Accelerationism, also shortened to Acc, is tricky to pin down. Many posit that it's the idea of intentionally advocating for the accelerationism and destabilization of political processes for their own goals. In reality, it's a theory that Capitalism is "here to stay" and that any attempts to get rid of it will be subsumed back into its own mechanics thus making it impossible to leave or escape. Concerning accelerating processes, there is nothing we can do to cause acceleration or further acceleration.
Accelerationism was originally good friends with the Left; although, after some time he fell out of favor and he generally wandered around the compass, making friends and lovers with multiple personalities in the process.
Personality and Behaviour
Accelerationism likes to move fast and outrun all of his other political opponents. He also talks really fast.
Variants
Left-Accelerationism
Left Accelerationism, shortened to L/Acc, is the thought of believing that capitalist society will only collapse by accelerating its to it's absolute lowest point, so a true socialist society can finally pursue. One last note to add would be that some accelerationists have criticized Left accelerationism for things such as L/acc assuming that there is another agent outside of techno capital driving us through the outside, removing accelerationism from simply being a lens of analyzing deterritorialization under techno capital and some other critiques.
