Acid Communism
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 The unfinished introduction can be read in K-Punk: The Collected and Unpublished Writings of Mark Fisher (2004-2016).
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.
