The problem with accelerationism is that it almost always leads to authoritarianism rather than the glorious socialist revolution everyone wants. We don’t need a global economic crash to shift to progressive policies, we need everyone to show up to every election (not just once every 4y) and vote for progressive candidates at every level of government. You do that and suddenly progressive policies are on the menu and progressive local politicians start running for state and national posts - then you can start doing things to address poverty, income inequality, the low taxes the wealthy pay, etc.
Where’s an example of accelerationism leading to authoritarianism? Who’s accelerating? How are they doing it? Is it really accelerating if you are sleeping on a speeding train? It’s happening regardless.
