Argentina don't cry for me

A woman I admire said that Mrs. Veron was her idol for a long time.

I watched this film 3 times, because it feels a bit hard to explain in a word.

Baidu Baike wrote: "Evita Veron was only 33 years old when she died, and she was only 26 years old when she ascended the throne of the first lady. Her life is just as beautiful and weird as a rose, which is shown to others. It is an elegant and bright flower, burying the spikes under the layers of leaves for itself, it is the blooming season, but it is dying in a hurry.

From dancing girl to celebrity, from illegitimate daughter to the president's wife, how much happiness did she get? She once lamented that "it will never be understood". In fact, the Argentine people deeply miss her. After all, her tragic past is not her fault. If she is in an era of fairness and abundance, a girl who was once innocent and innocent like her, she doesn't have to do things she doesn't want to do to survive. She should be able to choose a lifestyle that belongs to them more. As the first lady, Mrs. Belon has also made the limelight.

"...Argentina, don't cry for me. In fact, I never leave you. Even in my wild days, I promise not to leave you..."

The theme song of the movie " Madame Veron " " Don't Cry for Me Argentina " sang the bitter, twists and turns of the former Argentine "First Lady" Evita Veron, a glorious and legendary life. From the illegitimate daughter of a poor tailor to a 15-year-old dancer, from a high-level socialite to the president's wife, Evita's 33-year short life has recorded too many joys and sorrows, ups and downs. "

Mrs. Veron is still very awesome, this video is pretty good

At the beginning of the last century, Argentina's animal husbandry was strong. Before World War II, it was one of the wealthiest countries in the world. The "European Meat Bank" had a very good taste of stocked grassland beef and was a big exporter of beef. Until 1950, the per capita income of Argentina still exceeded that of Japan and Italy. However, until a beautiful couple came to power, history began to reverse.

In the 1946 presidential election in Argentina, Eva Veron strongly supported her husband. In her weekly radio program, she called on the poor to elect Juan. Although her acting career has brought her a lot of wealth, she has always emphasized that she was born in poverty to show her unity with the lower class. Because of her birth and her sympathy for them, Eva thinks she is the rightful leader of the "descamisados" (the name of a group that supports Juan).

When Juan was imprisoned for angering the opposition , Eva encouraged her husband not to get discouraged and cheer up. At the same time, she also lobbied everywhere, calling on the Argentine people to support Juan to help him be released. She uncovered her scars and used her dark and miserable past to inspire the general public. " I have tasted your suffering ; I have experienced your poverty . Veron has saved me and will save you; Veron will support the poor and take care of the poor. If not, how can he spoil me more ? !"

Obviously, these words of her worked. Demonstrations broke out in various places to demand the release of Juan. The government had to give in under pressure. After Juan’s release, the first sentence was "Thank you Eva, thank the people."

At this point, Juan is convinced of what Eva said to her at the beginning-"I am the most suitable woman for you, and my kindness will surprise you ."

From 1938 to 1940, Veron was the Argentine military museum in Italy at the time. When Mussolini came to power in Italy, populism caused great enthusiasm in Italy. Veron brought him back to Argentina. What he wanted was a middle route, neither taking American capitalism nor Soviet communism. After Veron came to power, he adopted populism. After the end of World War II, many fugitives from the Nazis were accepted, which made Argentina isolated internationally, a vicious circle. Veron separated the Argentine economy from the free market and made economic development slower.

The working class in Argentina admires her, but the wealthy, pro-British upper class hates her deeply. Together with her husband, he promoted the "Bélon Doctrine", founded and established the Argentine "First Lady" Foundation and the Poor People's Relief Center, which won a series of rights such as voting rights for Argentine women, safeguarded the interests of the poor, and was loved by the people.

She often visited the poor class in Argentina , wandering between factories, schools, hospitals and orphanages. Because of her own experience, she knows the pain that poverty brings to people and the injustice suffered by the people at the bottom. Therefore, she hates the extreme inequality of income gap , and she is often busy with financial , welfare and education issues. Too bad...

In 1950, Mrs. Veron traveled around Europe and met with many heads of state (including Spain's Franksico Franco), known as the "Rainbow Journey" in history. Its purpose was to advertise for Argentina after the war. Because after the Second World War, Veron's Argentina was increasingly regarded as a fascist country by other countries. People call her the "Argentine Rose" , "Diamond in Suffering" , "Juan's Ace" .

In January 1949, Eva fainted at a ribbon cutting scene . The hospital diagnosed that she had uterine cancer ...

After the news came out, the whole country of Argentina fell into a huge panic. People they regarded as idols and even gods were on the verge of death . People prayed for this spiritual pillar. Thousands of people named their daughters Iraq. Baby .

"The development of a country is a process of long-term evolution. Each country has its most suitable development model (of course, it will change with time), and it is often not one or two to find the most suitable development model. It took more than three hundred years for the United States, and several European powers, counting from the Renaissance, all countries have spent hundreds of years. China has not yet found its own best development model (pay attention to me) It’s the “best”. Today’s model may be better, but it can’t be said that it’s the best. If you put the hat on it, please detour), but for ancient China, it didn’t take a thousand years from the beginning of feudal civilization. At least for hundreds of years. Those who talk about the bad deeds of the Veron couple have only seen the economic sluggishness of Argentina after the implementation of populism, but no one has mentioned what Argentina was like before Veron, and before Veron, Argentina was quite wealthy. Yes, but this kind of wealth benefits from two aspects: 1. The time when Veron came to power was just after World War II. Every country in the world fought in the war had no livelihood. In this case, Argentina is of course relatively wealthy. 2. Before Veron, Argentina followed a market economy. Note that this market economy refers to the model of neoclassical economics, and what the neoclassical market economy is like in the end, I don’t need to say more. Well, in fact, when Veron came to power, Argentina was also suffering from the aftermath of the Great Depression, otherwise it would not be Veron's turn.

Capitalism developed to the stage in Argentina according to the classical model. It can be said that the social class division has been quite serious (this historical fact I have seen many articles in support of Veron mentioned, but it is often ignored by the argument against Veron. These discourses do not point out the opposite historical facts, but merely avoid talking about the history of a period). According to historical experience, by this period, the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie had reached a certain degree of seriousness, and the ratio of the exploited class to the exploited class had become large enough. In this period, society The structure of the country is already quite unstable, and only a disturbance, such as an economic crisis or something, may trigger drastic changes in the country. And Veron came to power in this context.

I would like to ask, if you are Veron, standing at this point in time, don't look at the next few decades, just look at the present, what do you think you need to do?

If I were Veron, I would make the same choice as him, to nationalize the enterprise, let the government regulate the market in a large scale, and at the same time show a friendly attitude towards the working class, peasantry and other people, and show an attitude of suppressing the bourgeoisie. .

Argentina should be fortunate that it was Veron who came to power that year. Fortunately, the authorities reached a compromise with Veron’s forces. Without Veron, several opposition parties will emerge from below sooner or later, and there will be no room for peaceful resolution of the problem by then.

Of course, as a national leader, he is obviously an incompetent leader who only cares about the present and the future. Veron can be said to be quite incompetent. He turned civil rights into a complete populism, and it was in such a special period that this had a profoundly toxic effect on the subsequent political line of the entire country. However, with the abilities of the Veron couple, they can only do this step. At least, they have saved Argentina, although they have left sequelae.

To sum up, I would say this to the Veron couple: As national leaders, they obviously do not have enough ability to hold this position, but when the country is dying, no one is on it, they are on it, and they are saved. The country, this kind of courage and responsibility, is worth learning. Secondly, regardless of the merits of Veron’s policy, the two have tried their best, not only for themselves, but also for the country, so they are staunch patriots.

Finally, to quote a comment I saw under "Don't Cry for Me Agentina": "Evita’s life experience is complicated and difficult to evaluate. But when I heard "Argentina, please don’t cry for me" again, I I believe she has a deep and lasting love for the motherland." There can be various evaluations of Veron’s policies, but the evaluation of "Patriot" is absolutely pertinent and faithful. "

Fatty Luo is a supporter of the free market economy. For Mrs. Veron’s unscrupulous upper position, the leftist thought of being poor after the upper position is actually populism. In fact, it is a great damage to the free market economy. Ten years of repeated military government is responsible. Madonna made a biographical film of Madame Veron in the 90s, singing the song of Argentina, don't cry for me. My evaluation of her is too: Argentina, don't cry for her! Born in a socialist country, I listened all day to serving the people and working hard to achieve common prosperity. At that time, when you read more books, you will understand Hu Shi’s foresight of "talking less about doctrine and studying more problems". We always think that one doctrine is naturally correct, and claims that the others are wrong are actually not the case. There are many examples of the left-wing welfare state’s huge damage to the country’s economy. However, through the so-called expelling foreign capital, strengthening barriers, and turning private ownership into State-owned, arbitrarily distributing benefits that exceed the fiscal level, will win the support of the people at the bottom, but in the end it will fail. You must know what has become the richest country in the world in Argentina.

Below I posted an article about her by the WeChat public account Jing Chengzi, which is "Argentina, don't cry for her"

The recent domestic strikes and riots in Argentina are in danger of getting out of control, and some Chinese businesses have been looted and looted. Local media reported that some Argentines posted a series of online posts stating: In order to have a good Christmas Eve, go to grab the Chinese. The united people are invincible! Long live Veron! Divide property equally and unite all those who can be united.

These thug slogans were not worth mentioning. One name is worth noting: Veron. Who is Veron? The very familiar name refers to that gorgeous beauty, the one who sang Madonna's "Argentina, Don't Cry for Me"? How did this name become the idol of the robbers?

To be precise, we must first mention Juan Veron, a figure in Argentine politics before and after World War II. His wife is the famous "Mrs. Veron"-Eva. This social flower from the bottom is beautiful, smart, and full of personal charm. She struggled to become an acting star, then fell in love with the handsome General Veron, rescued him from prison, and married the two. No story is more romantic than this. In 1952, Mrs. Veron died of jade, only 33 years old.

If the story is limited to this, Mrs. Veron can be said to be a character in a fairy tale. The reality is that Mrs. Belon is very active in the political arena, and she assisted her husband in creating the "Bélonist" philosophy. This set of ideas has influenced the Argentine politics after World War II to this day.

Mrs. Veron was born in poverty, and her childhood life experience made her have a natural affection for the poor. Her husband was politically close to the bottom, sympathetic to trade unions, and hostile to entrepreneurs, while Mrs. Veron preached everywhere in person. Due to their unique charms, the couple quickly stirred up a political whirlwind in Argentina, and "Belonism" prevailed. In the late 1940s, the Argentine government began to demand "economic independence" and to build trade barriers; in order to resist "foreign capital exploitation", a large number of foreign companies were nationalized; in order to please the working class, the government distributed welfare, raised the minimum wage, and strengthened trade union privileges. Mrs. Veron also served as the Minister of Labor, and she made speeches everywhere as a spokesperson for the poor, visited welfare homes and slums, and strengthened support for Veron’s policies from the bottom.

The Argentine economy broke away from the free market that had been implemented for a long time before, and the entire country slipped into closure and slow development. After the war, Argentina implemented "import substitution" for a long time (that is, imports from abroad unless the country cannot produce it). The government established a large number of state-owned enterprises to monopolize steel, energy, mining and other fields. Argentina, which is rich in pastures, achieved "industrialization" in a short time, but the price was the proliferation of state-owned enterprises, inefficiency, high unemployment, severe inflation, and persistently high fiscal deficits.

Economic problems are accompanied by political chaos. Since the Belon era, the government has adopted high-handed measures to suppress calls for freedom, and Argentina has become the most fascist country outside of the Axis powers. After World War II, Argentina became a paradise for Nazi war criminals to flee. As the army and trade union forces were cultivated, strikes, coups, and military rule became a lingering nightmare in Argentina after the war. Although Veron was expelled into exile since then, his political power has been in power many times, and he himself floated back from overseas in the 1970s and was elected president until his death.

Before World War II, Argentina was the richest country in the world. When Westerners talk about a person being rich, they usually describe it as "as rich as an Argentine". Argentina escaped World War II, but failed to keep up with the post-war national take-off. Since the 1980s, Argentina has carried out several rounds of reforms centered on privatization and liberalization. The domestic economy has developed rapidly, and the per capita annual income has reached about US$10,000, ranking it among the world's middle-income levels. It looks pretty good on the surface, but considering its superior conditions (the country ranks eighth in the world in terms of land area, it has the best pasture in the world; the population is over 40 million, and high urbanization has been achieved early; the country’s long-term peace has become the world at the beginning of the last century. The richest country in China), this level of development is really unsatisfactory.

Veronian thought still has a great influence in Argentina today, and President Cristina came from the Veronist Party (the Victory Front of the Justice Party). Since her re-election in 2011, she has repeatedly nationalized foreign-funded enterprises on the grounds of "defending national interests", increasing government expenditures to subsidize public services, and restricting the use of foreign exchange. Due to the fleeing of foreign capital and restrictions on imports, price increases have accelerated, and the government has continuously introduced price controls. Shortages are spreading everywhere, which has caused great dissatisfaction among the domestic people. This is also one of the reasons for the political turmoil in Argentina this year.

The economic downturn in Argentina is actually a bitter drink brewed by the government's populist policy. Many people do not realize this. They still use the slogan "Long live Veron" to demand both the rich and the poor. People still miss Madame Veron, recreating her majesty in operas and movies, and her "loving the people and loving the people" are widely praised. These things conceal the disaster caused by her thoughts. Madonna's famous song "Argentina, Don't Cry for Me" sang Madame Veron. Indeed, the Argentines should not cry for her, they should cry for the tragic fate of the beautiful motherland.

    The legend of the little man!

    Nima what is this! A musical! From the beginning of the song to the end, I only know how Mrs. Bellon climbed to the top, while the diplomatic visits and eloquent speeches are very simple, and I don't even know why she is respected by the people. Singing for the sake of singing, completely blind to such a good theme! I wasted a lot of time!

Evita quotes

  • Well-to-do People: Thus all fairy stories end. Only an actress would pretend. Affairs of state are her latest play, eight shows a week, two matinees. My, how the worm begins to turn. When will the chorus girl ever learn? My, how the worm begins to turn. When will the chorus girl ever learn?

    Eva Perón: The chorus girl hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear. She won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be accepted by making donations just large enough to the correct charity. She won't be president of your wonderful societies of philanthropy. Even if you asked her to be - as you should have asked her to be.

  • Eva Perón: The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear. She won't join your clubs. She won't dance in your halls. She won't help the hungry once a month at your tambolas. She'll simply take control... as you disappear.
