Maybe not #anticapitalist, but #postcapitalist.
"#MarkFisher’s “#postcapitalistisland” isn’t a meticulously defined term in his work, but rather a powerful metaphor and conceptual tool he used in #CapitalistRealism (2009), to explore the possibility of imagining & creating spaces outside the logic of #capitalism.
…a zone of exception where different social relations, values, and modes of being can (temporarily) flourish." -

What appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy's resources. Digito-commodification is the index of a cyberpositively escalating technovirus, of the planetary technocapital singularity: a self-organizing insidious traumatism, virtually guiding the entire biological desiring-complex towards post-carbon replicator usurpation.
Nick Land (1993): Machinic desire, Textual Practice, 7:3, 471-482 as cited and discussed by Mark Fisher in 2014. Article here. See also Meditations on Machinic Desire for a discussion of Land's text.

Toujours intéressant de lire Chatonsky, même si ici je reste sur ma faim. Et puis, je reste sceptique face à sa façon de s'accrocher à l'accélérationnisme de gauche ( sans doute parce que j'ai enjambé ce mouvement pour me plonger directement dans la pensée de #MarkFisher qui a très vite rompu avec ce mouvement en s'opposant aux dérives de ses anciens potes comme Nick Land... Avec le résultat actuel que dénonce évidemment Chatonsky)

"#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."

As políticas públicas que utilizam #SoftwareLivre representam "ilhas de #póscapitalismo", no sentido indicado por #MarkFisher.
Viva o #SoftwarePúblico!"…because it is free and because it is an example of #governmentworking, #DirectFile and the #IRS’s Free File program more broadly have been the subject of years of lobbying efforts by financial technology giants like Intuit, which makes TurboTax. #DOGE sought to kill Direct File, and currently, there is language in Trump’s massive budget reconciliation bill that would kill Direct File. Experts say that “ending [the] Direct File program is a gift to the tax-prep industry that will cost taxpayers time and money.”

“The relationship between capitalism and eco-disaster is neither coincidental nor accidental: capital’s ‘need of a constantly expanding market’, its ‘growth fetish’, mean that capitalism is by its very nature opposed to any notion of sustainability.”

#MarkFisher died 7 yrs ago.
He was a professor in the UK that worked on #postcapitalist ideas. His last lectures are compiled in the book "Post-capitalist Desire", and you can check it's awesome reading list on #anticapitalism:https://rl.talis.com/3/gold/lists/CF9F2F86-68A7-D5D5-CF58-C6772603D8B0.html?lang=en

"…the successful rollout of #NowAndThen suggests a path for #AI and the #business of #culture. This path has less to do with software producing #new work and more to do with tech advances facilitating the ongoing monetization of #existing intellectual property, “content” that is already identified as profitable."

"#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."

"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.

"#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."

"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: https://cgpfolio.tumblr.com/post/674469426268094464/moving-utopia-from-space-to-time-with-mark

Hello w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶ Set-of-interconnected-self-actualising-machines!
I intend this to be somewhat of an introduction, although I do realise that it would constitute a rather bizarre greeting in real life. This won't be a personal account, by that I mean I don't intend to post personal content (i.e. about my real world identity). This isn't really for anonymity, despite admittedly being quite a shy person, I think it's more to do with not wanting to attempt a serious explanation of my context, something which I doubt is achievable through this medium. For me underrepresentation is better than misrepresentation, although I understand if people find my presentation here dishonest or unaccountable.
I'll use this account partly for listening, a sampling spoon through which to experience the soup of conversation and thought. I'll also do some tooting, I like this word, I might have said contributing, tossing new, or maybe reused, ingredients into the soup, but that gives the impression, I think, of some final objective, an endpoint. Most likely, listening will be the larger of these two parts, and at least for the short term, both parts, the whole, will occupy very little of my time. Expect sporadicity and inconsistency!
I also wanted to say something about what I am interested in, this is difficult since if I just say a lot of words then what is there to relate my meaning, my intentions, to the meaning which you understand? "Language disguises thought" - Wittgenstein. Well after much deliberation and many sleepless nights I decided to... just say a lot of words, although do bear in mind that the following list is just that, merely a collection of words that I, at the time of writing, happened to perceive as having meanings that corresponded, perhaps imperfectly, to topics that I am interested in. Interested does not necessarily mean fully-endorse/believe/would-describe-myself-as/is-knowledgeable-about.

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.

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.
