So I read this guy's essay called Kant, Capital and the Prohibition of Incest. I thought it was pretty good and I was surprised because I heard this guy was extreme alt right crank and here he is discussing racism, patriarchy and capitalism in South Africa. I checked and yeah this guy is now a legit fascist or "neoreactionary" or whatever and he regularly appears on far right shows. What the fuck happened? Is the rest of his stuff worth reading?

Fanged noumina and the whole ccru were a beautiful cyber post modernism.
>what happened?
The group broke up and mark fisher died. Nick land is the definition of “used to be good.”

Where is the evidence he is a fascist? I thought he lived in communist China? He is a communist

He wants the government to be run by an oligarchical boardroom that appoints a CEO (literally the term he uses) who tries to maximize the rate at which capital accelerates its own growth. Whatever you want to call that, that's what he is. He technically does support Marxist experiments still, but he doesn't want them to take over the world and prevent capital from developing a cybernetic body that can escape human whims. I'm not the person you're replying to, but I don't really think this is too far off from fascism. It's basically Curtis Yarvin's plan but with ambitions of post-humanism instead of libertarianism. The "meth" answer has a modicum of truth to it, by his own admission he went partially insane after a year-long meth binge, but IMO this isn't really the cause so much as a symptom of his madness. The thing about Fisher's suicide is a non-sequitor, happened way after Land went post-Marxist.

I'll just stick to Fanged Noumena and CCRU then. I never really liked Fisher though.

It seems Land just took the whole accelerationist thing way too far and now that's all he lives for.
