The big change
Karl Marx demonstrated that capitalism would experience numerous crises due to its inherently unstable functioning, which penalizes the majority of the population. Companies cannot differentiate themselves from one another solely through their machinery, because their competitors also have machinery that they can push to its limits. Human labor can always be pushed to do more…

Le grand changement
Karl Marx avait démontré que le capitalisme connaîtrait de nombreuses crises du fait même de son fonctionnement qui est instable ce qui pénalise la majorité de la population. Les entreprises ne peuvent pas se distinguer les une des autres seulement par leurs machines car le concurrent a lui-aussi des machines qu’il peut pousser à ses…

Representatives selected at random
In modern democracies, the president is the head of the executive power. He or she is supposed to enforce the laws. He is not supposed to make decisions. He is supposed to be a technician who enforces the laws passed by parliament. He should be a civil servant. The fact that he is elected gives…

The power of speech – The seductive power of language
Democracy means power to the people. But the people are influenced by rhetoric. Someone who is a good speaker can convince the people to go in one direction or another, for the common good or not, with accurate information or not. The people are easily manipulated. In fact, a demonstration made by speaking loudly, confidently,…

Représentants tirés au sort
Dans les démocraties modernes, le président est le chef de l’exécutif. Il ou elle doit appliquer les lois. Il ne doit pas décider. Il doit être un technicien qui applique les lois votées par le parlement. Cela devrait être un fonctionnaire. Le fait qu’il soit élu lui donne un semblant de légitimité pour contester le…

Robots
Robotnik means ‘worker’ in Polish and robotník means ‘worker’ in Czech/Slovak. The issue of robots forces us to think about human labor, because human labor is becoming less necessary thanks to machines. We need to support the work of machines so that humans can survive without doing this work. If machines replace human labor, these humans…

The diesel engine
Diesel engines are more efficient, more reliable, easier to repair, and more polyvalent than gasoline engines. Diesel engines produce combustion particles, but their ecological footprint can be reduced through the use of filters and additives. Like all combustion engines, they pollute, but they are the most efficient — meaning they use less fuel and emit…

Le moteur diesel
Le moteur diesel est plus performant, plus fiable, plus facile à réparer et plus polyvalent que le moteur essence. Le moteur diesel produit des particules de combustion dont on peut atténuer l’empreinte écologique grâce à des filtres et des additifs. Comme tout moteur thermique, il pollue mais il est le plus efficace c’est-à-dire qu’il utilise…

Billionaires are often squeezed by autocrats
Billionaires who support autocrats have no guarantee that the autocrat will grant them benefits once elected. Having an autocrat’s ear does not necessarily last. It is quite common to see autocrats discard their supporters. “He who can destroy a thing has the real control of it.” Dune, Frank Herbert. This means that when you bring…

Les milliardaires se font étrier par les autocrates
Les milliardaires qui soutiennent les autocrates n’ont aucune garanties que l’autocrate leur accordera des avantages une fois élu. Avoir l’oreille d’un autocrate ne dure pas forcément. Il est assez commun de voir les autocrates se défaire de leurs soutiens. « Celui qui peut détruire une chose en a le contrôle réel. » Dune, Frank Herbert.…
