Notable historical successes of accelerationism:

The SPD's vote in the Reichstag to unanimously support the German Empire's 1914 declaration of war?

That was pretty successful in eliminating the Kaiser and letting them govern a German Republic like they always wanted...you know...eventually.

I'm not sure I would call the consequences of that vote a success, by any real measure.

Way to move the goalposts <:mad:>

Look, they got the Social Democracy they wanted by handing total control of the country to the German military who promptly ran the country off the cliff into to total insanity. It was a textbook perfect accelerationist maneuver.

If millions of war dead, rampant starvation, a shattered economy, and a fascist takeover after just 15 years that was nightmarish beyond anything anyone back in the pre-war Imperial times could have possibly imagined suddenly isn't a success under your new definition then fiiiiiine, don't vote for the neoliberals. :colbert:
