Accelerationism isn’t actually real. This decade imho has proven that the shifts necessary to bring about the end of capitalism or any other system are so large that there pretty much is no way you or your individual actions would mean anything. What has caused US power to weaken over these two years? Multiple wars on different fronts that were caused and exacerbated by US meddling in global politics and the inability to manage its plans. That’s just one example but there are many others. There’s no reason to call yourself an accelerationist or subscribe individually to accelerationism at that point, all you can do is form opinions and actions of the events as they unfold really, but it’s not like you can affect them one way or another. You can get involved in collective action obviously, but that doesn’t make you an accelerationist imho.
