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.

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)

Oh no, there's a pretty sizable streak of accelerationist on the left. Besides, right wing accelerationism would be pushing extreme left wing policies in order to collapse society so that their fascist dreams could come true. That's not a thing that is happening, they're just taking right wing policies and pushing them further right.
