Either way, change is needed. And electing a fascist is going to make change more difficult.
Idk, “after Hitler, our turn” worked out good for those people last century
You mean it worked out for the people he didn't eradicate
This was sarcasm. It in fact was not them after Hitler because he was a dictator who killed them. The idea that we should sit out this election to punish Dems is fucking idiotic because fascist authoritarians tend to clean house of people they dislike.
Also, people aren't going to turn to people that did nothing to oppose fascism to rebuild their society after it was destroyed by fascists. People will say "you were right about that Trump guy." They won't out of nowhere say "you were right about this socialist thing, by golly I wish I did nothing to stop fascism like you did! Why if I was more like you... well things would've still gotten destroyed because you did nothing. But I could've felt smug about things like you are. I want to be more like you!"

I've come back around to the thought that even by the metric of working as intended, the system is broken
Yeah, it's not late stage capitalism, it's peak capitalism.
There is no perfect system, every system needs to be fought over, lest it gets overtaken by those working against you. Destroying the current system also destroys every benefit you already fought for.
Getting rid of monarchy famously destroyed all the benefits that enlightenment brought the people. /s
Yeah, and as we all know it goes very smoothly with no long running issues. France in the early 1790s was a great place for all, if memory serves.
So... are you pro or anti monarchy...? O.o
Anti-monarch, but anti-accellerationist too. I'm sure you can see what part I was responding to.
Destroying systems isn't necessarily accelerationist.
Maybe not a necessity, but it's there much more often than not.
Everyone talks about destroying the system, but not nearly as much about the systems that are to be built in its place or how to transition between them without mass violence that is wanted and encouraged by accelerationists to take down the system. Sure, community self defence networks help, but you're still at the mercy of whatever shithead takes the reigns in the inevitable power vacuum. Especially if you can't make/keep a large enough coalition to keep everything from falling apart into everyone's personal fiefdom.

Most monarchies didn't get 'destroyed' and most peasants living under monarchies didn't have much to lose to begin with. The world is much more interconnected now.

Yep the current capitalist world order benefits infinite extracting moneyed interests by mass exploitation and it must be completely destroyed.
I prefer the term "technofeudalism"

As long as you can vote, the system can be fixed. If you don't vote the system may get to a point where it can't be fixed.
If you want that outcome go watch the movie Civil War. You're likely to be one of the people in that refugee camp, or maybe in a mass grave because you're the "wrong kind of American". That's the kind of shit that happens when the system is destroyed.
Um, excuse me, this is a circle jerk. Get out of here with your facts.

Careful, you're going to make a lot of the dotworld liberals very upset with this one.
Welp
Capitalism will never be destroyed. Too many settlers would rather be in the middle class than stop it.
