In the wake of President Javier Milei's recent triumph in Argentina, with only two years of political experience, one question that arises is: what rhetoric and arguments sustain his far-right discourse in a global context of the rise of new fascisms? One of the central axes to comprehend and elucidate this question relates to the role of intellectuals in shaping contemporary social discourse, as these actors often emerge as privileged producers of worldviews and set the course of political discussions. This study aims to analyze, from a socio-discursive perspective, the Twitter discourses of the Cordoban writer and influencer Agustín Laje, considered by many as a fundamental figure for the Latin American right, in order to understand and characterize the central and peripheral subjects that this actor proposes in his speeches on social media. The research hypothesis is that these discourses construct and reproduce subjects who are marginalized (the "leftists," communists, feminists, those labeled as "lazy," those who live off the State, and all those who do not represent the traditional values they claim to protect), while configuring other central subjects who defend "libertarian" worldviews based on private property and individual agency in contrast to classical ideas of community and collectivity.
