    So, you’re saying that anything aside from acquiescence is accelerationism?

    I feel like if MLK Jr had been advocating Wallace for president that might make a little sense. Assembly against the government/institutions is well within the political sphere.

    Martin Luther King Jr wasn’t even opposed to the states monopoly on violence. He was just clever about using that violence against the State. Clever and pretty self sacrificial. There was routine bodily and financial harm performed by the state against African Americans. Manson was trying to promote a race war to overthrow society. MLK was trying to fix society.

    He was a radical, but not an accelerationist.
