"The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip."
Landian Accelerationism, also called Right Accelerationism often shortened to R/Acc,
History
Beliefs
Accelerationism
Nick Land believes that rapid technological advancement should be embraced, and it will lead to dismantling of society's current structure. He believes that in order for system to be improved, it must be pushed towards its collapse instead of being reformed.
Part of these ideas is so-called hyperstition. The Hyperstition (portmanteau of "superstition" and "hyper") is an ideas than bring its own reality due to existing as an idea.
Capitalism
Land views unregulated capitalism mixed with the technology as means to cause collapse of current social order. He sees the market system as very adaptive, thus capable of brining innovation and progress.
Dark Enlightenment
Land's Dark Enlightenment opposed egalitarianism and criticized fundamental principles of liberal democracy. Philosophy supports more hierarchical state in form of absolute monarchy.

Relationships
Outside(rs)
Accelerationism - The story goes like this.....
Capitalism - The unconditionally accelerating machinic force heading towards a runaway.
Post-Humanism - It came from the future.
Dengism - A realm that shows an illiberal order is perfect for capitalism.
Neoreactionaryism - This project onto which we expose reaction to the outside.
Middling
CyberFeminism - I don't agree with the idea that capital is feminizing humanity, nor do I disagree with it. But your communist allegiances are not workable at all.
LesbiaNRx - Same for plant, albeit it’s worse here because you’re a hot anarchist hiding under the coat of a cold anarchist. Please stick to your g/acc stuff and not move in your weird anarchist direction—we’ve had enough academic incompetence.
Inside(rs)
Luddism - There is no exit.
Progressivism - You are holding capital back, Agent for the Human Security System
Acid Communism - The idea of a "left accelerationism" is so idiotic it doesn't even deserve a critique.
Humanism - "To comprehend the emergence of our contemporary predicament, characterized by relentless, totalizing, state expansion, the proliferation of spurious positive ‘human rights’ (claims on the resources of others backed by coercive bureaucracies), politicized money, reckless evangelical ‘wars for democracy’, and comprehensive thought control arrayed in defense of universalistic dogma (accompanied by the degradation of science into a government public relations function), it is necessary to ask how Massachusetts came to conquer the world, as Moldbug does. With every year that passes, the international ideal of sound governance finds itself approximating more closely and rigidly to them standards set by the Grievance Studies departments of New England universities. This is the divine providence of the ranters and levelers, elevated to a planetary teleology, and consolidated as the reign of the Cathedral."
Right-Wing Populism &
National Agrarianism - The Cracker Factory
Feminism - Young American men have finally learnt (in sufficient numbers) that there's no functional difference between pretty women weeping pitifully and raving dysgenic freaks threatening to kill them.
