Good question, can't answer that as I'm not an accelerationist.

I dont think a collapse happens not by itself in such a case, but by civil rights groups, socialists, anarchists, workers and ordinary people bringing it down. It will depend on them to build a better system.

My vote would go to democratic socialism, but most societal systems would be better than the most powerful nation being a facist system imho

Yeah, a controlled collapse led by my preferred party who then lead the new society into my perfect system sounds awesome.

Don't forget the part about where the new leader voluntarily gives up control because they've achieved utopia.

Jup, that's why personality cult sucks. Can't wait for the easy fix that humans seem to like it, even if they know its bad. Evolutionary I guess, we tend to personify.

Well speaking historically if a system needed a fundamental change (revolutionary one might say) it seems that doing such changes in rather short time and rather drastically has worked better than incremental change

Well I would be happy with another system to if we decide so trough fair discourse as a society. Maybe I am naiv, but i consider facism as the bad end of the spectrum as far as societal systems go, most stuff is better even if its not my preferred utopia.

Just a nice, pleasant, fair collapse of society. Sounds nice!
