Solarpunk is not archievable under Capitalism

Okay, let me make one thing very clear: We will never have a Solarpunk future as long as we live under capitalism. Again and again I will find people, who have fallen in love with the idea of Solarpunk, but are unwilling to consider any alternative to capitalism. So, please, let me quickly explain what that just is not gonna work out that way. There will be no Solarpunk under capitalism. Because the incentives of capitalism are opposing anything that Solarpunk stands for.

So let me please run over a few core points.

What is capitalism?

One issue that a lot of people do seem to have is understanding what capitalism even is. The defining attribute of capitalism is that "the means of production" (e.g. the things needed to create things) are privately owned and as such the private owners will decide both what gets created through it and who will get a share in any profits created through them. The ultimate goal in this is, to generate as large as a profit as possible, ideally more and more profit with every year. In real terms this means, that most of those means of productions in the way of companies and the like are owned mostly by shareholders, that is investors who have bought part of the company.

While capitalism gets generally thaught in schools with this entire idea of the free market, that... actually is not the central aspect of capitalism. I would even go so far to argue something else...

The market is actually not free and cannot be free

The idea of the free market is, that prices are controlled by the concept of supply and demand, with the buyer in the end deciding on whether they want to spend their money on something and being able to use that power to also enact control on the supplier.

However... that is actually not what is happening. Because it turns out that the end consumer has little influence, because they are actually not actively participating in the market. The market mainly is something that is happening between multimillionaires. It is their demand (or the lack thereoff) that is the influence. Investors, mainly. Which is logical. In a system, where the power to buy is deciding, the person who can spend multiple millions is gonna have a lot more power, than the person who has twenty bucks to their name.

Hence: 99% of all people are not participating in anything resembling a free market, and the remaining 1% are not interested in such a system.

Money under capitalism

One thing everyone needs to understand is, that for the most part money under capitalism is a very theoretical concept. It might be real for the average joe, who for the most part will not have more than maybe ten grand to their name, but it is not real to multi millionaires, let alone billionairs. Something that is going to be thrown around a lot is the concept of "net worth". But what you need to realize is that this net worth is not real money. It does not exist. It is the estimated worth of stuff these people own. Maybe houses and land, maybe private jets, maybe shares in companies and other things. These people's power and literal worth is tied to them being able theoretically able to sell these assets for money.

In fact a lot of these very rich people do not even have a lot of liquid money. So money they can spend. In fact there are quite a few billionairs who do not even own a million in liquidated money. The money they use in everyday life they borrow from banks, while putting their assets up as a security.

Why capitalism won't abolish fossil fuels

Understanding this makes it quite easy to understand why the capitalists cannot have fossil fuels ending. Because a lot of them own millions, at times billions in fossil fuel related assets. They might own a coal mine, or a fracking station, or maybe an offshore rig, or a power plant burning fossil fuels. At times they have 50% or more of their net worth bound in assets like this. If we stopped using fossil fuels, all those assets would become useless from one day to the next. Hence it is not in the interest of these very rich people to have that happen.

But it goes further than that, because politicians cannot have that happen either. Because the entire economy is build around these assets existing and being used as leverage and security for other investments.

Why capitalism won't build walkable cities and infrastructure

The same goes very much for the entire infrastructure. Another thing a lot of people have invested a lot of money into is cars. Not physical cars they own, but cars manufacturing. So, if we were building walkable cities with bikelanes and public transportation, a lot less people would buy cars, those manufactoring factories becoming worthless and hence once more money... just vanishing, that would otherwise be further invested.

Furthermore, even stuff like investing into EVs is a touch call to get to happen, because the investors (whose theoretical and not real money is tied to those manufacturers) want to see dividents at the end of the quartal. And if the manufactuerer invested into changing their factories to build EVs for a while profits would go down due to that investment. Hence, capitalism encourages them not doing that.

Why capitalism won't create sustainable goods

A lot of people will decry the fact that these days all goods you buy will break within two years, while that old washing machine your grandparents bought in 1962 is still running smoothly. To which I say: "Obviously. Because they want to make profits. Hence, selling you the same product every two years is more profitable."

If you wonder: "But wasn't that the same in 1962?" I will answer: "Yes. But in 1962 the market was still growing." See, with the post war economic boom more and more people got more divestable income they could spend. So a lot of companies could expect to win new costumers. But now the market is saturated. There is not a person who could use a washing machine, who does not have one. Hence, that thing needs to break, so they can sell another one.

The market incentive is against making sustainable, enduring products, that can be repaired. They would rather have you throw your clothing, your smartphone and your laptop away every two years.

Why workers will always be exploited under capitalism

One other central thing one has to realize about capitalism is that due to the privitization of the means of production the workers in a capitalist system will always be exploited. Because they own nothing, not even their own work. Any profit the company makes is value that has in the end been created by the workers within the company. (Please note, that everyone who does not own their work and cannot decide what happens to the value created by it is a worker. No matter whether they have a blue collar or a white collar job.)

That is also, why there is the saying: All profit is unpaid wages.

Under capitalism the profits will get divided up under the shareholders (aka the investors), while many of the workers do not even have enough money to just... live. Hence, good living standards for everyone are explicitly once more against the incentives of capitalism.

Why there won't be social justice under capitalism

Racism, sexism and also the current rise of queermisia are all a result of capitalism and have everything to do with capitalist incentives. Because the capitalists, so the people who own the means of production, profit from this discrimination. This is for two reasons.

For once having marginalized people creates groups that are easier exploitable. Due to discrimination these people will have a harder time finding a job and living quarters, making them more desperate and more likely to take badly paid jobs. Making it easier to exploit them for the profit of the capitalists.

A workforce divided through prejudice and discrimination will have a harder time to band together in unions and strikes. The crux of the entire system si, that it is build on the exploitation of workers - but if the workers stopped working, the system would instantly collapse. Hence the power of strikes. So, dividing the workforce between white and non-white, between queer and straight, between abled and disabled makes it easier to stop them from banding together, as they are too busy quaralling amoung themselves.

Why we won't decolonize under capitalism

Colonialism has never ended. Even now a lot of natural ressources and companies in the former colonies are owned by western interest. And this will stay that way, because this way the extraction of wealth is cheaper - making it more profitable. Colonialism has never ended, it has only gotten more subtle - and as long as more money can be made through this system, it will not end.

There won't be Solarpunk under capitalism

It is not your fault, if you think that capitalism cannot end. You have been literally taught this for as long as you can think. You never have been given the information about what capitalism is and how it works. You have never been taught the alternative mechanisms and where and when they were implemented.

You probably look at Solarpunk and think: "Yeah, that... that looks neat. I want that." And here is the thing: I want that, too.

But I have studied economics. Literally. And I can tell you... it does not work. It will not create better living situations for everyone. It will not save the world. Because in the end the longterm goals are not compatible with a capitalistic system.

I know it is fucking scary to be told: "Yeah, change the world you know in massive ways - or the world will end." But... it is just how the things are standing.

You can start small, though. Join a local party. Join a union. Join a mutual aid network. Help repair things. Help people just deal. Our power lies in working together. That is, in the end, what will get us a better future.

A Texas company is providing the jet fuel for Israel’s assault on Gaza

San Antonio-based Valero Energy Corporation has been one of Israel's leading suppliers of jet fuel for its genocidal attack on Gaza. A new report says the company may be liable for war crimes.

[link]

[nando161mando]

Anonymous submission: "In the early morning hours of September 27, 2024 a solo activist targeted the headquarters of the "Texas Oil and Gas Association" (TXOGA) which sits in the shadows of the state capitol building in Austin.

TXOGA represents every facet of the state's 26 billion dollar industry. A despicable industry complicit in the Zionist's ongoing genocide across the Levant and in the literal poisoning of the earth. Conveniently they are also a political action committee.

Valero Energy, HQ'd in TX, is the main supplier of military-grade jet fuel (JP-8) to "Israeli's" military. Chevron, BP, Exxon, and Shell are also complicit in facilitating the supply of crude oil to "Israel's" military. All have seats on the board of TXOGA.

The solo activist calls on the good people of Texas and beyond to take up direct action for Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen and to fight against this evil empire with their bare hands. Long live the resistance.

Excuse the short shaky video."

Ukraine asks France for Rafale or Mirage fighters and radars for Su-27

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/29/2023 - 08:40am in Military, War Zones

At the moment, the Ukrainian armed forces have the promise to receive F-16 fighters, as well as an existing opportunity for some Swedish SAAB Gripen fighters. However, a discussion in the French parliament makes it clear that Kiev has reached Paris for “some kind of delivery”. That is, delivery of "Rafale or Mirage 2000" fighters.

The Opex360 website reports that French deputy Julien Bayu made the comment on the sidelines of the French Parliament. "There is an urgent request that we must pass on: supply of Rafale and/or Mirage 2000D, as well as radars to equip Ukrainian Sukhoi and MiGs," wrote opex360, quoting Bayu.

Bayu's additional comment further clarifies the "requests" and "intentions". The French deputy is ready to support an agreement that includes the participation of third parties so that relations with Russia do not deteriorate (to the extent that they remain intact). “The alternative is to provide these Rafales and Mirages to countries that have F-16 or MiG-29 so that these F-16 and MiG-29 can be transferred to Ukraine,” says Bayu.

On radars, Ukraine needs to make its combat aircraft available effective. If Western missiles are placed under their wings, the radars should also be of a similar type of manufacture.

Interoperability ensures effective communication between the missile and the radar system. The radar provides important information about the location, speed and trajectory of the target, which is essential for accurate tracking and interception of the missile.

Coordination is also important. When the missile is launched, it must integrate perfectly with the radar tracking and targeting capabilities. This integration allows the radar to continuously update the missile with real-time target information, allowing mid-stroke corrections and greater accuracy.

In addition, the compatibility between the missile and the radar facilitates interoperability within the fighter fleet. Last but not least, this compatibility simplifies logistics and maintenance. When the missile and radar are designed to be compatible, it allows easier interchangeability and reduces the need for specialized equipment or modifications.

Speculation about whether Ukraine would receive French fighters dates back at least to the beginning of this year. The French government has repeatedly stated that there are requests from Ukraine, but for this type of military assistance [combat jets] to be provided, Paris will have to see if, according to certain criteria, such a supply will not threaten the national security of the country.

On March 23, about 30 Ukrainian pilots began receiving accelerated training to pilot the French Mirage 2000 fighters. The training has already lasted about a month and a half. According to the newspaper Le Figaro, the training takes place at the air bases of Mont de Marsan and Nancy.

The French online portal Intelligence Online [IO] reported that Ukraine expects to receive at least 40 Mirage 2000-9 fighters. The investigation of the IO itself leads to possible suppliers, among which the names of the United Arab Emirates [United Arab Emirates], Indonesia and Greece stand out.

At the moment, Paris is officially silent. A visit by the French defense minister to Kiev is scheduled for the end of this month. But it is Lecornu's next visit that is fueling speculation about the delivery of the Rafale or Mirage.

However, after Bayu's speech, Lecornu also made his comment. He said that such a request exists and is not the first. However, similar requests were made to other countries, not just France.

However, according to Lecornu, Kiev has requests for higher priority military aid from France. These include "ground equipment, artillery, air defense, which will again become a key theme for the winter because it will not only be about protecting the battlefield, but also the civil and energy infrastructure, as we see the resumption of Russian deep attacks".

Exclusive: Russia seeks gasoline from Kazakhstan in case of shortages, sources say

MOSCOW, April 8 (Reuters) - Russia has asked Kazakhstan to stand ready to supply it with 100,000 tons of gasoline in case of shortages exacerbated by Ukrainian drone attacks and outages, three industry sources told Reuters.

One of the sources said a deal on using reserves for Russia has already been agreed.

Shyngys Ilyasov, an advisor to Kazakhstan's energy minister, said the energy ministry has not received such a request from its Russian counterpart.

Russian energy ministry did not reply to a request for comment.

Neighbouring Belarus has already agreed to help Russia with gasoline supply.

Drone attacks had knocked out some 14% of Russian primary oil refining capacity as of end-March. So far authorities have said the situation on domestic fuel markets is stable and stockpiles large enough.

Russia is usually a net exporter of fuel and a supplier to international markets but the refinery disruptions have forced its oil companies to import.

The sources said Moscow asked Kazakhstan to set up an emergency reserve of 100,000 metric tons of gasoline ready to supply to Russia.

Moscow imposed a gasoline export ban for six months from March 1 to prevent acute fuel shortages, although it does not apply to the Moscow-led Eurasian economic union, including Kazakhstan, as well as some countries, such as Mongolia, with which it has inter-government deals on fuel supplies.

However, traders said the ban could be widened if the situation in Russia worsens.

Last week, the Orsk oil refinery in the Urals halted production due to widespread floods, which also affected Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan, the world's largest land-locked country, has also restricted fuel exports until the end of the year, apart from for humanitarian purposes.

According to the sources, Kazakhstan's reserves of Ai-92 gasoline stood at 307,700 tons as of April 5 and Ai-95 gasoline stockpiles at 58,000 tons. Diesel reserves were 435,300 tons and jet fuel inventories totalled 101,000 tons.

Brazil seen as potential major hydrogen supplier to Germany

Brazil has great potential to become an exporter of hydrogen and its derivatives and other sustainable fuels to Germany, Sérgio Costa, president of hydrogen and sustainable fuels association ABHIC, told BNamericas. 

Examples include green ammonia – a key input for fertilizer production – e-methanol, which can be used directly in industries and shipping, road and air transport, and sustainable aviation fuels, like e-jet fuels and e-diesel.

Costa (pictured) highlighted that Germany launched a national hydrogen plan, which envisages doubling hydrogen usage from 5GW to 10GW, with 70% being imported.

He said Brazil has several competitive advantages, such as a relatively low levelized cost of electricity, shorter distance to Europe compared with Chile – another potential hydrogen player in Latin America – and abundance of water.

“This is him then... The one who nearly took your helm off?” A jet with a camo-like paint job questions as she approaches her boss while holding a data pad. Beside him is a teal and purple copter with his servos tied up and hanging from the ceiling of a vast dimmed lighted warehouse. Everything between his smashed visor and mask down to the shotgun wound on their waist has either been dented, broken, or beaten severely. 

But hey, the one audial is still playing his tunes, so it’s not all that bad.

Dissect me 'til my blood runs Down into the drain My bitter heart is pumping Oil into my veins

The four-wheeled leader huffed as he turned to look at his right hand. His iris servos are covered in bright pink blood along with splatters across his chassis and face. “The very one. What did you find about him?”

The jet gets closer and stares at the hanging mech, completely unfazed by the scene. To her, it’s just another day at the office. Upon closer observation, she can see a stab wound in the purple mech's throat, precisely where the voice box is located, and can only assume that he was ‘too chatty’ and annoyed the iris mech to the point that he can no longer speak. “You’re not going to like it.” She states before lifting up the pad to read the patch of notes again.

“Spit it out.” The boss growls while looking back at the copter, a servo clenching into a fist when catching him smirking at the jet’s response.

“His name is Vortex and... he’s one of Onslaught’s mechs sir. Thus, I highly advised we let him go or we are putting a huge target on our backs.”

I'm nothing but a tin man Don't feel any pain I don't feel any pain I don't feel any pain I'm rusted from the rain

The vehicle’s engine revved hard. Not enjoying how the copter’s upper frame was bouncing up and down as if he were laughing. Taunting him like he had all the power and is now safe. “No.”

The camo flier vents in deeply. “Look, we can still fix this. We can say it was a simple mistake, that we got the wrong copter-”

“It’s not Onslaught’s style to send one of his after some drug supplier, this seemed more... personal. Besides, this mech had this coming after slicing my neck open and bringing cop attention to my business.” The vehicle growls then swings his clenched servo right into Vortex’s waist, breaking right through the damaged plating from the gun earlier and managing to sink his digits inside. The moment he feels them wrap around something he viciously rips it out. “This is his own problem. His mistake for coming after me in the first place.” He lifts the fuel tank up, crushes it in his grasp then tosses it aside before turning back towards the jet.

Go on, crush me like a flower Rusted from the rain Come on, strip me of my power Beat me with your chains

“Get the guards outside to depose him. Do what you can so this doesn’t trace back to us.” The boss commands, pulling a rag out to clean off the energon on his servos and frame while stepping away to leave the room.

The jet nods, typing away on the data pad to notify the 2 mechs before glancing over to the copter. The hole in his abdomen area is massive and almost deep enough to see the endoskeleton inside.

She hums then turns to make her leave as well. “It was nice to meet you Vortex.”

And if I'm the king of cowards You're the queen of pain I'm rusted from the rain ⁱ'ᵐ ʳᵘˢᵗᵉᵈ ᶠʳᵒᵐ ᵗʰᵉ ʳᵃⁱⁿ

How a Carburetor Works in a Small Engine: An Easy Breakdown

The carburetor is a vital part of a small engine, playing a crucial role in mixing air and fuel to ensure efficient combustion. Whether you’re working on a lawnmower, generator, or classic Villiers engine, understanding how a carburetor functions can help you maintain or repair your engine effectively. This guide provides a clear breakdown of how carburetors work, why they’re essential, and how you can keep them in top condition with the right small engine parts.

What Is a Carburetor in a Small Engine?

A carburetor is a mechanical device that blends air and fuel in precise proportions to power the engine. This mixture is ignited in the combustion chamber, producing energy to operate the machine. While modern engines may use fuel injection systems, carburetors remain a common feature in many small engines, especially older models like Villiers engines.

For those maintaining vintage engines in Australia, having access to Villiers spares Australia is essential to keep the carburetor and other components functioning efficiently.

Why Is a Carburetor Important?

The carburetor’s primary role is to ensure the engine runs smoothly by providing the correct air-to-fuel ratio. An imbalance in this ratio can cause:

Rich Mixtures: Too much fuel, leading to black smoke and reduced efficiency.

Lean Mixtures: Too much air, causing overheating or stalling.

When the carburetor works optimally, it not only improves the engine's performance but also reduces fuel consumption and emissions. For DIY enthusiasts, sourcing quality small motor parts is key to achieving this balance.

Key Components of a Carburetor

To understand how a carburetor works, it’s essential to know its main components:

Venturi Tube: A narrow passage where air speeds up and pressure decreases, drawing fuel into the mix.

Float Chamber: Maintains a consistent fuel level.

Needle Valve: Regulates fuel flow into the float chamber.

Throttle Valve: Controls the amount of air entering the engine.

Jets: Fine nozzles that control the fuel’s flow rate.

Each of these components works in harmony to deliver the right mixture of air and fuel. Regular inspection of these parts ensures your carburetor remains in good condition.

How a Carburetor Works: Step-by-Step

The functioning of a carburetor can be broken down into simple steps:

1. Air Intake

The engine’s air filter allows clean air to enter the carburetor. As the air flows through the venturi tube, it speeds up, creating a vacuum effect.

2. Fuel Delivery

The vacuum pulls fuel from the float chamber through the jets, mixing it with the incoming air. The float chamber ensures a steady fuel supply, preventing interruptions.

3. Mixing Process

The air and fuel mix thoroughly in the venturi tube, creating a combustible mixture.

4. Throttle Control

The throttle valve adjusts the amount of mixture entering the engine, controlling its speed and power output.

Understanding these steps makes it easier to troubleshoot issues with your carburetor or choose the right replacement from trusted suppliers like Small Engine Wreckers.

Signs of a Faulty Carburetor

A malfunctioning carburetor can severely impact engine performance. Common signs include:

Difficulty starting the engine.

Reduced power or stalling.

Increased fuel consumption.

Black smoke from the exhaust.

Addressing these issues early with quality carburetor small engine parts ensures your engine operates efficiently and reliably.

Jet fuel is then further treated to remove impurities and meet the required specifications set by the aviation industry.

Once the jet fuel is ready, it is transported to airports via pipelines, trucks, or ships. At the airport, the fuel is stored in large tanks and then pumped into fuel trucks, which deliver it to the aircraft. The fuel is then loaded onto the aircraft and used to power the engines during flight.

The Role of Importers and Exporters

Importers and exporters play a crucial role in the jet fuel market. Importers are responsible for ensuring a steady supply of jet fuel to meet the demand in their countries. They often negotiate long-term contracts with exporters to secure a steady supply at a competitive price.

On the other hand, exporters are responsible for producing and selling jet fuel to other countries. They must ensure that the fuel meets the necessary quality standards and is delivered on time. In addition, they have to keep up with market trends and fluctuations in demand to stay competitive.

The Role of B2B Marketplaces

With the rise of technology, many importers and exporters are turning to online B2B marketplaces to buy and sell jet fuel. These platforms provide a convenient and efficient way for buyers and sellers to connect and conduct business. They offer features such as secure payment methods, real-time communication, and a wide network of potential buyers and sellers.

Conclusion

The journey of jet fuel from refinery to runway is a complex process that involves various players and stages.
