Accelerationist core proposition

The core proposition of accelerationism is to try to tap the existing potential of capitalism to accelerate the development of capitalism and thus transition to a post-capitalist society. But this obviously falls into the “constructivism” misunderstanding, because accelerationism advocates the use of science and technology to increase productivity to promote the development of capitalism, which can only accelerate the temporary development of capitalism, but cannot accelerate the development of history.Many things do not know whether they are good or bad without speeding up. Every generation needs to speed up and take a look at the results of the experiment, so don’t think that you know everything, and use accelerationism to belittle the status quo in China at every turn.”Accelerationism” is an idea that tries to accelerate its development within capitalism and eventually push capitalism to the brink of extinction. To some extent, it borrowed and brought into play Marx’s related thoughts on the crisis of capitalism, but went to the other extreme when expounding it specifically, which was an extreme and one-sided thought.
