    Accelerationism is usually championed by people that have never experienced or are unfamiliar with the kinds of hardships it will precipitate.

    The downfall of civilizations is rarely a good time.

      Accelerationism doesn’t even make sense at the moment, if a revolution breaks out, it will be a free-for-all, with different groups trying to claim all the power. And judging by the results of the election, the majority of Americans either fully support or are fine with fascists winning. The working class has to be educated, has to have their consciousness built up before a revolution can actually go communist, otherwise you just end up with populism and fascism. It’s very shortsighted thinking.

        They’re absolute morons, honestly. They are completely oblivious to their lack of manpower.

          What do you mean?

          I have been assured by several liberals that this loss is entirely the fault of 15 million radical leftists in America that decided to let fascism happen.

            And there we have the core of the delusion:

            They did something that aligned with you, so now you think they’re ride or die for the revolution just because they watched enough pro Gaza TikToks to convince them to sit out the election.

              Don’t really get this sarcasm thing, huh?

              Or reality. If there were 15 million leftists in America you’d know.

              I voted solid blue, btw, because actual leftists, and not the liberal’s delusional versions of them, understand what’s at stake, unlike the great mass of disinterested and disenfranchised voters liberalism itself creates.
