the point was that it's ridiculous to claim victory on those states since they're obviously still part of the existing order
But on this new point, by your criteria one could never 'claim victory' bc we are either 'part of the existing order' or not. If we are not part of the existing order we are history (i.e.dead) and dead examples don't sound like victory.

if he's going to provide the city-state trading hub (of which there have been many before hong kong) he might as well do away with the pretension of it being some indicator of 'accelerationist' as opposed a structure very well-known even to early capitalism.
-
The thing is he isn't really talking about accelerationism. It's a rather boring criticism of Marxism, but... And why can't Hong Kong, Singapore etc serve as a examples for patchwork? You seem to think that examples can only be radical breaks from all moments in history.
-
on the second point if we're going to place them in the context of similar states in history we have to at least admit those nations, (and by extension accelerationism) are little more than a specific tool of capitalism at a point in time, or it must cede to the idealist argument
-
*specific tool of capitalist nations* rather, sorry
