It's funny when you have a system which is clearly failing, taking a country which long ago was one of the most prosperous in the world, and then a change in the system destroys that prosperity, and then people complain when that long-term failing system is changed rather than doubled down on.
Any idiot can see that when the state takes too much control the system quickly becomes worse for the people and eventually the government too. There's literally an entire planet and thousands of years to demonstrate this concept, yet bizarrely, many people still actively embrace the prospect of having their freedom and autonomy being taken away.
Name an evil dictatorship which allows its citizens the right to bear arms. You can't. Name a communist country which hasn't banned guns. You can't. Name a communist country where the population doesn't suffer and largely want to escape. You can't. Why the heck would you want to move in the direction of a model of human suffering and economic collapse? Argentina itself is just one of many examples around the world. Surely when things have been getting worse long term, a reversal in policies is a good thing.
As for issues like abortion, it's a philosophical issue not hugely relevant to economics, not really worth bringing up here.
If you think less state control over education systems is bad, you've obviously never spent much time having anything to do with socialist/communist countries. Whether you look at the hideous state of education in full blown state-controlled systems where some of the core subjects are propaganda which is absolutely untrue (check out the Chinese education system, it's nothing short of horrifying, and I've been to other countries where the indoctrination goes as far as having communist propaganda blared on loud speakers so you can hear it over the whole town at 6AM and 6AM every day of the year), or look at the incredible decline in the American education system over the last 10-20 years as the country has moved to a more socialist model - it has become a complete joke. Governments are not your loving parents with the goal of caring for you above all else. Governments are not all wise. Education completely controlled by the state, especially a state which has been allowed to have too much power, becomes government-serving propaganda (history and current examples all over the world show this). Governments do not create wealth - private enterprises allowed to function unimpeded by excessive government control create wealth.
Argentina is not unique but it serves as a fantastic example of what not to do, the horrible collapse of Argentina over a very long time is clearly the result of bad policy, and it's surreal to see adults lamenting the reversal of such destructive policies. Good on the Argentinan people for voting in a government which wants to minimise itself and give more freedom, power and autonomy back to the people. Shame on anyone who actively encourages the removal of their own freedom and the freedom of other people, may they read a history book and/or compare current day countries with heavier and lighter government control of the population.
