  • I love this logic because capitalism has made it its job to kill any competition prove the alternatives nonviable. Chile was trying something truly revolutionary, a fully democratic based socialism, and the CIA aborted the attempt and installed a capitalism friendly dictatorship.

    You won’t catch me simping for Authoritarians or anything, but when the only other mode of operation is a military strong enough to resist the CIA, there’s going to be a bias towards Authoritarian based alternatives. Convenient, if you’re trying to paint the alternatives as nonviable.

    That’s not true either, it takes way more energy to drop your orbit the further out you are, regardless of eccentricity. It’s easier to curcularize near apoapsis, easier to change apoapsis and orbital planes at periapsis. The trick, however, is that bonus from periapsis works on being at any periapsis (ie, a near miss of a planet), just need the speed boost from being nearest the gravity well. That’s what gravitational slingshots are. I think a sun trajectory uses Jupiter a few times for maneuvers.
