The characteristics of accelerationism make it difficult to put it into the traditional spectrum of left-right political ideology. From the perspective of the attitude towards this rapidly changing technological world, the right-wing ideology is relatively conservative, and they want to ease or slow down the speed of this change. The left-wing ideology sees more injustice in the technological world and wants to change this change. Only accelerationists believe that this kind of technological change is good in itself, and we should accelerate it without any change. Accelerationism eliminates this opposition and tension. It holds that capitalism enslaves technological science, so we should liberate the potential productive forces, make use of all the science and technology developed in capitalist society, accelerate the process of technological development, and then trigger social struggle to realize the blueprint of post capitalism. The Manifesto of accelerationism appeared in 2013 as an anti neoliberalism program of the Western radical left.
