Polar Acceleration Politics

I find it telling, these people who are bandying the term Marxist at the BLM movement, its corollaries, and its contemporaries. It contextualizes their motivations, whether they intend it or not, whether they even understand it or not. It casts “Marxist” by way of a Deleuze-Guattari concept of Accelerationism as the leftist pole to their rightwing pole of white supremacist Accelerationism. The leftist attempt to overthrow capitalism by way of speeding it along to its own destruction resulting in a socialist utopia, as contrasted to the rightwing attempt to overthrow democracy to instigate their racist revolution toward some white-ruled, capitalist monarchy. They may not fully understand this background, but the impetus infects all online dialog and infiltrates all of their comments hence. They are either instigators or puppets, either way, their diction betrays them or reaffirms them in their own rightwing virtue signaling. When they say, “Marxist,” they are only tangentially hinting at communism, or socialism, or leftist liberalism. What they are really talking about is their belief in an impending revolution and announcing which side they will fight for. And they are preparing to fight. Just look at gun sales.


I don’t mean to fearmonger, and I’m not saying this will happen, I’m just making an observation.
