Accelerationism isn't a thing, and while it would be great if government were helping its own people, improving the material conditions of people is important.
You're right in your last bit - don't ignore suffering. The whole point of leftist thought stems from improving conditions for those who need it.
Additional though - creating mutual aid networks and removing complete dependence on a failed government by creating local networks is a net good. Without these kinds of parallel support networks everyone I dont think there can be resilience for us during a big political change.
Exactly. I think it's a safe assumption the they're social democrats at best, and if you make it then you must also realize there are severe limits to what they might organize. At that point you can decide to stop paying them mind, or judge them based on the role they have taken on. Personally, I think raising money for aid outside of electoral campaigns is just about the best use of her national profile within those bounds, because not only is she a succdem but she's s succdem in a completely hostile legislative house.
I've even seen ML's critique her for this as well. I'm kinda confused at what they want her to do in an institution they say you can't change much in.

I hope they are building a movement to counteract this problem that they are necessarily wrong about.
