Left wing accelerationism, in political and social theory, is a class of ideologies that call for a drastic increase in and expansion of capitalistic growth and technological development to hasten an inevitable collapse of the status quo.

I am looking for some arguments in favour and against this idea to apply in daily life. Daily life as in for example should some software dev deliberately some buggy proprietary software in hope that its open source alternative seems more attractive, or should a product manager deliberately enshittify a proprietary product to make it more repulsive than open source one.

Any ideology that proposes deliberately making peoples lives worse is not worth discussing.

If I'm playing devils avocado I guess rapid technological and economic growth gives us more value to appropriate in the name of the proletariat?
