>So what is the point of accelerationism?
back in the day it would have taken the form of a kind of Marxist Futurism: accelerate the system to the point of its collapse, expose the contradictions, and rebuild.

but then it fractured into its various components: u/acc (unconditional, or universal, i can never tell which, but is basically indistinguishable from regular leftism), l/acc (see above) and r/acc, which is the only really interesting part, given that it more or less derives from the Land-Moldbug relation and its core, and then a whole cosmology of other varying alt-right or NRx reactionaries.

it's still the only intellectually defensible form of Marxism today, i don't know where in the world old-school Unironic Marxism is actually being practiced. maybe somewhere in Italy in back alleys that only Berardi knows how to get to. there's a lot of memes associated with it, mostly well-deserved, but it also asks approximately 12 million interesting questions about the nature of technology also, and is vastly more interesting and relevant today than anything that follows from Derrida or Foucault. Deleuze (and in some sense Heidegger) is the main metaphysical sorcerer. it's more political philosophy that gets turned into lifestyle philosophy, like anything else. but it's imho the most interesting philosophy happening anywhere in the world. a sampling:

this one will help you also, it's worth bearing in mind some of the differences between Italian Futurism and German Nazism, they're often conflated.

Futurism came before Dada and cubism you absolute cretin

Futurism was dead before WWII, due to influence of Hitler's aesthetics.

I was surprised for a moment to see a thread about futurism getting so many replies, but obviously when I clicked the thread it could only be filled by factual bullshit and muh kikes.

OP, I recommend pic related if you want an overview.
There's also a CD that accompanies one edition of Luigi Russolo's "The Art of Noises" manifesto, with recordings of reconstructed noise-machines. Interesting stuff if you're into noise music - Russolo basically founded it (though it didn't catch on).
