Since when is Argentina socialist? the prostitution of that word nowadays is something else

Kirchners were socialist as fuck for 12 years, now Macri the supposed "right wing neoliberal" keeps increasing wellfare and taxes.

 

Of course we are socialist, we have one of the most closed protectionist economies in the world.

That's not what socialism is though. It is still capitalist, as there is private ownership of the means of production, wage labour and a market economy. What you mean is that Argentina is a social democracy, which means that it retains a capitalist system while providing a welfare state and certain restrictions to business.
