anarcho-accelerationism makes no sense as a word, doesn't it?

It probably does but not in the sense we are looking at right now. Some major Italian and Russian anarchists were extreme far-right accelerationists. Sergei Nechayev's notorious Catechism of a Revolutionist is a good example.

Also the character Stavrogin in The Demons which is loosely based on Nechayev and Karakozov's splinter cell called Hell.

As far as I know accelerationist thought has been present in Anarchism since Georges Sorel and the Italian futurist movement.

Even older than that, since the failure of the Decembrist uprising.

No they weren't. But revolutionaries had put so much hope in the revolt. Once it was surpassed far-right / left anarchist cells began to proliferate. The slogan, either kill Tzar or watch civilization burn became their slogan.

Wait, wouldn't the best decision be watching civilization burn? The Russian Revolution would have had less factionalism if they just waited for the end of the empire in relation to its inevitable collapse.

It's all fine to watch it burn but these guys want to act as catalyzers of doom which never works, bunch of crackpot ideologues doing random acts of terror in the hope of bringing down the civilization. Real world is not fight club romance.
