I wrote a bunch of stuff (mostly going, "same", venting) but then scrapped it. It's important to remember why accelerationism is the wrong path. (Although I have to question whether "acceleration" that is self-inflicted by the state should still be called something that is usually describing non-state actors. Like... we didnt do that.)
Actively creating worsening conditions to spur more people to become radicalized cannot guarantee to which end(s) they become radicalized towards. And beyond people being radicalized towards fascism, Yes, communists in the imperial core can often (or are forced to) collaborate with anarchists but at the end of the day most of anarchist actions are not towards building material conditions to a sounder future (beyond their immediate locale anyway, and also if they even have any consideration towards organized ahem arms) and most anarchists particularly the anti-reading type are vehemently anti-communist (although I have met rare ones who do read and largely agree with AES).
