Left accelerationism is a political theory that emerged as a response to traditional left-wing politics. It argues for the acceleration of capitalist forces in order to bring about radical social change. Unlike right accelerationism, which seeks to accelerate the negative effects of capitalism, left accelerationism aims to harness its productive forces for progressive transformation.
The goals of left accelerationism vary among theorists, but generally include:

1. Overcoming capitalism: Left accelerationists argue that by accelerating capitalist processes, it is possible to reach a point where the contradictions and inefficiencies of the system become so apparent that it collapses or can be effectively replaced.
2. Building post-capitalist alternatives: Some left accelerationists believe that by pushing capitalism to its limits, new possibilities for post-capitalist systems can emerge. They envision a future in which automation and technological advancements lead to abundance and liberation from work.
3. Reclaiming technological development: Left accelerationists argue for reclaiming technology from capitalist interests and using it as a tool for emancipation rather than oppression. They believe in democratizing access to technology and using it to empower marginalized communities.
   Notable left accelerationists include:
4. Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams: In their book "Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work," they argue for embracing automation, advocating for full employment, universal basic income, shorter working hours, and other measures as means to build a post-work society.
5. Mark Fisher: Although not explicitly labeling himself as an accelerationist, Fisher's work on "capitalist realism" emphasizes the need for radical transformation beyond the confines of existing political frameworks.
6. Franco "Bifo" Berardi: An Italian philosopher known for his work on media theory and activism, Berardi has explored the potential of an accelerated capitalism leading to social collapse or revolutionary change.
   It is important to note that left accelerationism is a complex and diverse field with various interpretations and theorists contributing to its development.
