Acid Communism: Difference between revisions

In ''Ghosts Of My Life'' Fisher continues the logic of [[File:Poststruct.png]] {{PCBA|Postmodernism|Derrida}}, arguing that from [[File:CapRealism.png]] capitalist realism, futures that where to be have been canceled. Take the end of [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|Dialectical Materialism]], that being the stateless, classless, utopia of [[File:Commie.png]] [[Communism {Disambiguation)|Communism]]; Fisher argues that the current present is haunted by that lost future. [[File:CapRealism.png]] Capitalist realism has effectively "canceled" this future. Fisher agrees with [[File:Poststruct.png]] {{PCBA|Postmodernism|Derrida}} that there is a spectre of these lost futures haunting us in everyday life. In the predicament of [[File:CapRealism.png]] capitalist realism we may be unable to imagine a future beyond [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]] yet we are haunted by these futures to be. Fisher argues that these spectres of ideas are the main reason for the current spike in depression, as [[File:Freud.png]] {{PCBA|Freudianism|Psychoanalysis}} can only handle things on an individual level, never considering large systemic problems that could lead to anguish. In the end Fisher feels as though we are trapped, and that the future is canceled.
