Accelerationists are bad people.

How's that incrementalism working out for you? By all measures it's helped shift your party to the right.

People refuse to come to terms that incrementalism is also a form of violence against the poor and working class. It only works if you have resources or peace in your area of living.

The only thing they know is violence. Poverty is violence, lack of health care is violence, stagnant wages is violence, homelessness is violence. Democrats, along with their Republican counterparts, engage in social murder daily.

Solidarity could help shift it left. But accelerationist have no desire or idea how to make things better. Always easier to destroy than build.

Accelerationism aims at putting fascists into power; thus it is a species of fascism.

Liberals also called civil rights accelerationism, labor rights accelerationism, any actual progress that has to fight government to progress is considered accelerationism.

Then after those rights have been won, liberals jumped on the bandwagon as if they always supported them. Liberals, like MLK said, are the largest stumbling blocks to progress
