"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

How to avoid falling into accelerationism (lemmygrad.ml)

The collapse of the American empire would benefit almost every other country. I am starting to feel that since I live in America I should want to accelerate the collapse (or make sure one happens if things start to go back to business as usual). Can someone tell me why this is a bad idea so that I don't make a mistake here.

I would have thought a collapse would end more like a civil war due to the polarization of the country. I don't think the military/corporations could outright seize power without the "justification" of democracy because I would think people would resist that when no longer bound by the laws of the previous government.

As zuzak said, it would be a massacre, not a civil war. The US military is just way more organised than any opposition to it. This is why we need to build workers power to undermine the fascists.
