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.

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.
