Lillian Cicerchia, co-host of What's Left of Philosophy wrote an essay "Why Does Class Matter" which was the first article about class (specifically) in academic philosophy in several decades. We discuss her theories on class with a focus on the theme of "non-domination" in the labor market.

Members and friends of Acid Horizon meet with Stuart Kendall to discuss the work of 20th century writer Georges Bataille. Bataille is a unique figure in French thought whose work spans various milieus from literature to politics. As an opponent of fascism, liberalism, and the real-existing communism of his day, he and his associates endeavored to found a new politics which drew together disparate threads from French anthropology, mythological studies, and the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. The discussion with Kendall centers upon Bataille’s use of Nietzsche as a primary theoretical mediator. Kendall also details Bataille’s relationship with Albert Camus and ventures some possible applications of Bataille’s thought amidst current political crises.

Beyond reflexive impotence and mental anguish, how do we find each other as comrades and begin the process of collective healing that rekindles the revolutionary spirit? This is the question Gareth Watkins invites us to consider, as Adam, Will, and Corey discuss his article "What Happened to the Communal Revolutionary Spirit?", focusing on the politics of friendship, misery, and collectivity through the work of The Invisible Committee and their 2007 manifesto. We discuss their work as advocating a sincere, intense, and anarchic form of communizing practice, through their theory of the communal, and the immediate possibilities of forming new kinds of affinities and friendships that revolutionize our relationship to the world rather than serving to reproduce it. All power to the communes!

On this episode, Will and Adam from Acid Horizon speak with Thomas Nail about his book “Marx in Motion: A New Materialist Marxism”. They discuss the origins of Marx’s theory of matter based on his doctoral dissertation on Epicurean philosophy, his critique of rigid atomism, and his dynamic theory of matter in motion that reveals its innate capacity for transformation. Thomas explains the centrality of the notion of movement to notions of labor and valuation in the first volume of Marx’s Capital, as well as his innovative claim that Marx’s theory of value was not one based on labor, but one based on seeing value as a delusion of seeing the products of productive motions as commodities whose qualities were entirely disconnected from those processes—a delusion grounded in the very origins of value itself in primitive accumulation, dispossession, appropriation, and enslavement under Racial Capitalism. Thomas’ work challenges the various revolutions in Marxist interpretation since Engels and boldly asks how we can transform a Marxism based on movement, to a movement based on Marxism.
Daniel Tutt sits down with the prolific writer and thinker Richard Seymour, Co-Founder of Salvage Magazine and author of The Meaning of David Cameron (2010), Unhitched (2013), Against Austerity (2014) and Corbyn: The Strange Rebirth of Radical Politics (2016).
Since 2016, Seymour has turned to Lacanian theory in his writing and analysis of contemporary politics. We discuss what he finds valuable in psychoanalytic theory, the recent fractures over the trans movement in the Lacanian field, the patriarchy question, Oedipal politics, family abolition, meritocracy and Richard's next book project The Little Red Self-Help Book. We conclude with a discussion on the future of the far right.

In this episode of Zer0 Books Archives, Craig of Acid Horizon is joined by Adam Kotsko to discuss his oeuvre on uncomfortable feelings both as they are felt and operationalized under neoliberal hegemony. Adam's most recent work on the subject can be found in his book 'Creepiness' (Zer0 books, 2015), but the discussion traverses both a broad and nuanced phenomenology elaborated throughout his other works.

Landon Frim and Harrison Fluss are joined by interviewer Daniel Tutt to discuss how philosophers are thinking the ecological crisis. Fluss and Frim argue the two dominant strains of thinking ecology today, Accelerationism and Gaian philosophies are ultimately inadequate frameworks because they reject the human frame as grounding politics; each seeks to subordinate the human in favor of a wholly alien other, either in the form of an anarchic nature or a dynamic technology. To transcend this strange coincidence of opposites, Fluss and Frim make the positive case for a Marxist humanism that is rationalist without being anthropocentric. This conversation is centered around their new book Prometheus and Gaia: Technology, Ecology and Anti-Humanism.

On this episode of Convergences Adam from Acid Horizon is joined by Palestine Action activist and researcher Kieron Turner to discuss the work of Cedric Robinson and his landmark 1983 work Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition. We’re going to be covering Robinson’s life and work, his dialectical analysis of the historical and ideological phenomenon of Racial Capitalism, his critique of Marxist Historiography, and the life and history of the Black Radical Tradition. Also discussed is Robinson’s critique of the Eurocentric biases of certain Western Radicalisms, the critique of nationalist ideology, and his exposition of the Black Radical Tradition as the articulation of consciousness as a material force. That is, an emancipatory force of analysis, consciousness, and culture, as generated through the world historical experience and resistance of African peoples. Finally, we discuss the work of Palestine Action, which includes their ongoing campaign against the arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, which recently resulted in a weapons factory being shut down in Oldham, England. Kieron explains how Cedric Robinson’s thought has impacted his own work in theory and praxis, and how Robinson’s thought helps to orientate theory towards mass movements.

This week, we continue our exploration of the work of Mark Fisher with an extensive interview with his friend and collaborator Robin Mackay.
Last week, we dipped our collective toe into the blogosphere of the mid-2000s, discussing hyperstition, 70s pulp sci-fi and some of Fisher's most enduring weird and eerie interests. Lurking in the background was Fisher's role as a member of the Ccru, and who better to discuss this period of activity with than Robin Mackay.
Mackay is a philosopher, translator and director of the hugely influential publishing house https://urbanomic.com. He also posts his own writings over at http://readthis.wtf. He has, since Fisher's death in 2017, reignited interest in the work of the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (Ccru) through the publication of their collected writings: https://urbanomic.com/book/ccru-writings-1997-2003/….
Together, we talk about the Ccru, Robin's own work and interests, and also his more recent return to his collaborations with Fisher in the form of a newly haunted audio-work, "By The North Sea": https://4kpunk.wordpress.com/january-2022/

On this episode of the Zer0 Books Archive, Will interviews Grafton Tanner about his 2016 book Babbling Corpse: Vaporwave and the Commodification of Ghosts. Grafton works at the University of Georgia, in the Department of Communication Studies, and has written two more recent books, apt for our contemporary moment: The Circle of the Snake: Nostalgia and Utopia in the Age of Big Tech, published with Zer0 in 2020, and most recently The Hours Have Lost Their Clock: The Politics of Nostalgia, published in October 2021 with Repeater Books.
It is now over 10 years since the release of perhaps the most important work of the vaporwave genre, Macintosh Plus’s Floral Shoppe, whose influence on digital aesthetics, both sonic and visual, is today undeniable. This discussion is an attempt at reawakening of the theoretical and practical implications of Babbling Corpse, touching on concepts of the non-human, nostalgia, hauntology, and making reference to the work of Derrida, Fisher, Meillasoux, Eshun, Haraway and Deleuze. Towards the end, we try to think about what nostalgia could do for the left today.

Last year, Buddies Without Organs explored the works of Gilles Deleuze. Now, in association with Zer0 Books, we are turning towards the lesser-known works of Mark Fisher.
Fisher is a writer we all already love, and we felt he'd be great to read together. We're starting as we intend to go on with a oft-neglected post from the Hyperstition blog about the 1970s children's serial, Children of the Stones -- a series that Fisher suggests is an example of an underrepresented British sci-fi genre: "megalithic astropunk".

On this episode of Zer0 Books Archives, Will and Craig of Acid Horizon are joined by Stephen Shapiro and Philip Barnard to discuss their translation of Guery’s and Deluele’s The Productive Body. The Productive Body was a remarkably influential text that was foundational to Foucault’s treatment of the body in works such as Discipline and Punish. Yet, it remained relatively unknown in the anglophone world. This book attempts to unpack Marx’s conception of the division of labor, large-scale industry, and cooperation with the goal showing how capitalist production breaks down the body and reformulates it, producing something new and essential – the productive body.

Today, Adam from Acid Horizon welcomes Jacob Blumenfeld into the Zer0 Books Archives to discuss his 2018 Zer0 Books text All Things Are Nothing To Me: The Unique Philosophy of Max Stirner. Adam and Jacob discuss the context and legacy of this often-forgotten thinker of the left and a key influence on Marx and Engels in their development of dialectical materialism. They discuss Stirner’s critique of identity, his notion of ‘egoism’, his ideas around self-ownership as a critique of ideology, his critique of Utopian Socialism, and dive into Jacob’s thesis of a Stirnerian egoism as ‘Marx’s Communism from the First-Person Perspective’. This is an essential book for those interested in the Young Hegelian origins of Marx and Engels, and a communist theory that takes the fulfilment of the needs of the social and personal individual at its heart, at the same time as it encourages the creative development of the powers of all to enjoy themselves as an insurgent force of creativity; beyond debt, state, God, morality, and capital.
