The original accelerationist manifesto was written by people who did study history. You can find it here: https://criticallegalthinking.com/2013/05/14/accelerate-mani...

#accelerate was a meme (which, mainly referred to a set of aesthetics) on Google circles around 2011

Since then, the meme evolved into a bit of a war between l/acc (the original sense of the term) and r/acc (Nick Land flavored).

e/acc is a play on this—but a decade removed, the original context has been mostly forgotten

To understand the original historical context, you can read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Accelerate-Accelerationist-Reader-Urb..., which traces it back to, among other things, an essay by Marx

I wonder what Marx would think of Andreessen Horowitz...
