Acid Communism, clipped to AcidCom and sometimes known as Narco-Communism, 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.)
He 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 and whatnot.
History
Acid Communism, as proposed by Mark Fisher, has origins in Jacques Derrida's book The Spectres of Marx in 1993. All that Fisher had written on it was an introduction for a potential book, which was never finished due to his suicide. The unfinished introduction can be read in K-Punk: The Collected and Unpublished Writings of Mark Fisher (2004-2016).
Beliefs And Philosophy
Capitalist Realism
Hauntology And Lost Futures
Acid In Political Struggle
Personality and Behavior
He is different from his mother in that he emphasizes the idea of 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 capitalism, he must use psychoactive drugs in order to try to transcend reality to imagine new futures. He is often perceived as
nihilistic and an idealistic doomer, but he is noted for being overemphasized in his depression and less known in his optimism.

Friends
Marxism - Dad, our futures have been stolen; the material conditions influence postcapitalist desire, but postcapitalist desire wishes beyond the material conditions...
Anarcho-Nihilism - Nothing really matters, however you just create a self-fulfilling prophesy... We can imagine new futures together!
Post-Anarchism - It's just a burning memory...
Soulism - Jesus, man, I may be on acid, but this guy is on a whole other level.
CyberFeminism - We created great memories together in the 80's... it's a shame that's all we have left now, memories...
Existentialist Anarchism - You too have broken the power structure that held you together... even if we the futures we imagine are different, we share the same desire to dream them.
