I'll be careful here since 90% of people talking about this are purely just memeing or shitposting, but asking unironically here - when is it OK to support accelerationism? I mean making the conscious decision towards the worst and most power-hungry personality you could support instead of a supporting a lesser evil, middle-of-the-road guy who is good at heart but misguided or naive.

I don't see how it could ever be a sporadic tactic. Either you decide accelerationism is the answer and devote your efforts to it or you don't. There is not "in between" where you sometimes heighten the contradictions and sometimes try to agitate for better conditions for workers in the meantime

It's best to either support socdems for personal benefit or the worst leader possible to make capitalism look worse. Voting for Hillary or Macron is worse than Trump or LePen because they'll do the same shit but be crafty enough they don't piss off as many people.

Interesting takes, thanks for educating a brainlet.

Last time I met someone supporting "accelerationism" he gradually turned into a nazbol and then started immersing himself in Evola and turned full fash

Nothing personnel, just sharing my only story with accelerationists

"Supporting accelerationism" is a waste of time and effort. The collapse is nigh no matter what you do. What's important is how we react AFTER the collapse. So the thing to do now is promote leftism, and prepare for the coming hard times, so that when shit hits the fan we'll be able to react effectively.

I guess like just do what you want man

That isn't accelerationism, you're a fucking moron, so are 100% of the replies so far.

Accelerationism is something that relates to the development and implementation of technology of capital. "Making things bad" isn't accelerationism in any meaningful sense.

You'd be an accelerationist if you proposed tax reforms to encourage bourgies to reinvest their money rather than leaving it safe in a bank.

I think this is the wrong approach. I think that we have to build a movement in anticipation. If we react too late, then it is game over for us.

Threads on accelerationism remind me that the vast majority of Holla Forums users are still complete illiterates who think that the primary contradiction of capitalism is that workers have it bad and porkies have it good.

Jesus christ on a fucking stick. Read chapter ONE of Capital.

The accelerationist position is hurrying along capitalist development until the system is ready to collapse. Making things worse through gratuitous cruelty and political barbarism at this stage doesn't mean you're speeding up the process. The Philippines aren't any closer to full communism because of Duterte's massacres. Chechnya isn't going communist quicker for every homosexual they persecute. The far-right's anti-globalist pretenses are insignificant at best or a real deceleration at worst.
If you believe in parametric determinism then keep voting for whoever the WTO or IMF wants you to vote for, you can't go wrong.

I am of the opinion that you should build the party as much as possible while within the current system so as to increase the chance of success of the transition.

It is therefore imperative that one disbands any thought [accelerationism] which hastens the collapse of the system, as the proletariats themselves are thrown into the void of the by-then ideological apparatus, which isn't necessarily communist, but almost certainly capitalist.

In short, it's important to pertinently contemplate between the proletariat and ideology and its consequences.

That's a perfectly valid opinion and I'm not an accelerationist either. I was reacting to the poster who mistakenly believed that voting for the candidates likely to cause the most suffering during their term was the accelerationist thing to do.

accelerationism is retarded, because it assumes that people suffering will make them go towards socialism. Which is despite what marx said not true, people need to be primed by socialist ideology otherwise they will simply go to nationalism, idpol, or someother crazy shit and the fash will take power

Are you implying that Marks (pbuh) could be wrong? What are you a fucking nazi?

We agree. But the movement should be promoting accelerationism, it should be promoting leftism.

Everybody around me is a fukuyamaist and so on and so on *sniff*

Read between the lines.

Unironically read Land

When the choice is between a competent administrator and complete imbecile.
I.e. Hillary vs Trump.

Or don't.

Fascism is an attempt to slow capitalism's decline by holding everything exactly as it is. It is counter-accelerationist.

he looks like sheldor from bazuzu theory

Never
