      Society can always collapse further.

      Until people are fighting their neighbors with sticks and stones with no power or gas or internet for the dregs of the least-collapsed house in the region, it can always get worse.

      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.

      The same way people who fantasize about zombie apocalypses. Free roaming survivors enjoying the fruits of a dead civilization with bits of largely consequence free violence thrown in here and there.

      Either that or they think their ideology will come out on top, and they’re enjoy the fruits of their utopia, while all the non-believers are long dead, having been killed off by their fellow ideologues.
