Author either welds the idea to a hodge podge of marxist nonsense, or else poisons the well at every turn.
Accelerationists believe that regulatory capture has made the retrieval of individual sovereignty impossible within the bounds of the law, and so seek, by any means (lawful or otherwise, depending on the type of accelerationist), to bring about a future state of collapse, as soon as possible
That collapse happening quickly, to preserve whats left, to minimize the damage, and lower the time to rebuild, is so favorable an idea, and so obvious on its face, only the hopefully deluded and hopelessly lost could ever continence any other course of action.
Civilization is like a pine forest. For new seeds to grow, the cones have to be opened by the heat and fire of change.
For civilization to grow, first it has to burn.
After all, some men just want to watch the world burn.
And some want to watch it burn because they still hope, they still know, that something can come after.

I got a different gist of the verbal diarrhea - talking about pushing technology to the limits as fast as possible.
There were a couple of mentions of movements by people, but nothing like the accelerationism that overthrows governments.
