I know accelerationism is wrong, but honestly, I feel like Americans deserve a taste of fascism and imperial misrule. The Democrats are way too competent in their evil—cold, calculated, and insidious. At least with Trump and the Republicans, the evil is blatant, in your face, and easier to hate. I want Trump to gut NATO from within. I want him to tariff the U.S. into the ground. I want him to drive the usbeconomy straight off a cliff. I’m at the point where I want this whole rotten system to collapse under its own internal contradictions. The world would be better off without the U.S. pulling the strings everywhere.
I wrote a bunch of stuff (mostly going, “same”, venting) but then scrapped it. It’s important to remember why accelerationism is the wrong path. (Although I have to question whether “acceleration” that is self-inflicted by the state should still be called something that is usually describing non-state actors. Like… we didnt do that.)
Actively creating worsening conditions to spur more people to become radicalized cannot guarantee to which end(s) they become radicalized towards. And beyond people being radicalized towards fascism, Yes, communists in the imperial core can often (or are forced to) collaborate with anarchists but at the end of the day most of anarchist actions are not towards building material conditions to a sounder future (beyond their immediate locale anyway, and also if they even have any consideration towards organized ahem arms) and most anarchists particularly the anti-reading type are vehemently anti-communist (although I have met rare ones who do read and largely agree with AES).
