'''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 [[File:Poststruct.png]]{{PCBA|Postmodernism|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 The unfinished introduction can be read in ''K-Punk: The Collected and Unpublished Writings of Mark Fisher (2004-2016).''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==
===[[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]]{{PCBA|Postmodernism|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 [[File:Cap.png]][[Capitalism]] by buying merchandise of those such as [[File:Guevara.png]][[Guevarism|Guevara]] or other cold war revolutionaries. Small scale rebellion is to [[File:Cap.png]][[Capitalism|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 [[File:Cap.png]][[Capitalism]]. It seems as though after the death of an existing system in opposition to [[File:Cap.png]][[Capitalism]] in the [[File:Cball-USSR.png]][[Marxism-Leninism|Soviet Union]] we are unable to imagine anything diffrent. 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 [[File:Cap.png]][[Capitalism]].

===[[File:Poststruct.png]]Hauntology And Lost Futures[[File:DepressionMale.png]]===
In ''Ghosts Of My Life'' Fisher continues the logic of [[File:Poststruct.png]]{{PCBA|Postmodernism|Derrida}}, arguing that from 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]]; Fisher argues that the current present is haunted by that lost future. 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 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.

==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 [[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]] [[Anarcho-Nihilism|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>

==How to Draw==
{{Flag|Acidcom_flag.svg}}
#Draw a ball.
#Draw a spiraling rainbow in the ball from the center (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, magenta, pink).
#Draw a dark red circle in the center of the ball and fill it in with red.
#Draw a sickle and bong in yellow inside that smaller ball.
# Draw two red eyes, and you're done!

==Relationships==

===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:Mao.png]] [[Maoism]] - No,No,don't give me hope..
*[[File:Annil.png]] [[Anarcho-Nihilism]] - Nothing really matters, however you just create a self-fulfilling prophecy... We can imagine new futures together!
*[[File:Post-an.png]] [[Post-Anarchism]] - It's just a burning memory...
*[[File:Meta-Anarchism.png]] [[Post-Anarchism|Deleuzianism]] - I agree completely! Acid is a great way to achieve a state of schizophrenia! Deterritorialize!
*[[File:Soul.png]] [[Soulism]] - Jesus, man, I may be on acid, but this guy is on a whole other level.
*[[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:Existentialist Anarchism.png]] [[Existentialist Anarchism]] - You too have broken the power structure that held you together... even if the futures we imagine are different, we share the same desire to dream them.

===Frenemies===

*[[File:Ancapf.png]] [[Anarcho-Capitalism]] - He sells me my narcotics, but he's just another form of capitalism!
*[[File:Kak.png]] [[Kakistocracy]] - What is Twitter if not a libidinal economy?
*[[File:Marxlen.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:Orthlen.png]] [[Leninism]] - [[w:Lenin was a mushroom|You allegedly consumed loads of magic mushrooms and became a mushroom]], but I am not sure. At least you are a communist like me.
* [[File:Accel.png]] [[Accelerationism]] - Contradictions never killed anyone, Marx... And [[File:Landian Accelerationism.png]] Land, we had fun didn't we?

*[[File:Utsoc.png]] [[Utopian Socialism]] - You have good intentions, but if you refuse to break away from your naive bubble and see the reality around you, you will be stuck in a mere delusion. You need to accept there is no hope for the end of capitalism in the future... in order to imagine that hope yourself.

===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:Nazi.png]] [[National Socialism]] - 20th of April is weed day, not Hitler’s birthday.
