Students of cultural decline need to carefully study the case of Argentina. In the early part of the 20th century, this was a booming country, that was heading to equal many countries in Europe in terms of standards of living. It certainly was economically and culturally far ahead of much of South America. Then the great, and disastrous experiments with socialism and its variants occurred throughout the world, and now we come to Argentina today, after these experiments.
As described by a local, below the place has already undergone partial social collapse in many regions, with massive crime, inflation is above 100 percent, one of the highest in the world, and 40 percent of the population living in poverty. Home invasions are common, sometimes with gangs barricading entire buildings and looting and raping their way through. And, strict gun control, done by socialist governments, leaves ordinary people at the mercy of the gangs.
