Part 1:
Capital is sentient whiten a global capitalist order, capital controls every micron of reality, thought, and behavior. Whether we are conscious of this or not. Technology is produced by corporations, and just like every other person, place, and thing, its purpose is to make profit. It does this by destroying nature , reality, and the public space, replacing it with a simulation of the once real that is then sold back to us. Thus, turning the public private and commodifying reality itself by the process of deterritorializing social interaction and human labor. Taken to its extreme, eventually the whole of reality will be destroyed and replaced with a simulation, since capital demands eternal growth. So capital is sentient and it seeks the extinction of all human life

>Capital is sentient

Stopped reading right there

Now try to think of the praxis part, where everything else is supposed to come together through the actions of every single individual. How would you persuade people to adopt your ideology? Would governments that are currently in place be realistically able to adopt policies based on what you promote, without causing disastrous changes to society?

Part 2:
Technology will be the narrative of the 21st century. The one thing that binds us and alienates us. In a post cold war world where linear history has been shattered, turned into multiple histories, i argue that since nation, race, can no longer bind us in a global society, technology will. There will be those who seek to accelrate the process. There will be those who seek to destroy technology itself. But i argue there is a third option. The re purposing of technology

Part 3:
Rather than being the creation of corporations for the purpose of profit. Tech would be the creation of the government for the purpose of the proletariat. Rather than the creation of simulations. the purpose of technolgy would seek to create the real. Rather than the destruction of nature. The purpose of technology would be to preserve and generate nature. Rather than the destruction of human interaction, technology would seek to create human interaction. Rather than the destruction of human labor power, the creation of technolgy would seek to give humans purpose and meaning.
Rather than the expansion of the private sphere, technology would be the expansion of the public sphere. And nature itself.
The name i have come up with is "Transformism".
It opposes accelrationism and primatavism

I suggest you to read a bit of history and classical political philosophy (Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Marx) to ground your feet on how society really works. Instead of focusing too much on the big picture, you should think about a set of interconnected smaller pictures. The question of technology and economic development might be important, but you must also take into consideration the people behind the machines.

>>12523179
This. Too much socio-political analysis today focuses on the systems, not the people behind them.

Good point. I didnt think of that.

To add on to transforming the purpose of technology i guess we could create a culture of changing the use of technology.

I will call this the transform/change idea.

yeah its called anti-semitism buddy get with the times

The one massive issue with this is that this is just left accelerationism rebranded

Imagine being slower than an asselerationist.

"In the era of its real domination, capital has run away (as the cyberneticians put it), it has escaped. [7] It is no longer controlled by human beings. (Human beings in the form of proletarians might, at least passively, represent a barrier to capital.) It is no longer limited by nature. Some production processes carried out over periods of time lead to clashes with natural barriers: increase in the number of human beings, destruction of nature, pollution. But these barriers cannot be theoretically regarded as barriers which capital cannot supersede. At present there are three possible courses for the capitalist mode of production (in addition to the destruction of humanity - a hypothesis that cannot be ignored):

complete autonomy of capital: a mechanistic utopia where human beings become simple accessories of an automated system, though still retaining an executive role;
mutation of the human being, or rather a change of the species: production of a perfectly programmable being which has lost all the characteristics of the species Homo sapiens. This would not require an automatized system, since this perfect human being would be made to do whatever is required;
generalized lunacy: in the place of human beings, and on the basis of their present limitations, capital realizes everything they desire (normal or abnormal), but human beings cannot find themselves and enjoyment continually lies in the future. The human being is carried off in the run-away of capital, and keeps it going."

>believes that Humans will remain in control post Automation

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

I think you need to read more, this is like babbys first accelerationist shitpost

>>12523311
>can't read
>thinks there is only one path
Fuck off, asselerationist.

This or unless you live near unspoiled nature (and if you do, chances are your internet isn't great).
