e/acc Founder Beff Jezos Calls Effective Altruism 'Communism With Extra Steps'
beffjezos · x · 2026-09-18
Guillaume Verdon (Beff Jezos), founder of Effective Accelerationism, quote-tweeted that "communism was the OG effective altruism" and escalated: "EA is communism with extra steps, except they are hedonic utilitarians that would prioritize shrimp welfare over humans if it came down to it."
Another salvo in the long-running e/acc vs. EA/safety feud, from one of the movement's most recognizable figures.
