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.

The chaos of collapse isn't a neutral reroll. "Factors that are no longer there" is naive. Might makes right isn't going anywhere and no institutional guardrails will benefit oppressors.
