Workers and Retirees vs. Milei: The Fight for a Shared Future

Class War and Market Predation

Contra la privatización: La clase obrera argentina en lucha

We must be clear: the assault on Argentine retirees is a direct attack on the entire working class. While the capitalist media distracts us with the president’s erratic social media outbursts, we recognize these as a smokescreen for the systemic dismantling of our social security. We refuse to be passive observers as the wealth we generated through decades of labor is handed over to private financiers and local oligarchs under the guise of austerity.

This is not a crisis of leadership—it is a brutal class war.

Our demand is non-negotiable: we must establish a new public, non-state, pay-as-you-go, and solidarity-based pension system. This structure must be managed and administered directly by those it serves: active and retired workers. We refuse any attempt at privatization or the further erosion of our dignity by a government that views the elderly as liabilities rather than the builders of our nation’s heritage. The struggle of the retirees is the struggle of every union member today.

International Solidarity Against Capital

The core issue is not the president’s personality, but the predatory capitalist agenda he enforces. As rival factions of the right-wing elite squabble over the spoils of the state, the working class continues to suffer. Whether it is the internal corruption of 'Freedom Advances' or the boardroom battles between industrial giants like Paolo Rocca and the Clarín Group, the outcome for us is always the same: austerity, layoffs, and the theft of our futures. We stand with those defending public education, healthcare, and science against a 'lion' who is nothing more than a puppet for global capital. No worker is left behind in this fight.
