I'm certainly not saying that accelerationism is going to be beneficial but acclerationism can certainly potentially destabalize trust in status quo capitalism. I mean status quo capitalism is the reason people turned to a chaos agent like Trump in the first place. But without functioning labor organizing to give the working class a legitimate power block then yeah acclerationism is just a train speeding toward a fascist or civil war cliff.
