Social machines such as our political system function by feeding on the contradictions they give rise to, the crises they provoke—"No one has ever died from contradictions. And the more it breaks down, the more it schizophrenizes, the better it works, the American way" (Deleuze).
The globalist political-economic machine "can operate only by fits and starts, by grinding and breaking down, in spasms of minor explosions...dysfunctions are an essential element of its very ability to function, which is not the least important aspect of the system of cruelty."
Despite its centrality in the canon of accelerationism (with its injunction to "accelerate the process") Deleuze & Guattari's ANTI-Ĺ’DIPUS actually refutes the vulgar accelerationist thesis of both rightists and leftists: heightening the contradictions will not destroy the system. https://twitter.com/rhizostigmata/status/1325903059059347457
It is evident that the 2020 election portends a crisis of procedural democracy. Yet those who oppose the system should pause before rejoicing: there is no guarantee that rampant dysfunction will lead to its downfall; the machine can survive—and thrive—upon internal contradiction.
