"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

How to avoid falling into accelerationism (lemmygrad.ml)

The collapse of the American empire would benefit almost every other country. I am starting to feel that since I live in America I should want to accelerate the collapse (or make sure one happens if things start to go back to business as usual). Can someone tell me why this is a bad idea so that I don't make a mistake here.

So first of all, I feel you. I want the empire and vasall states to collapse asap too.

For reasons I wont comment on what measures I deem reasonable because this is still public.

But all in all, I dont think accellerationism is bad in its own right. Imo our very job is to heighten the contradictions of capitalism and bourgois regime.

This we do through calling out the government and their bootlickers in every possible situation. This accellerates the decline. You will be called a nazi, wrecker or whatever but that is okay.

Then, one could say "vote for bad guy" or "stop helping good guy" but that does nothing. Voting makes no difference at all and helping your neighbors is probably the one thing you can ethically do without it having negative consequences on the decline.

But of course, never participate in bourgois parties or groups as they will slow the decline down as much as they can which is terrible. This thing needs to burn down and fast.
