  1. "#AcidCorbynism is partly inspired by the late #MarkFisher’s unfinished book #AcidCommunism, later becoming immortalised as the topic of a discussion at Labour Party fringe conference #TheWorldTransformed. Now (2018) sections of the party are looking to develop the idea, discussing ways in which a Corbyn project can engender new forms of collective consciousness informed by countercultural projects of the past."

  2. I like the concept of Acid Communism.

    In these times it is important to focus not so much on being anti-capitalist, but to the emancipatory possibilities that lie in breaking free from it.

    Similarly important is to recognise that the prevailing narrative of capitalism as good completely dominates all discourse.

    One's chances at winning are greatly improved if one keeps focus on emancipatory potentials being lost & showing oneself how.

  3. [@jemgilbert] and "The gang present a milestone 50th Trip all about #acid: a drug, a genre, a political concept, a mental tool and a thought corrosive. Looking back on six years of the podcast, Nadia, Keir and Jem decide if ‘acid’ is still a useful way of thinking about left-wing politics."

  4. New intro because I've moved (town, not server):

    I'm an #artist working primarily in #drawing, #photography, and #printmaking, based in #Hastings on the south coast of the UK. Portfolio & shop links in profile. Currently work on my Acid Renaissance series of #Artwork

    I also blog frequently, covering topics such as my #Art, #AcidCommunism, #Anarchism, #Utopianism, #hauntology, #psychogeography, #CapitalistRealism, #Mythology, and #Folklore.

    Me: he/him, cis, #anarchism, vegan, #goth.

  5. "#AcidCommunism is the name I have given to this spectre. The concept of acid communism is a provocation and a promise. It is a joke of sorts, but one with very serious purpose. It points to something that, at one point, seemed inevitable, but which now appears impossible: the convergence of class consciousness, socialist-feminist consciousness-raising and psychedelic consciousness, the fusion of new social movements with a communist project, an unprecedented aestheticisation of everyday life."

  6. "#AcidCommunism became #MarkFisher’s term for a political sensibility shared by both the #psychedelic experimentalists of the #counterculture and by the political radicals of the 60s and 70s.

    It sought to change and raise the #consciousness of singular people and the whole society, be that through the #creative use of psychedelic chemicals, aesthetic experiments in music and other arts, social and political revolution, or all of the above."

  7. "When the cultural critic and theorist #MarkFisher took his own life on 13 January 2017 at the age of 48, he was delivering a lecture series titled #PostcapitalistDesire

    …is there really a #desire for something beyond #capitalism?”

    How the cultural critic, four years after his death, became one of the most influential thinkers and writers of our times.

  9. "#AcidCommunism is an evolution of thought, following from #MarkFisher’s work on the #hauntology of culture and #CapitalistRealism. To grasp what acid communism is, therefore, we need to understand these preceding ideas.
    Hauntology is the belief that the future has been cancelled.
    Capitalist realism is the belief that there is no alternative to #capitalism."

    "The overcoming of capital has to be fundamentally based on the simple insight that, far from being about “wealth creation”, capital necessarily and always blocks the production of #commonwealth.
    The principal, though by no means the sole, agent involved in the exorcism of the spectre of a world which could be free is the project that has been called #neoliberalism."

  11. I've just cleaned out my RSS Feed Reader to remove dead domains and abandoned (no posts for 2+ years) blogs.

    So I'm on the look-out for new blogs to follow. Must have an RSS Feed - please add suggestions in replies (yes, it certainly can be your blog)!

    Subject areas: #Art, #AcidCommunism, #Anarchism, #Utopianism, #hauntology (theory rather than just music genre), #psychogeography, #CapitalistRealism

  12. "No one is bored, everything is boring."
    Erst recht, seit #MarkFisher heute vor fünf Jahren den 'miserable monday mornings' seine finale Absage erteilte.

    Vor einem Jahr brachte das #Hinterland Magazin mein kleines Foto-Text-Essay in seinem Andenken: "#AcidCommunism: Schafft Temporale Anomalien!" – Ein Versuch darüber, warum in Konstellationen wie Lützerath mehr als nur Räume verteidigt werden: cgpfolio.tumblr.com/post/67446

  13. From the blog archives:

    The Psychedelic Gothic in Acid Renaissance (Sep 2019)

    "I’m starting to see those weird (or wyrd?) connections, and one I’d like to start picking away at (like a scab) is the Psychedelic Gothic, a strange overlapping of my previous thoughts on the Gothic, Re-enchantment, and Acid Communism."

  14. From the archives (nearly 4 years ago) on my blog: Post-apocalyptic pastoral and post-industrial

    "So we need to imagine something completely new: the answer is clearly not a continuation, or even a slight reduction, of industrial capitalism, but nor is it a pre-industrial utopian fantasy — some eco-fascist version of a Renaissance fair — in which millions of (the most vulnerable) people would die. "

  16. In some ways — at least with pop culture and art — it feels like the future is foreclosed now, that we exist in a permanent present. We can draw on the past to remix the present but never imagine a future. Stay with me here.

  18. This time last year I was interviewed over Zoom by Dr Callum Sutherland as part of his research (which explores urban expressions of affective politics by interrogating the emergent theoretical and activist movement of Acid Communism), covering topics such as:

    #AcidCommunism
    #CapitalistRealism
    #MarkFisher
    #psychogeography
    #Hookland
    the #weird and the #eerie
    the #UrbanWyrd
    #goth music and subculture
    #utopianism
    #zines

    ...and how they all relate to my artwork.
