I think it would have been important to note that Nick Land was initially on board with D&amp;G&#x27;s vision, but later departed from it based on his changed understanding of capitalism. As Robin Mackay and Ray Brassier write in their introduction to <i>Fanged Noumena:</i><p>&quot;From Land&#x27;s initial characterisation of the revolutionary task as one of pushing capitalism to the point of its auto-dissolution via the complete dis-inhibition of productive synthesis — a dis-inhibition announcing the convergence of social production and cosmic schizophrenia proclaimed in <i>Anti-Oedipus</i> — we arrive at the blunt admission that there is no foreseeable &#x27;beyond&#x27; to the &#x27;infinite&#x27; expansion of capitalism (since capitalism is &#x27;beyondness&#x27; as such).&quot; [0]<p>For a more nuanced picture of the concept of Accelerationism and its evolution in Land&#x27;s thought, see my research project.
