Blairite pseudo-markets produced sprawling bureaucracy, contradicting accelerationist expectations

Evidence

But working in the public sector in Blairite Britain made me see that neoliberal capitalism didn’t fit with the accelerationist model; on the contrary, pseudo-marketisation was producing the pervasive, decentralised bureaucracy I describe in Capitalist Realism. … What I’m hoping will happen in the next decade is that a new kind of theory will develop that emerges from people who have been deep-cooked in post-Fordist capitalism, who take cyberspace for granted and who lack nostalgia for the exhausted paradigms of the old left. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 2063
