Making things worse in the short term in the hope of bringing about a utopian society in the long term through social tension and misery… that sounds like a pretty evil philosophy to me. Ordinary people (non-communists) don’t care about some theoretical utopia, they want improvements to their quality of life now.

Am I missing something?

    Way to twist my words with your bogeyman flavors!

    You said it has nothing to do with communism and here I am giving you a quote by Karl Marx himself!

      Your quote doesnt even mention accelerationism, just free trade.

        Do you really chose to be so ignorant just to protect your established bias?

        In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.

        Let me rephrase it for you since clearly you are having trouble here. It says: free trade accelerates social revolution and he, Karl Marx the founder of communism, said that he is in favor of free trade because it’ll bring social revolution faster.
