That's not really what accelerationism is, accelerationism is the idea that capitalism and technological progress should be accelerated but not because technology good (that's not much different than run of the mill liberalism), but so that capitalism can "play out" itself which will trigger a revolt, somehow.
As the bullshit that is capitalism accelerates more and more people are getting hurt, hurt people are angry people, angry people start revolutions. The idea is that the faster the veneer of comfort is stripped away from people the faster we'll have the critical mass needed to kill capitalism. I get the desire for harm reduction but the more harm reduction is done the longer it will take for people to get angry enough to create real meaningful change. Accelerationist believe that for people to really believe they have nothing to lose but their chains they have to feel it and the sooner the better because in the long run it's the only way things will improve.
Yes, but it's quite capable of accelerating itself, and our efforts should be focused on organising the workers and agitation for revolt, not making things worse.
Your absolutely correct, making things worse for our fellow workers is never the answer. I just wish the democrats would go as mask off as the republicans so people would wake up a little faster.
Remember that accelerationism will lead to fascism, when the predominantly white PB and PMC classes are proletarianized they slip further into reaction
So what actually leads to fascism? Acceleration or proletarianization? If the latter, then it doesn't actually matter how fast things get worse, fascism is inevitable.
Yeah I don't think any of us should be trying to make things activity worse. We agitate and educate. I just don't get terribly upset when politicians/corporations make things worse because I know it's coming anyway and the faster it does the sonner people wake up.
It hasn't really ever been shown that this helps. With the "acceleration" also comes the working class losing power, and if nothing is ever done, then people won't give a shit about the left either.
