The Blockchain Socialist
Accelerationism and Its Controversies
This chapter explores the concept of accelerationism and its relationship with technology, discussing both its optimistic perspective and controversial nature among left-leaning academics. It delves into the destruction of social structures through the internet, the influence of technology on sexual orientation and gender identity awareness, and the paralysis among the academic left. The chapter also touches on the differences between right and left accelerationism, the concept of capitalism as an active agent of history, and the work of left-wing thinker Nick Land in relation to cryptocurrency and left-wing ideologies.
