Contesto

In a world where tech oligarchs wield unprecedented influence, a new philosophical and political movement, described by philosopher Carlos Fernández Liria as the "accelerationists of anarcho-capitalism," is actively working to realize a radical new conception of human nature. According to Liria's analysis in his work 'Against the Dark Enlightenment,' this cadre of powerful individuals and thinkers, often emerging from Silicon Valley's most influential circles, operates with a singular focus and possesses the vast technological and financial resources to turn its vision into reality. Their perceived adversaries, as suggested by the provocative framing, are not traditional regulators or competitors, but the immutable forces of death and taxes, and the potent, personified symbol of global climate activism: Greta Thunberg.

Its proponents advocate for a form of governance that rejects egalitarianism in favor of a technologically-enabled hierarchy, often imagining a future where corporate city-states or digital platforms supersede nation-states. Liria positions his work as a direct counter to this worldview, arguing that its implementation would constitute a profound and deliberate unraveling of the social contract. The movement's accelerationist wing believes that by pushing the current capitalist system to its extremes—accelerating social and economic inequalities, dismantling regulatory frameworks, and embracing automation—they can hasten the collapse of the old order and birth their desired future.

This stands in direct opposition to the anarcho-capitalist accelerationist project, which often views environmental constraints as obstacles to be engineered around or dismissed.
