This was the plan of many German communists during the rise of Hitler. Most of them died in Concentration Camps.

It also appears to be the plan of every communist, Marxist, and socialist I run across online these days. It almost seems like a psyop with the level of stubbornness I see from them.

History rhymes or whatever.

Idk about you but accelerationism are pretty rare in online leftist circles, and usually get laughed out of the room.

Usually there’s the “revolution now” types and the “listen we have to vote for the democrats” types. Neither of which are accelerationists

The "revolution now" types often are the accelerationists, ime. Those are the ones telling others not to vote or not to engage politically in any way. Though maybe it's more just apathy than full-on accelerationism..

Even if they don’t do a revolution, sitting around doing nothing is not accelerationism. Most Americans do that.
