That's the thing that confuses me about the strategy. I guess I understand the idea that if things get worse for most people it'll be easier to get support for a revolutionary movement, but a lot of accelerationists seem to suggest either sitting back or actively helping the far right build power. Sorry, but the revolution isn't going to happen if we're all in camps.
Took two civil wars interrupted by a prolonged foreign military occupation / genocide. But forty years after it started! Bam! Real Full Blown Communis- oh wait, shit. It's :deng-smile: doing free market neoliberal reformism. Well... maybe give it another thirty or sixty years. Hope China doesn't go through a period of unprecedented growth and prosperity, tho. That would ruin everything.
"Alright everybody, we let the fascists get power. Then, somehow or another, they will be defeated and we will definitely take power afterwards."

Honestly, I just thought it was a meme ideology.
I mean, this is technically how China did it.
