What is Acid Communism? In this podcast, I am joined by Adam Ray Adkins from The Acid Left Podcast to discuss Mark Fisher's concept of "Acid Communism"  and how it fits into his other ideas on Capitalist Realism, Lost Futures, Hauntology, and Post-Work. We discuss the relationship between the 1960's Counterculture, hippies, psychedelia, and past & present socialist movements. We will analyze the problems and lost potentials of these movements and we discuss the potential uses of pscyhadellics and their implications on consciousness.  We also critique problems with rational and strictly material appeals in the contemporary left and discuss how the left should regard spirituality and higher desires for things like meaning, freedom, and free time. Also for those who may still be confused, to be clear, "Acid Communism" is not a political system or a concrete ideology. It is merely a thought provoking concept that is still in its infancy. I recommended reading Mark Fisher's essay on it as well as Jeremy Gilbert's work on it to get a full grasp.  Show less Adam's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art.o.dirt/ The Acid Left Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbLjoC_tct5byCV6JBoQPtA 1Dime video on Acid Communism: https://youtu.be/s-emOouzHEI Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime?fan_landing=true

Delve into Byung-Chul Han's concepts of psychopolitics and how they intertwine with neoliberalism and self-help culture. The discussion critiques the pressures of modern capitalism, exploring the facade of happiness in Western societies. Learn about the irony in self-help narratives and the shift towards gig economies that promote an entrepreneurial mindset. The speakers also envision future work structures, advocating for democratic workplaces and challenging existing capitalist contradictions, prompting a reexamination of freedom and solidarity.
