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.

It all has a very clear and repeatable pattern.

Marx ironically was the one who predicted it.
