    Why should we expect the democrats to have a successful election, let alone a strong mandate? Part of why they lost 2024 was because they failed to meaningfully appeal to anyone.

            I believe it was made worse by this administration.

            And that belief is based on nothing but blind faith to the democratic party. You’re a genocide apologist; perfectly happy to downplay genocide when it’s your team doing it.

        “Tepid” is debatable. The problem here is capitalism, and the moribund status of the imperialist stage of capitalism. Swapping out the rudder doesn’t patch the holes, nor can the holes be patched. Even with the DNC in charge, the US Empire will continue to slowly decay until it collapses or revolutionaries succeed in establishing socialism. This is assuming no republican ever wins again.

            No, I’m not an accelerationist. I both don’t believe what you claim, nor is that even what accelerationism is. I am a communist, I seek and organize for socialist revolution, which both has occurred in history and is a practical necessity.

            I do not believe making the world worse is a path to socialism. I believe that capitalism regularly runs into crisis, which frequently expands the scale of each successive crisis, and that at these points the masses of the people can take matters into their own hands and establish a socialist society if they are sufficiently educated, class conscious, and organized.

            Accelerationism is entirely different. The accelerationist view is that we should expedite this crisis by supporting the biggest, most effective capitalists, so that concentration of capital accelerates most efficiently, bringing about the collapse of capitalism sooner. The accelerationist doesn’t want to elect Republicans and sabotage socialists, the accelerationist wants to support the Democrats as the more effective and stable stewards of imperialism.

            I support neither the Republicans or Democrats. I support workers organizing outside of the electoral system, employing the time-tested revolutionary strategy I outlined above. I’m a communist.
