The problem with communism is that it can never be properly applied, and more importantly, maintained. The most basic principle of communism is that all are given equal access to resources, which are gained through equal effort.
The issue arises of leadership. With any population over 20 or so, a direct democracy is not suitable for all minor decisions. Imagine the inconvenience of gathering a huge population just to decide if the logs should be brought up the east or west side of the mountain. Centralized decision-making is quick and efficient.
A leader must be assigned to distribute tasks and resources more effectively - but as scholar Lord Acton simply puts it, “Power corrupts.” No leader is completely free of selfishness, prejudice, and bias. There will be inequalities in workload and reward - and just like that, you’re back to having a proletariat.
Accelerationism won’t work because no matter how bad it gets, that won’t magically teach people to use your solution. We’ll just become even more barbaric. You’ll be quoting Marx to cannibal cultists.
You’ve chosen an easy delusion to feel better about a dire situation. Snap out of it and educate people now.
As a communist I do. The fall will make space for the rebuilding of a better world.
Empty words is not a plan
