That’s… not what that word means. Seriously look it up on Wikipedia. The short of it is that accelerationism refers to the idea that actively pushing society towards some kind of failure state faster will result in radical change once the dust clears, making it a good choice if you want to get radical change faster. For example this could be a leftist voting for Trump so fascism comes about, fucks things up and opens up the way for a socialist revolution. For obvious reasons this isn’t a very popular idea, but it’s also quite clearly not what the parent comment said. There are other ways to do anti-electoralism that don’t involve pushing the fascists towards power.
Yeah, and I’m asking him what his other way is to do anti-electoralism. If it’s not accelerationism, what is it? Don’t worry; I already know the answer.
And why do you think you know the answer? History is full of examples of people effecting change outside the ballot box without accelerationism; in fact that’s probably how most of your rights came about.
Anti electoralism isn’t “accelerationism”. Nothing i said even lightly implied that. Hate the newest liberal buzzword.
If you’re not accelerating towards the destruction of the system, then how are you destroying it?

Nothing new about it, but whatever you need to tell yourself to allow yourself to completely ignore it, I guess.
