About 10% of Argentina’s electricity comes from nuclear power plants. But libertarian President Javier Milei wants to privatize the state-owned nuclear energy company.
So Milei appointed a 23-year-old internet libertarian activist, Ezequiel Acuña, to run the state nuclear company.
Acuña has ZERO experience in nuclear energy. He graduated high school in 2020 and started studying political science in college, but dropped out of the program. He never formally studied science, or even management.
Acuña is also being paid a starting salary that is 10 times larger than the average salary in the private sector, which he and Milei worship, as libertarians.
Acuña has never worked in nuclear energy or anything related. His only “qualification” is that he tweets libertarian propaganda in support of Milei. And the Milei regime thinks that is enough.
This is actually existing libertarianism.

Honestly i am all for it. The best propaganda for communism is the extreme incompetency of capitalism.
First 7th world country
Argentina is what fascist and liberals from Latam projected onto Cuba and Venezuela.
Every westerner should check Argentina to see what’s coming for them and see how dehumanization can happen through the mass Western media onto them.
On the one hand, it’s very funny to call Argentina the first 4th world country
On the other, there are millions of people suffering because of these twats. Imagine living in this hell being fully aware of the fact that you’ll never get another chance at life after you die. You just happened to be born in the times of struggle. Although that should also be the motivation, that the ones who come after get a better world than we did.
This is also why it’s important to have actual competent people in your movement. For us communists too. Because if you do happen to gain control of a country you need actual competent people to run it and if your party is filled with online activists and whatnot instead of legal experts, economists and the likes you will not run anything lmao.
Yeah, I think what you’re touching on is basically the difference between expertise and loyalty. A prole revolution does need people who are loyal to the cause in the highest positions of power, but if you base power only on loyalty, you will have a bunch of people who are very loyal about not knowing what to do. You need a healthy intersection of loyalty and expertise, and the further out someone gets from the levers of power, the less strict you can be about loyalty, as long as they’re providing expertise. But no matter how close someone is to power, if you only prioritize loyalty, you get nothing more than sycophants.
Pure loyalty focus is the stuff of cults; their main thing is fealty to the leader. “Will you do this thing I order you to do, no matter how ridiculous or horrible it is?” That’s pure loyalty focus.
We’ll have to live alongside/with the liberals and socdems too either way, can’t really kill off an entire country of people just for the 5000 Real Communists to remain governing over each other. The USSR had to reckon with it and so did China (with varying policies and degrees), but what matters is that once you win state power, you can enact law. You can protect the revolution and the DotP, and keep these people in suitable posts where they can’t undermine the state. But first you have to win of course.

Well (CW: Natopedia), for a lack of a better source, uh
In Argentina and Uruguay, a ñoqui (English: gnocchi) is a person who is legally registered as a worker, usually for the government, and receives a monthly wage, but who performs little or no work.[1] Such individuals are called ñoquis because many Argentines and Uruguayans traditionally eat ñoquis on the 29th day of every month, around the time when people receive their monthly paychecks.[2]
ñoqui with l*bertarian characteristics
Apparently, even BadEmpanada was recording of this long time back.
You know it’s a strange feeling when you realize that you, someone not much older then the goober here, is more qualified to run a massive part if an entire country’s energy industry.
I’m, without exaggerating, more qualified then this joker. I do not have anywhere near the level of experience to be in that kind of position.
Maybe I should apply…
The US has Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber, negotiating with Iran, which, in part, includes a nuclear deal.
Julia Varvaro, the 29-yr-old Deputy Assistant Homeland Security Secretary for Counterterrorism, solicited funds from sugar daddies, though, in fairness, she does have a PhD and has worked in security in the private sector. She just couldn’t secure her own social media activity.
