Rationalizing a political pasting on the grounds that it's energized the base / set the stage for something better is not advised in general, but especially not so when there's a looming recession that's going to be bad for everyone without obscene wealth.
says the revolutionary socialist who believes in accelerationism
I believe those are mutually exclusive categorizations, but that's for another thread probably.
if you have the time/patience, please do make a thread on that as i am struggling to get my head around it, especially the tech component
Don't know about accelerationists in tech, but an accelerationist as I would use the term posits that capitalism will destroy itself eventually because it contains the seeds of its own destruction within it so accelerating its development is a realistic way of bringing about its collapse. (For a variety of reasons depending on the ideology of the accelerationist, e.g. tendency of the rate of profit to fall, dialectical materialism, inability to live in peace, whatever it is right wing accelerationists believe.)
Revolutionary socialists are one side of an old argument about how to build socialism. Necessarily they have taken the position that capitalism will not collapse into socialism per se and there has to be a roadmap to get there. The 20th century fascist phase provided an explicit example of something else that could be born from capitalism's ashes instead.
Lenin said that socialists should participate in bourgeois governments to demonstrate their dysfunction to the proletariat (in the case of the Russian Revolution at least) as part of building political power. I suppose there's something vaguely accelerationist in that but the notion that Leninism and its various lines are accelerationist is prima facie absurd.
