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.

[@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."

But sadly, no one seriously took up his Acid Communism paradigm after his suicide and "Fully Automated Luxury Communism" remained merely a meme rather than becoming a serious rallying cry and political project.

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.

Two figures stand close together in semi-darkness lit by a single light source above them to the right. The figure on the left is at a 45 degree angle to us and holds a sword upright in their right hand, the figure on the right is facing us directly and holds a small heart-shaped mirror in their left hand, directly pointed at us.

Both figures are draped in gauze-like material, wearing headdresses in the forms of sun crown halos, with golden rays forming semi-circles above their heads. Beneath the gauze the top half of their faces/heads are covered with jewel-encrusted masks, and their lower faces seem golden. They have jewels, necklaces, and embroidered ribbons of cloth draped around their necks and covering their chests.

A figure’s head and shoulders are shown against an indistinct background. The figure’s head and top half of their face is covered with a mask/headdress made of faded pink, purple, white, and lavender roses. Some of the petals are covered with traces of cobwebs.

The figure’s lips are painted red, and their skin is alabaster. They have further strings of flowers around their neck, hanging down over their chest, similarly covered in cobwebs.

A drawing of five people walking in line. The first is blindfolded, the second wears a robe and face paint, the third wears a mask with a crow's bill, the fourth wears ancient Hellenic makeup, the fifth is mainly in shadow

"#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."

"#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."

#AcidCommunism #MarkFisher
"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."

The philosophers Armen Avanessian and Mark Fisher meet in Innsbruck at a Zirbelstuben-like venue to talk over Semmeln and coffee about smartphones, depression and the ambiguities of academic life.
