    The only good thing to come out of this Ukraine war is the absolute economic destruction of the EU. Sure, Russia suffered as well, but I’m just really glad Europe will soon become irrelevant for the most part. Not that they don’t deserve worse, but we’ll settle for irrelevance

        The eu steals from its members and gives to germany & co. They also engage in election manipulation. Destroying it liberates the people in the non-core eu countries from those thieves. Therefore, not accelerationism.

          Wanting to destroy a system to liberate people from it is literally the definition of accelerationism regardless of what you call it.

            That’s so fucking stupid. Apparently wanting to destroy the system of apartheid in South Africa was also accelerationism, as was the abolitionist movement trying to end the system of slavery in the nineteenth century. You people will just say anything, regardless of whether it makes sense. Deeply fucking unserious.

                    No, it isn’t. If the European economy runs on imperialism, then the European working classes have a duty to overthrow that imperialist system that they benefit from in order to stop leaching off the global south, and start planning the economy to suit the needs of the people.

            You can’t force me to accept your personal made-up definition.

            No matter how authorative you try to sound.
