Nestor, please, your name-calling is becoming more and more laughable. It is
you who refused to take an independent class position and support
suppressing working class demands for the sake of supporting bourgeois
nationalist demands. Please go back to your study and rub your Galtieri bust
for good luck.

Workers are underpaid everywhere, Nestor, that's the whole point of
extracting surplus value but they are significantly better paid in Argentina
than, say, in Malaysia or Nigeria so Argentina's bourgeois economy does
benefit from capitalist exploitation of non-industrialised, underdeveloped
nations.

Or, in other words, popular myths are more important than fact.
