The ideology of Accelerationism assumes that, in doing so, you bring about an inevitable contradiction/clash that, by working through the contradiction, will eventually result in a better world. This is not always the case, and in many cases the catastrophe/disaster resulted in a large shift Right.
I think Accelerationism preys on Leftism by pushing an over-systematizing thinking towards our current environment to the point where human agency is moot. I think both Althusser and
fell into this kind of Accelerationist thinking.
Now, we can do some lower-case acceleration, like organizing a union in your workplace. That would accelerate a clash between management and your coworkers. It also means we aren't relying on hardship and pain, but good argument and comradery, to convince people of our views.
That’s pretty much what I think too. Accelerationism isn’t really something you can subscribe to, shit just happens because of circumstances WAY bigger than yourself, all you can do is form opinions and organize around them, which just makes you a Marxist/fascist.
