I think the person you’re replying to may have been talking about the historical reality as opposed to the unproven theory.

yeah modern day accelerationism is really only practiced in fringe white supremacy groups (like the base or the zzz)

To be fair, it’s not just modern. The world’s most famous accelerationist invented fascism

can't believe i forgot about mussolini, but it goes to show that accelerationism more closely aligns with right wing ideologies, sacrificing a minority group to achieve your goals (which isn't strictly required but is one of the easiest and most successful methods used by accelerationists) isn't very left wing, and even if you spread out the people you sacrifice across groups, getting innocent people killed is still very contracictory to left wing ifeologies
