La transition entre le régime de propriété capitaliste et le régime de propriété féodal est sujette à débat; chez Marx il y a une vision dans le Manifeste, et une autre dans le Capital (plus récente, et plus travaillée).
Une intéressante analyse ici :
books.openedition.org/ensediti…
Le plus important dans le capitalisme, c'est le travail transformé en marchandise, qui permet d'augmenter sans cesse la captation de la valeur (du surprofit) en déplaçant la main d'œuvre, alors qu'en régime féodal précisément les rôles dans la production sont fixés par d'autres relations; et également la marchandisation de la terre, également impossible en régime féodal où il n'y a pas de marché pour les terres agricoles, afin de produire un prolétariat (les paysans sans terre, privés de ressources par les "enclosures").
Notons que la naissance d'un marché du travail requiert au préalable l'égalité des droits bourgeoise (l'égalité théorique devant le contrat et la loi).
Si on retombe dans un système dans lequel la propriété de moyens de production devient effectivement impossible pour le grand nombre et concentrée dans très peu de mains, et la mobilité des personnes en général et du travail en particulier s'effondre, alors on peut arguer qu'on sort du capitalisme pour revenir à un régime plus proche du modèle féodal antérieur.
Bien sûr tout ça est relatif, le capitalisme et le féodalisme, comme bien d'autres choses (l'effondrement par exemple) sont inégalement distribués. Les migrants qui tentent de traverser la Manche ou la Méditerranée sont bien pleinement plongés dans les eaux glacées du calcul égoïste capitaliste; et les "ruraux" de la France périphérique sont déjà revenus dans un régime plus féodal, avec des relations d'allégeance, etc.
Il n’est pas ici question de faire une histoire exhaustive du débat sur la transition, la question de l’émergence de notre système économique ayant été un des thèmes les plus traités des sciences sociales.books.openedition.org

Beijing, Aug 4 (Prensa Latina) The 10th edition of the 2025 World Robotics Congress will be held in this capital on August 8-12 under the theme "Making Robots Smarter, Making Embodied Agents More Intelligent."Ileana Ferrer Fonte (Prensa Latina)
Ca monte ca monte, macron est content, et les français aveugles.
La Fédération de #Russie déclare ne plus se considérer liée par le moratoire sur le déploiement de missiles terrestres à moyenne et courte portée.
En 1987, soviétiques et américains signent le Traité #INF (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty ou Traité sur les forces nucléaires à portée intermédiaire) qui interdit le déploiement des missiles balistiques de croisière terrestres ayant une portée entre 500 et 5 500 km.
En 2019, #Trump se retire unilatéralement du traité et accuse la Russie de l’avoir violé avec le missile 9M729, un missile du système Iskander. Selon Trump, la portée de ce missile est supérieure à 500 km, ce que la Fédération de Russie nie.
En 2019, après retrait américain, la Russie proclame un moratoire. Elle s'engage à ne pas déployer de missiles à moyenne ou courte portée tant que les #États-Unis ou leurs alliés ne le font pas en premier.
Entretemps, les #USA ont entamé le déploiement de lanceurs de #missiles à portée intermédiaire (Mk-41 en #Pologne et #Roumanie) et surtout en #Grande-Bretagne, à la base aérienne de RAF Lakenheath, ils ont réinstallé des ogives nucléaires tactiques de type B61-12. Cette base est équipée pour accueillir des F-35A, capables d’emporter ces bombes.
Aussi, face à ces développements, la Russie a mis fin au moratoire et, désormais, rien ne l'empêche de placer des missiles en #Biélorussie, à #Kaliningrad, en #Crimée, voire en Extrême-Orient, comme les #US.

elon said he went too far in retribution against trump for the one big butthole bill thing (like posting that trump is on the epstein list and other stuff), and it does have some good things in it though, and also he doesn't want to have a sour relationship with trump for the rest of eternity.. also $1 million isn't that much for elon..
twitter is called X now by the way, not sure if you've heard.. he bought it because it was the platform he used and the censorship was getting ridiculous and then when they banned the babylon bee account for saying rachel lavine was man of the year that kind of solidified in his mind that some thing needs to change.. it wasn't because he was jealous of trump's cute little new platform that he wasn't even using..
truth social is a limited hangout that will go down in popularity once trump isn't president any more.. any thing elon touches turns to gold.. he knows how to be #1 in what ever space he is competing in...... cars.... rockets..... satellite internet..... AI..... he is #1 in every thing... X platform isn't any different..... it is #1 most popular social media in the world and will remain that way.. thinking truth social has any chance against it is pure larp..
trump gave people a lot of hope when he won again but he is starting to fall out of phase with his supporters now and he needs to take a step back and analyze why that is happening..

The economic performance of a continuous pyrolysis plant is largely determined by operational efficiency, process integration, and feedstock logistics. Unlike batch systems, continuous plants are engineered for sustained throughput and automation, offering lower unit costs when managed effectively. As feedstock prices, energy inputs, and labor dynamics shift, optimizing cost structures becomes essential for maintaining competitive margins and ensuring long-term viability.
Feedstock accounts for a significant portion of continuous pyrolysis plant operating costs. To reduce dependency on high-cost raw materials, facilities should prioritize locally available, low-value biomass or waste inputs—such as agricultural residues, used tires, or plastic fractions unfit for mechanical recycling. Establishing long-term agreements with municipal or industrial partners can secure steady input streams at minimal or negative cost, especially where tipping fees apply.
Preprocessing stages—drying, shredding, and sorting—should be streamlined to reduce energy consumption and equipment wear. Investing in automated feedstock handling systems with real-time moisture and density sensors can enhance material uniformity and minimize unplanned downtimes caused by feed variability.
A major cost center in any continuous tyre pyrolysis plant is the thermal energy required to maintain reactor temperatures. Recovering heat from flue gases or hot biochar through heat exchangers and redirecting it to preheat incoming feedstock or maintain reactor temperature significantly reduces fuel consumption.
Closed-loop thermal management systems, including syngas combustion for internal heating, can lower external energy reliance. Proper insulation of reactors and pipelines, as well as the use of low-conductivity refractory linings, further contributes to energy conservation.
Continuous pyrolysis systems benefit from advanced control architectures that reduce manual intervention and optimize process stability. Implementing SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) platforms enables centralized monitoring and precise adjustment of key variables such as temperature gradients, pressure, and material flow rates.
Predictive maintenance algorithms, supported by machine learning, can analyze historical equipment data to forecast component wear or failure. Early intervention avoids costly breakdowns and extends service intervals, minimizing unscheduled downtime and spare part costs.
Maximizing revenue from secondary outputs is a critical cost-offsetting strategy. Pyrolysis oil, when upgraded through fractional distillation or catalytic treatment, can be sold at higher margins for use in transportation fuels, solvents, or chemical intermediates. Carbon black recovered from tire pyrolysis or biomass char from agricultural waste can be processed into activated carbon or used in composite materials.
Establishing partnerships with downstream users in the energy, construction, or manufacturing sectors ensures stable demand and higher prices for value-added derivatives. Integrating refining or granulation units on-site can further enhance product quality and market access.
Initial capital expenditure can be optimized by adopting a modular plant design. Modular systems allow for phased deployment, enabling operators to match capacity expansion with actual demand and feedstock availability. This staged investment model minimizes idle capacity and reduces financial risk during ramp-up periods.
Additionally, modularity simplifies maintenance by allowing individual units to be isolated and serviced without halting the entire operation. It also supports relocation in cases where feedstock sourcing dynamics change over time.
Continuous pyrolysis generates emissions, residues, and condensates that must be managed within regulatory limits. Investing in compliant gas cleaning systems—such as wet scrubbers, cyclones, and activated carbon filters—prevents environmental penalties and reduces long-term remediation costs.
Residue streams should be assessed for reuse potential. Solid char waste can be encapsulated in construction materials or used in low-grade fuel blends, minimizing landfill disposal fees. Water used in gas cooling or scrubbing can often be treated and recirculated, reducing both wastewater discharge and fresh water procurement.
Although continuous plants are more automated than batch systems, skilled personnel are still essential for oversight and maintenance. Streamlining staff schedules, implementing shift-based monitoring protocols, and cross-training employees on multiple systems can reduce headcount without compromising operational integrity.
Incorporating remote diagnostics and virtual training tools helps maintain high staff competency while lowering costs associated with external consultants or prolonged downtimes due to skill gaps.
Optimizing input costs extends beyond feedstock to spare parts, consumables, and utilities. Establishing strategic procurement agreements for critical components and entering into long-term supply contracts for power or inert gases (if used) can provide cost predictability and volume-based discounts.
A well-managed pyrolysis plant, particularly one operating on a continuous basis, functions as a highly integrated material and energy conversion system. When technical, logistical, and financial parameters are harmonized, operational costs can be substantially reduced without compromising environmental performance or output quality.
Continuous pyrolysis plant offers large-scale, highly automated solutions for solid waste. At present, the ecological crisis caused by the unsustainableBeston Group

#Polarisatie #Radicalisering
'Op social media kritiek uiten voelt als een nieuwe vorm van erbij staan maar niets doen. Sterker, door de algoritmen op social media helpen zelfs kritische tegengeluiden extreemrechtse boodschappen te versterken – ook al is dat onbedoeld. [...] Het is belangrijk om te laten weten waar we staan, maar het is niet genoeg. De urgente vraag is daarom ook nu: wanneer en hoe gaan we op basis van onze kennis handelen?'
'Wat mij betreft volstaat het niet om daden en gedachten te benoemen. Soms kan ‘benoemen’ dat gedachtegoed zelfs versterken. ‘Luisteren naar’ wordt dan ‘een platform bieden aan’. Gevolg is dat geluiden van een enkele kant van het spectrum alleen maar versterkt worden en daarmee normaliseren.'
Niks polarisatie; rechts radicaliseert en neemt steeds meer ruimte in. I.p.v. hun boodschappen rond te pompen, moeten we de ruimte terugclaimen met betere alternatieven.

And I'm going to continue to call out #Nazi supporters when I see them, regardless of how many times I'm told to go fuck myself because supporting #Substack is supporting #Nazis.
