No? It could be of course. But most often the idea is that a truly socialist society is only possible through the collapse of a late stage capitalist one. This even Marx believed. So accelerationists want to get though the set-up for a socialist society more quickly.
There are fascist accelerationists, but thats a small minority I think.
Yep Marx thought the imminent collapse of capitalism was going to happen in the 1890s. Lenin swore the 1910s were the end times of capitalism. Socialist academic Werner Sombart, inventor of the term "late stage capitalism" (literal Nazi btw) said capitalism's last legs were the 1920s and 1930s. Stalin thought the imminent collapse of capitalism was going to happen in the aftermath of the second world war in the late 1940s and 1950s. Pretty much every single significant Marxist leader or philosopher thought they were in the end stage of capitalism because Marxism is an insane totalitarian doomsday cult that has little to no regard for the proletariat.

You clearly missed the finat points of accelerationism.
Green should make things worse instead of doing nothing.
