No but I probably still would not support any movement aiming to hasten collapse, because people with the indifference to bring about what that entails could not be trusted to lead in any humanistic way
Who’s trying to make the collapse come faster? It’s not like accelerationism is a strategy or something, it’s just a reasonable accurate view that helps one cope.
If there was such a movement trying to destroy America from within it would be incredibly based. Unfortunately for us, no such thing exists and instead it’s all chauvinist squishy libs doing nothing and acting like they know the path forward when they are clueless
Yeah, are you suggesting as socialists we should do whatever we can to help the status quo because things could get worse? Should we vote Biden and try to prevent capitalism’s crises? We already do espouse what could be done reformistically for propaganda purposes. The crisis is terminal, I don’t know what you want.
Do you know what the words “revolutionary defeatism”
I don't think the context here is the same as when Lenin coined that term. He was largely advocating for defeatism in Russia because he thought weakening the Czar would enable a communist revolution within the country, which it did. That's not going to happen in the US, if anything our empire weakening will just make people here more reactionary.
You can, and clearly do, and I agree, support socialists within the Imperial Core trying to hasten the Empire's collapse any way we can (which isn't much honestly) as anti-imperialist praxis, but I don't thing the term "revolutionary defeatism" is really applicable to this strategy since it's not going to lead to a revolution, not here anyway.

What movement are you talking about?

I'm clueless too, but maybe I am a lib.
If only there was an immortal science of some kind
obviously the anarcho-marxist-bidenist clique, aunt tifa
