Sorry e/acc, Accelerationism is Anti-Capitalist to its Core

I think it would have been important to note that Nick Land was initially on board with D&G's vision, but later departed from it based on his changed understanding of capitalism. As Robin Mackay and Ray Brassier write in their introduction to Fanged Noumena:

"From Land's initial characterisation of the revolutionary task as one of pushing capitalism to the point of its auto-dissolution via the complete dis-inhibition of productive synthesis — a dis-inhibition announcing the convergence of social production and cosmic schizophrenia proclaimed in Anti-Oedipus — we arrive at the blunt admission that there is no foreseeable 'beyond' to the 'infinite' expansion of capitalism (since capitalism is 'beyondness' as such)."

For a more nuanced picture of the concept of Accelerationism and its evolution in Land's thought, see my research project. [1]
