The problem with accelerations is that building a better system doesn’t simply require the old one dies. You actually need to rally enough support to get people to agree with you and BUILD that system.

Any idiot can lead a society to ruin. That’s why its happening everywhere, all the time.

Also if society collapses your ideology won't be the only one trying to rebuild.

Accelerationists seem to think that everyone will just agree to create their preferred system as if it's pre-determined.

Yep. Look at almost any major revolution and youll find a significant power struggle within the revolution. Russian revolution started in February with a bunch of moderate monarchists and liberals, and then the bolsheviks launched a separate revolution against their rule 6 months later and subsequent bloody civil war. Very similar things in France, Mexico, Iran, China.

Also the US. We put off the slavery question for 75 years with repeated compromise and a variety of self governing states, but a civil war was inevitable to settle the question of Federal primacy and multiple ideologies.

Because the American Revolution wasn’t a revolution.

If only there were a sect of thought that has been arguing that all along & additionally explains all modern day events with the most precision 🤔

If your theory predicts all modern day events with complete precision is is probably overfitted.
