Oceanic Accelerationism
"Oceanic Accelerationism" belongs to the public history line where accelerationism is sorted into usable branches, slogans, and retrospective explanations.
Archive condition
The page uses the canonical extracted text as its reading layer while preserving the original file paths as the archival source of record.
Core idea
These pages matter because accelerationism is the archive's most overused public keyword. The site needs a cluster that distinguishes history, primer, and public explanation from the doctrine-like certainty that later reception often projects onto the term.
Primers and histories do the work by sorting competing branches, periodizations, and origin stories. They organize a noisy field into public maps that can be argued over, revised, or contested.
That matters because later debates about accelerationism often begin by flattening distinct projects into one thing. This cluster keeps the section anchored in branch logic, genealogy, and disagreement rather than slogan inflation.
How to read this text
Read first for what version of accelerationism the page is naming or periodizing before following its judgment about the movement.
Track how the page distinguishes origins, branches, or public uses. Those distinctions are usually more important than the headline verdict.
Representative extracts
Definition · paragraph 14
A revolutionary war against a mod- ern metropolitan state can only be fought in hell.[ ... ] For it is only when the pervasive historical bond between masculinity and war is broken by effective feminist violence that it will become possible to envisage the uprooting of patriarchical endogamies that orchestrate the contemporary world order [ ... ] we must foster new Amazons in our midst.[16] An oceanic accelerationism, wired through 93

Do the hyperbole of accelerationism and cyber- feminism point to the rotting potato roots of their project? In 'Becoming Animal. . .' Deleuze and Guattari say: "So experiment." [3] But as Land points out in his stimulated analysis, this leads to an excess of tactics without strategy.
Definition · paragraph 1
One of the strange constructive con- straints of being on a land filled with things was the eventual birth of trade and debt. Economics, broadly construed (and schizo- analytically eyed) threatens to, in a theory- theoretical sense, speed us back to the sea through a technological progress unbound in the form of the capitalist accelerationism of both.
Definition · paragraph 6
The problem is, as has already mentioned, that capital absorbs the basic ecological logic of life (profit over cost, eat enough to keep existing) and expands the cost of existing to the cost of perpetuating capital, and to sustain an endless production which is, in itself, a material impossibility. The accelerationism of capital does not merely mean intensifying it further, but opening it to the exorbitant outside that it has refused to absorb.
Stakes · paragraph 5
and as a choice between, the apocalyptic costs of a masculanized capitalism, or are- turn to utopic pre-capitalist feminist ocean. Are Deleuze and Guattari to blame? Do the hyperbole of accelerationism and cyber- feminism point to the rotting potato roots of their project?
