'''Acid Communism''', clipped to '''AcidCom '''and sometimes known as '''Psychedelic Corbynism''', and '''Freak Left''', is an economically far-left and culturally ambiguous ideology proposed by Mark Fisher. It believes that leftists should take inspiration from and use elements of the 1960's counterculture and psychedelic movements to imagine future political possibilities (but emphasizes not to repeat those movements.)
 
Acid Communism is extremely existentialist, with beliefs such as the idea that the future is cancelled, because every idea of the future has been thought of and realized in past interpretations of such future, like in sci-fi movies and novels.

==Beliefs And Philosophy==
===[[File:PostMarxism.png]] Capitalist Realism [[File:Meta-Anarchism.png]]===
In ''Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative'' Mark Fisher articulates and goes into detail about the famous quote from [[File:Žižekism.png]] [[Neo-Marxism|Žižek]] - "It is easier to imagine the end of the world then the end of capitalism." Fisher shows that this is due to our new [[File:Postmodernicon.png]] Postmodern condition. [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]] declared itself to be the end of history, there are no contenders to it. Even classical rebels have been used to profit Capitalism by buying merchandise of those such as [[File:Guevara.png]] [[Guevarism|Guevara]] or other cold war revolutionaries. Small scale rebellion is to Capitalism's benefit. Along with this proposals for systematic change like those of [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|Social Democrats]] still stay within the realm of Capitalism. It seems as though after the death of an existing system in opposition to Capitalism in the [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] [[Marxism–LeninismMarxism-Leninism|Soviet Union]] we are unable to imagine anything different. Even in the post 68 disciplinary societies of the 70's and 80's there was still not a closed plane of ideology. To put the predicament in [[File:Meta-Anarchism.png]] {{PCBA|Meta-Anarchism|Deleuzian}} terms, ideological desire has been territorialized to fit into Capitalism.

==Personality and Behavior==
Acid communism is different from his mother in that he emphasizes the idea of [[File:CapRealism.png]] capitalist realism, "it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism", the idea that there is no viable alternative to capitalism, yet as he can't stand [[File:Cap.png]] [[capitalism]], he must use psychoactive drugs in order to try to transcend reality to imagine new futures. He is often perceived as [[File:Nihil.png]] nihilistic and an idealistic doomer, but he is noted for being overemphasized in his depression and less known in his optimism.
<s>He may even develop schizophrenia.</s>

===Friends===
 
*[[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism]] - Dad, our futures have been stolen; the material conditions influence postcapitalist desire, but postcapitalist desire wishes beyond the material conditions...
*[[File:Neomarx.png]] [[Neo-Marxism]] and [[File:Frankfurt.png]] [[Frankfurt School]] - A good modern update to Marxism.
*[[File:Meta-AnarchismDeleuze.png]] [[Nomadology|Deleuzianism]] - I agree completely! Deterritorialize!
*[[File:Situ.png]] [[Situationism]] - You were very influential to me.
*[[File:Cyberfem.png]] [[CyberFeminism]] - We created great memories together in the 80's... it's a shame that's all we have left now, memories...
*[[File:Unconditional_Accelerationism.png]] [[Unconditional Accelerationism]] - Yes, we must reject orthodoxies of praxis to imagine new futures
*[[File:DemsocstarLpop.png]] [[DemocraticLeft-Wing SocialismPopulism]] and [[File:Libsoc.png]] [[Libertarian Socialism]] - The dream that we have lost to [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism]].
*[[File:Auton.png]] [[Autonomism]] - You provide an important critique of authoritarianism while remaining Marxist, even if you are a bit outdated. Your aim was to escape existing institutions and we wish to create new institutions.
*[[File:Accel.png]] [[Accelerationism]] - I am basically this but with more of an influence from classical Marxism.
 
===Frenemies===
 
*[[File:Kak.png]] [[Kakistocracy]] - What is Twitter if not a libidinal economy? And I critiqued call-out culture before it was cool. <s>But please stop making fun of me for being a "boring book nerd"</s>
*[[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism]] - You won't really get past [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|him]], even if you pretend you think the end of capitalism is easy to imagine.
*[[File:Accel.png]] [[Accelerationism]] - Contradictions never killed anyone, Marx... And [[File:Landian Accelerationism.png]] Land, we had fun didn't we?
*[[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism]] - Your opposition to authoritarianism is commendable, but your theory is too rigid, arbitrary, and naive.
* [[File:Necrocracy.png]] [[Necrocracy]] [[File:Necro-ghost.png]] - Why are you looking at me like [[w:Mark_Fisher#Death|I'm dead?]]
Line 172 ⟶ 175:
 
===Enemies===
 
*[[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]] - Why must you appear in all my visions? Your greedy evils will eternally remain... There's no hope unless we imagine new futures.
*[[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism]] - You have canceled the future and forced it down to your path... you have left us with no alternatives but to accept your dominion in the world...
*[[File:Sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism]] - I don't much care for you in any of your forms.
*[[File:Stalin.png]] [[Marxism–LeninismMarxism-Leninism|Stalinism]] - Your failures have provided a great comparison to those of [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism|him]].
*[[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]] and [[File:Authcap.png]] [[Authoritarian Capitalism]] - Capitalist realism could transform into either of you to survive, but it will still suck.
*[[File:Authoritarian_Conservatism.png]] [[Authoritarian Conservatism]] - [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism|Neoliberalism's]] most prominent opposition today and not any better.
