In this paper we analyse some aspects of the contemporary libertarian speech from a political-discursive logics approach (Glynos & Howarth, 2007), based on a corpus made of, on one hand, by Javier Milei’s speeches and, on the other hand, by interviews to libertarian activists. We explore its social logic, tracking nodal signifiers on topics of democracy, state, and politics. We examine its political logic and the rhetorical movements that shape this grammar. Thereon, we explore the phantasmatic logic, which provides the affective grip to this discourse. Finally, we list three ways in which adherents and activists justify their political practice in democracy, where they subvert their own conditions of possibility.

Keywords : libertarians; democracy; political; piscourse analysis; logics approach.
