There's 2 axes on the political spectrum. Economic and Social axes. Liberal and Conservative is one dimension (Economic) and Authoritarian and Libertarian is another dimension (Social).

In the US both the Democratic Party (Liberal) and Republican Party (Conservatives) are considered Authoritarian on this 2 dimensional graph.

Milei claims to be a Conservative Libertarian so, in theory, he should be opposed to this. We'll see what he actually does.

There are almost infinite axes. We can do a principal component analysis to find the most important 2.

That's just for the gullible. In practice he's about power and self-serving interests, just like any "libertarian" in office.
