is that it would remain both theory-based and events-focused, which may fix NPOV and be a compromise between the two sides but not fix OR/SYNTH because country experts and specialists, which this article would rely much more, do not make such Communist grouping, hence we may mislead users in acting as though those scholars are part of the scholarly discourse of topic No. 1 | |||
# Communist state(s) and mass killing(s),'''3''' Victims of communism – Siebert's and TFD's, plus me, proposed topic and really the only notable one, see summary '''4''' identifies the topic for us — discussion of the number of '''victims of communist''' regimes has been "extremely extensive and '''ideologically biased'''." | |||

I use ''Communist state'' rather than ''Communism'' because the article, like all other topics, will be focused on Communist states, it will be a subarticle of ] (e.g. a summary of the article should not go at ], where we may have a short sentence about some scholars saying Communist states faithfully put in practice communism, and many other scholars disagreeing, but at ]), and nothing would preclude a subsection about communism in general and the discussion of links with it, e.g. Siebert's and TFD's, plus me, proposed topic would fit well with North8000's suggestion that such an article would be about links between the two, rather than categorize the article by political system, which we do only for Communism — any attempts at creation of other article were dismissed as OR/SYNTH, which is a clear double standard, since it would applies to topic No. 1, 2, and likely 3 as well. | |||
'''4.''' Such article may also substitute ] and have other articles, e.g. Communist states and human rights, which would discuss not the events, which can simply be linked rather than coatracked as we do here, but a link between the two. Problem is that while I am sure sources could be found for such an article, I am not sure there is, in fact, a scholarly literature that supports it as a separate article. The link is also much less stronger'''5''' than one may think because it would be about communism in general (e.g. it would make no sense to have one limited to Communist states and/or Marxism–Leninism, since that is the example or link that is attempted to prove) but unlike, say, fascism — and despite what ] may lead some to believe — communism is much more broad and divided (e.g. many communists condemned and criticized Communist states, indeed some of them were the first to criticize the October Revolution as a betrayal, dictatorship of the party, state capitalism, etc. already in late 1917, not in the 1920s and 1930s, or when they saw things going bad), and there are, in fact, democratic and libertarian communists. It is tragic but ironic that both anti-communists and ''tankies'' ignore how many victims were themselves communists. | |||
'''5.''' While atrocities and killings indeed continued after Stalin and Mao (e.g. 1989 in China), they did not fit the mass killing category, and Communist leaders have criticized or rejected, both in practice and theoretically — some of them in full, and many others at least in part in regards to their excesses, Stalin and Mao (as was noted by Valentino himself, most Communist regimes, and Communist leaders I may had, did not engage in mass killings), and Cambodian genocide was stopped by Communist Vietnam. The Soviet Union also helped stop the Holocaust and defeat fascism. In short, while one can much more clearly see that fascism results in genocide and politicide, it is not clear for communism, and communists themselves have been victims of genocide and politicide — by both far-right and military regimes, and nominally Communist regimes themselves. | |||

=== Conclusion (in 457 words, excluding links and wikitext) === | |||
The article is a POV content fork and coatrack, which fails NPOV and VERIFY, and is OR/SYNTH per , and because (1) Communist grouping is controversial (it was one scholarly criticism of '']'', see , , and ), and (2) genocide scholars themselves do not find regime type to be significant in explaining mass killings (). | |||

'''2.''' Karlsson 2008 is completely misunderstood at CaHuCR because Karlsson says to prefer ''crimes against humanity'' over ''mass killings'' and discusses MKuCR but limits himself only to Stalin's, Mao's, and Pol Pot's regimes, not to any Communist regime'''5''' — in all those cases, killings were carried out as part of a policy of an unbalanced modernization process of rapid industrialization (Karlsson 2008, p. 8). | |||
'''3.''' Such an article would not be encyclopedic, as we already have articles for each event, and the review discuss them individually. | |||

Political career President of Argentina Elections Bibliography |
||
Javier Milei, the president of Argentina since 2023, is well known for his flamboyant personality, distinctive personal style, and strong media presence, which at times caused controversies. Like other right-wing populists, his rhetoric focuses on opposing what he describes as the political caste. Milei's coalition was criticized for including among his candidates neo-Nazis and apologists of the last Argentine military dictatorship. During his political career, Milei has also been accused of having a violent attitude towards journalists and critics, and of misogynistic behavior, including towards women in journalism, and has been the subject of several investigations.
List of notable controversies and investigations
2018
Complaint for gender violence
On 26 June 2018, Milei told journalist Teresita Frías that she was "dumb", that "I'm going to destroy you", and that "you have problems understanding" during a press conference in Metán, Salta. Frías had questioned him on a question linked to Keynesian economics and Milei had cited John Maynard Keynes on four occasions. Milei refused to apologize when asked by another journalist at the end of the conference. As a result, Frías filed a complaint for gender violence, citing violation of the Law for Protection against Gender Violenc from Milei. Milei had to undergo a psychological examination and later apologized for his actions at the courthouse and Family and Gender judge Carmelo Paz prohibited him from taking part in a public meeting as a panelist or lecturer within the city limits of Metán. The court then dismissed the case. According to Milei, this was because the judge said "there was no violence, there was no gender violence, and there was no crime."
2019
Alleged cover-up and illicit association
Following doubts related to the financing of the 2019 Argentine presidential election campaign of the Frente Despertar and the links with the drug trafficking detainee Federico "Fred" Machado, Milei was denounced along with José Luis Espert; Milei did not take part to the 2019 campaign. Luis Rosales, Jimena Aristizabal, and Nazareno Etchepare also entered the complaint before the Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 8, for the crimes of concealment and illicit association.
2021
Alleged plagiarism for El Cronista and Infobae
In August 2021, Milei was accused of plagiarism by an anonymous Medium user, who alleged that in some of his opinion columns, such as for El Cronista and Infobae, he had copied fragments of texts from various economists from the Austrian School without citing or attributing their authorship; this was verified by several news outlets. Milei defended himself by saying that they are "dissemination columns" and that, for practicality, notes of attribution are usually not made. He said that he is opposed to intellectual property like Murray Rothbard, and that he received no money for those writings.
Insults to Horacio Rodríguez Larreta
On 25 August 2021, through his Instagram account, Milei insulted Horacio Rodríguez Larreta (the head of government of Buenos Aires) by calling him a "shitty lefty", a "disgusting dragged worm", and added: "I can crush him while in a wheelchair." He justified his words by arguing that Rodríguez Larreta "uses public funds to persecute opponents", that "my behavior corresponds to a reaction to a previous aggression and persecution that the head of the Buenos Aires government is carrying out", and that "what I do on my social networks is my problem". He added that "if you don't like how I handle myself on my social networks, it's very easy: don't look at my Instagram and that's it."
Electoral campaign financing
Doubts arose from the late presentation of the campaign financing reports of his alliance, La Libertad Avanza. According to the PASO report, despite the discourse against the political caste, the alliance received no private contributions or donations and was financed exclusively with the state contribution. These questions raised questions about the way in which the campaign, which included events with LED screens and sound, the rental of the Luna Park stadium and the Grand View hotel, was financed. In this regard, Carlos Maslatón, one of his campaign collaborators, excused himself by saying that the financing of political campaigns is 98% illicit.
2022
Alleged plagiarism for Pandenomics
In May 2022, Milei was accused of having plagiarized scientists like Salvador Galindo Uribarri, Mario Rodríguez Mesa, Jorge Luis Cervantes Cota, and Antonio Guirao Piñera for his Pandenomics (2020) book. Galindo Uribarri was not made aware of this until an interview with Noticias. In August 2022, Ramiro Vasena, a candidate for a small liberal party in Argentina, filed a complaint in a Buenos Aires court against Milei for plagiarism in Pandenomics, describing him as "a compulsive plagiarist". Susana Bianconi, Galindo Uribarri's wife, was not made aware of the case, and Galindo Uribarri, who was said by his wife to have been "offended to the core" for the plagiarism, died of cancer in September 2022. The investigative reporting of Noticias attracted international attention in November 2023.
Sale of human organs
In June 2022, Milei declared himself in favor of allowing the sale of organs between private parties and eliminating all state regulations. According to Milei, "it is just another market" and "my first property is my body." His statements caused the rejection of the INCUCAI (Single National Central Coordinating Institute for Ablation and Implant). Milei later acknowledged that it was his personal opinion and that the country was not prepared for this discussion until at least 200 years have passed.
Sale of children
In June 2022, a journalist asked Milei if he agreed with the sale of children. Milei responded:
"No, it depends... It depends on what terms you're thinking about. When I say that I am a paleo-libertarian, it means that in an anarcho-capitalist world you give a place to customs and traditions. A legal framework will appear as a consequence of people's decisions and perhaps, in one of those contexts, it is absolutely reprehensible and is not done; it has to do with what society decided and thinks certain things... If I had a child, I would not sell him, but again, it is not what Argentine society is discussing, perhaps 200 years from now, what will happen, what do I know but there is a problem of consistency because if we talk about the anarcho-capitalist world he would not be president, because in anarcho-capitalism there is no president."
These words caused a stir and a considerable loss of popularity in polls. Milei would later come out to rectify and clarify things some time later. He explained on Twitter that the questions they asked him were only "philosophical discussions that they make because they don't want me to talk about the underlying problem of Argentina". He said: "I came here to propose a different economic model that allows us to become a power again. Here the only discussion that matters is whether they want to continue living in this swamp or want to build a different country." Interviewed by Luis Novaresio on La Nación+, he admitted that he can make mistakes, and that he also learns from his mistakes, but that his main problems are focused on "resolving inflation, public spending, unemployment, poverty, and indigence". He said: "I condemn the sale of children and respect institutions. They brought me a philosophical assumption and as a paleolibertarian I said that there is a discussion there, but it has nothing to do with what I think. It's fake, I said it's fake. Now, when lying politicians come later to say that I said that and continue to maintain it, well, it shows you the human and intellectual quality of those politicians. Obviously, I don't agree with the sale of children."
Coinx promotion
In June 2022, it was reported that cryptocurrency company Coinx closed its offices after being involved in an alleged pyramid scheme controversy. The company was promoted by Milei on his social networks. He said: "They are revolutionizing the way of investment to help escape inflation." At that time, Milei was not in the CNV Registry of Qualifiers to make invitations to the public to invest and CoinX did not have the authorization to operate in the field of public offering. This led the CNV to declare it an irregular public offer.
Accusations of alleged state terrorism denialism
Milei has been accused of engaging in the denial of state terrorism in Argentina for maintaining that "there were not 30,000" desaparecidos [es] (those who suffered from enforced disappearance) from state terrorism as a result of the Dirty War in Argentina in the 1970s and 1980s during the National Reorganization Process. He clarified that he condemns the dictatorship but that the guerrilla terrorists of the time should also be condemned. Furthermore, he stated that during that time there was a war between the state and terrorism. He said:
"The first thing to recognize is that the 30,000 number is a lie. There were not 30,000 missing. You go to the Human Rights Secretariat and it's not 30,000. Why would you be starting from a number that is not true? Why are you lying about the number? There are clear reasons why people lie about the number. It has to do with a cash issue. Then you are dirtying a noble cause for a cash issue. The other thing you have to understand is that it was a war. See if at this moment someone goes and puts a bomb on you and you fly into the air, is that okay with you? The problem is that the state, when it participates in these conflicts, has to operate within a framework, because it is the one that has the monopoly on violence. So, what terrorism did is very serious. Now what the state did was even worse. What does this mean? That there was a war, yes. But the abuses committed by the state are worse. But from there to saying that they were idealistic young people and that they were good people there is an abyss."
Congenital Heart Disease Program
Milei and La Libertad Avanza voted against a law to expand the Congenital Heart Disease Program, which is one of the most frequent causes of mortality in newborns. When asked about this decision on the Todo Noticias channel, Milei argued:
"It implies more presence of the state interfering in the lives of individuals and implies more expenses. That doesn't work like that. We vote based on liberal ideology. If you already have hospitals, why don't they do it? They make a law so that they do what they should do under normal conditions, are we all crazy? Don't you have public hospitals? Why don't they solve it? You want to regulate it because you do your job poorly, are you burdening me? You create all issues of public spending because, in reality, what you have to do, you do wrong. That for us it is not news that everything the state does, it does wrong. There are things that are unnecessarily reinforced and translate into more state presence and actions that do not correspond. They already have hospitals and they have to treat you, if they don't it is another problem."
2023
Media complaint for alleged sexual favours
In February 2023, Mila Zurbriggen, president of the Libertarian Generation group, announced her departure from La Libertad Avanza, denouncing in the media that within the coalition "people are put in suitable positions for sexual favours", stating that the way in which the leadership was handled showed "a lack of respect for the militant youth", and accusing Milei and his party of "using them only for their interests". In turn, those close to Milei released a statement considering Zurbriggen's intention an attempt to defame the women in the coalition, and warned that "all those who want to approach them in search of fame will not be accepted." Ultimately, Zurbriggen did not file any formal complaint against Milei. The next day, Milei said: "This topic is totally inconsequential. If you have all that, go and prove it in court. There are people who, when they don't get positions or money, in that anger, say a lot of things. Zurbriggen already had problems with other groups. It is her way of acting, that is why she does not last in any space."
Alleged sales of candidatures
In July 2023, businessman Juan Carlos Blumberg alleged that leaders close to Milei, such as Carlos Kikuchi, former political advisor to Domingo Cavallo, charged up to $50,000 in exchange for political positions. Blumberg also said that within La Libertad Avanza there are people close to Sergio Massa and Kirchnerism. In response, Milei defended himself on social networks, arguing: "These days we have been harshly questioned about the financing of our campaign. In our space, each one of us self-finances the campaign, that is, we do it with our own money and effort. That bothers traditional politicians, because they finance themselves with taxes, that is, they steal what you pay them to campaign. In this space the one who comes to put stays, here each one banks with his own; anyone who wants to come here to see if he steals a load gets ejected."
In addition to Blumberg, the journalist Carlos Eguia, who was the candidate for governor in the province of Neuquén for La Libertad Avanza, denounced an alleged "sale of the brand and places" on the lists and described Milei as "a crap of a person". Faced with these accusations, Julio Serna, a leader close to Carlos Kikuchi, stated that "money was never asked, we only explained how to run a campaign." The justice system began an investigation against Milei. Ramiro González, the prosecutor with electoral jurisdiction, summoned the leaders Carlos Maslatón, Rebeca Maria Belen Fleitas, and Mila Zurbriggen to testify. Although Maslatón did not provide concrete evidence, he claimed to have obtained data on the sale of positions; Fleitas and Zurbriggen denied having specific data. Blumberg was also summoned to testify but did not appear. Milei accused González of "damaging his image" and demandd that the justice system investigate him instead. The claim is in charge of the attorney general Eduardo Casal.
Cloned dogs counseling
Milei's cloned dogs and his comments about them, namely that he would seek advice from them for of his campaign and policy, among others, sparked criticism and controversy. During his 2023 presidential campaign, Milei's critics often pointed to his controversial pronouncements, which have been described as being part of an outlandish and bizarre behavior, to argue about his incompetency to rule. Journalist Juan Luis González said that Milei "is convinced that the dogs advise him in different areas: one in politics, another in economics, another gives him general advice", and added that he is worried about the prospect of Milei, whom he described as an "unstable leader", governing a country that he saw as unstable. He said: "This man who would command the fate of the country wakes up each day, does medium sessions with the dogs, and then makes a decree based on that. It's very shocking." When asked by The Economist in September 2023 about such reports, Milei did not deny them, and expressed his pride, saying: "What is it they say, that my dogs determine my strategies, yes? That they are like a strategic committee? They are the best strategic committee in the world. Tell me: when has an outsider-outsider achieved what we achieved in two years? If so, they are the best political analysts in the world."
Alleged involvement of neo-Nazi and Argentine military dictatorship apologist candidates
Milei and his coalition attracted controversy for the involvement of neo-Nazis and apologists of the Argentine military dictatorship, who were candidates within Milei's coalition. In November 2023, a deputy elected within Milei's coalition described them as patriots. Earlier in June 2023, Carlos Maslatón, who is part of Milei's coalition, accused Milei of having included candidates that he described as neo-Nazis and anti-Jews in his lists, citing the example of Pablo Ansaloni's antisemitic comments, for which Ansaloni later apologized. In December 2023, as the president-elect of Argentina, Milei's nomination of Rodolfo Barra (an Argentine far-right lawyer and member of Milei's coalition) as the head of state lawyers and of Treasury's prosecution office, which is also in charge of the highest body of the State Lawyers Corps and have as its central axis the fight against antisemitism and discrimination, caused controversy and outrage over Barra's neo-Nazi past.
Journalists Paulo Vilouta, Débora Plager, Pablo Duggan, Fabián Doman and Martín Candalft accused Milei of being a Nazi. Milei sued them for this, asking for a compensation of five million pesos, that he promised to give to a Jewish institution. Those trials were criticized by FOPEA as being against the freedom of the press.
América 24 interview
In an October 2023 interview at América 24 with journalist Esteban Trebuq, Milei attracted controversy for his statements and reactions. Milei said: "After Bullrich made her announcement, I posted a meme. Did anybody see the metrics of that post? It has over 250,000 likes and almost 16 million views. On my personal Instagram, it has over 1 million likes." To Trebuq, who commented that those numbers did not equal votes, Milei answered: "When a few idiots are commenting online, you know what? While they watch the woman on Internet, I'm laying on her sheets." Another controversial moment, which went viral on social media, saw Milei halting a segment of the interview where he was defending his dollarization plan to complain about what he said were people whispering in the studio but there was no one there besides Milei and Trebuq.
Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands War
In November 2023, Milei attracted controversy for praising Margaret Thatcher as one of "the great leaders in the history of humanity" and describing her as his idol in a debate with Unión por la Patria candidate Sergio Massa. Thatcher is widely unpopular in the country due to the Falklands War, with Falklands veterans being particularly upset by Milei's comments.
