Thank you for sharing and clearly being one of the people able to hold two ideas in their head at the same time, even when the ideas don't jive.
Everybody who feels this way should be celebrating Donald Trump. He's almost finished a job in 1 year that many thought would take generations.
I think they don't completely diverge. I am sympatetic to this viewpoint, I just don't fully endorse it. I think as leftists we should be generous to other leftists and their ideas.
Some do feel that way. Others feel that he isn't a strong departure from where we were already heading. I think accelerationism is bad and we should never put ourselves in a position where fascism wins. Fascism needs to always be playing defense until it is totally defeated. Especially when it supports american hegemony, genocide, global poverty, etc.
Allow me to play Devils advocate. Can you give me an example of a country getting corporate money put of government without fascism?
