Agustín Laje Arrigoni (Spanish pronunciation: [aɣusˈtin ˈlaxe ariˈɣoni]) (born 16 January 1989, Córdoba)[1][2] is an Argentine political scientist best known for co-authoring The Black Book of the New Left (Spanish: El libro negro de la nueva izquierda).
He is currently the director of the classical liberal think tank Fundación Libre, widely known for its often controversial conservative views. He also writes articles for Argentine online media, such as La Prensa, La Voz del Interior, Perfil and Infobae.[3]
Career[edit]
Laje began his career in 2011 after writing a book on the National Reorganisation Process, questioning the number of disappeareances claimed by human rights institutions, while still at college.[4] He has critised Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo and has denounced the use of the White headscarf as a symbol of Marxist extremism.[5]
In the same line, throughout his writings Laje has publicly condemned Marxist guerrillas in Latin America, third-wave feminism and the New Left. He denies the existence of a Western 'patriarchy,' and argues that women are privileged in the West and that it is men who are the primary victims of social and economic exclusion.[6][7] He has also pointed out there is not only violence against women but violence against men in the context of romantic relationships, and argues that this sensitive data is often overlooked by the media.[8][9]
In The Black Book of the New Left, Laje and co-author Nicolas Márquez denounce what they call "gender ideology", which they define as a set of assumptions about the nature of human sexuality that they consider to be anti-scientific and derived from a Neo-Marxist agenda.[10] With regards to abortion, he considers it to be included within the "gender ideology" as pro-choice arguments are viewed by him as neither logical nor scientific.[11] He has also called attention to the emergent phenomenon of feminism among the youth.[12]
On 28 July 2018 he uploaded a video criticising pro-choice arguments while the Argentine Senate was discussing the legalization of abortion.[13] Nearly a month later he uploaded an interview with Juan Ignacio Seballos, a homosexual anarcho-capitalist undergraduate student of political science, who does not want to be called "gay" because he believes the word to be associated with the LGBT lobby. Laje summarised Seballos' position saying that, regarding homosexuality, "a sexual orientation became a political one."[14]
Laje has been labelled as "fascist," "misogynist," "homophobic," "far-right winger" by left-liberal, Marxist and feminist media.[15][16][17] He identifies as a conservative liberal.[18]
Education[edit]
Laje began studying systems engineering at Instituto Universitario Aeronáutico (Argentine Air Force) but after changing his mind while witnessing the Argentine academic milieu, he turned to political science at the Catholic University of Córdoba. In a Disidencias interview he explained that "I understood that it was the beginning of cultural battle, and if I dared not to be an active participant, I wouldn't have the right to moan later."[19] During his stay at college, he also pursued graduate studies on counter-terrorism at the National Defense University's William J. Perry Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies.[20]
