Is it seen as too idealistic? Misguided? Does it come off as playing into capitalist or nihilist logics? Or is it about how some factions (like right-accelerationists) co-opted the term?

I'm personally interested in left-accelerationism — the idea of using technological/cultural momentum to push beyond capitalism, not reinforce it. But I want to know what the actual criticisms are, especially from other leftists. So if you're critical of it, I want to hear why.

if by 'shit' you mean, breaking the ruling institutions' toys, that is much better than just jerking off to things getting worse.

Capitalism had two centuries to collapse, it just won't do it on its own.
