Eddie speaks to Johny Pitts, photographer and author of Afropean: Notes from Black Europe. They dive into the Afropean diasporic experience as captured through the medium of the image, the growing exclusion of the working class from contemporary arts and media, and the technological heyday of photography in Japan from Johny and Eddie's experiences of working with the iconic Konica film.

Eddie discusses the work of legendary photographer Eve Arnold, who produced era-defining photographs of political and cultural icons such as Malcolm X, Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, and James Brown. To do so, Eddie is joined by printer of Eve's work, Danny Pope, and her grandson and curator Michael Arnold. The trio discuss the impact she had on the artistic direction of their craft, what it means to create icons photographically, and the changing nature of the art today.

A walk through the remnants of a social democratic America, and an argument about its future.
In the 1960s, a novel ideology about cities, and what was best for them, emerged in New York. Pushing against the state planning of the time, it held that cities were at their best when they were driven from the bottom-up and when organic, unplanned processes were allowed to run their course, in a spontaneous “ballet of the street”. Cities were at their worst, however, when the state stepped in, demolishing lively old neighbourhoods and erecting giant, sterile, empty “projects”. This book uses the method of this ideology — walking — to test how true it actually is about the “capital of the twentieth century”, New York City, with a brief interlude in the capital, Washington DC.
The “projects” that are walked in this book range from cultural complexes in Manhattan to New Deal-era public housing developments in Brooklyn, Harlem and Queens, from the social experiment of Roosevelt Island to Communist housing co-operatives in the Bronx, from the union-driven rebuilding of the Lower East Side to DC’s magnificent Metro. For all their many flaws, they prove that Americans could, in fact, plan and build fragments of a better society, which survive and sometimes thrive today in one of the unequal places on earth. Walking the Streets/Walking the Projects takes a hard look at these enclaves, and asks what a new generation of American socialists might be able to learn from them.

Adam from Acid Horizon joins Phil Burton-Cartledge to discus 'The Party's Over: The Rise and Fall of the Conservatives from Thatcher to Sunak' out on Verso Books.

The Fall of the Tory Party - from Thatcher to Sunak
Today, it is not a question of if, but when? What we are watching is the collapse of the most successful political party in Europe. Despite winning the December 2019 General Election, the parliamentary conservative and unionist party is facing its own demise. It no longer speaks for, or to, the British people. Its leadership has sacrificed the long-standing commitment to the Union to 'Get Brexit Done'. And beyond this, it is an intellectual vacuum, propped up by half-baked doctrine and magical thinking.
Burton-Cartlege's account starts with the Thatcher era, and show that swiftly the party struggled to find a popular vision for the United Kingdom. He charts the flaws an failings of each successive leader, all the way to Sunak. He also examines the state of the membership and shows that they have become increasingly old. Their values have not been adopted by the younger voters, who are unable to share the benefits. Furthermore, the coalition between the countryside and the City interests is under pressure, and the latter is split by Brexit.

Buy the book: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/mixing-pop-and-politics-a-marxist-history-of-popular-music/
A radical history of the political and social upheavals of the last 70 years, told through the period’s most popular music.
Mixing Pop and Politics is not a history of political music, but a political history of popular music. Spanning the early 50s to the present, it shows how, from doo-wop to hip-hop, punk to crunk and grunge to grime, music has both reflected and resisted the political events of its era.
Mixing Pop and Politics explores the connections between popular music and political ideology, whether that’s the liberation of rock’n’roll or the containment of girl groups, the refusal of glam or the resignation of soft rock, the solidarity of disco or the individualism of 80s pop.
At a time when reactionary forces are waging political war in the realm of culture, and we’re being told to keep politics out of music, Mixing Pop and Politics is a timely, original and joyful exploration of popular music’s role in our society.

From the acclaimed author of Promised You a Miracle and When the Lights Went Out, the untold story of British politics in modern times, through the triumphs and disasters of its five most radical figures
'A breath of fresh air: a vivid eye for detail meets narrative pacing that seems effortless.' Morgan Jones, LabourList
‘An absorbing history of Labour’s radical left.’ Jason Cowley, Observer
‘The Searchers should be studied closely by anyone with a stake in British politics.’ Patrick Maguire, The Times
In the great revolutionary year of 1968, Tony Benn was a respectable Labour minister in his forties, and he was restless. While new social movements were shaking up Britain and much of the world, Westminster politics seemed stuck. It was time, he decided, for a different approach.
Over the next half century, the radicalized Benn helped forge a new left in Britain. He was joined by four other politicians, who would become comrades, collaborators and rivals: Ken Livingstone, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn.
For Andy Beckett, the story of these admired and loathed political explorers - both their sudden breakthroughs and long stretches in the wilderness - is the untold story of British politics in modern times. As he reveals, their project to create a radically more equal, liberal and democratic Britain has been much more influential than electoral history might suggest, and can be seen from the shape of our city life to the causes of our culture wars.
For their many detractors, this influence was and remains dangerous: a form of extremism that must be stamped out. But as these five searchers believed, in politics there is no total victory - nor total defeat.

The book: https://agitpress.net/books/p/a-thousand-little-machines
Digitised copies of A/traverso: https://archive.leftove.rs/documents/grid/title/A/traverso
In 1977 youth revolts spectacular in their intensity, creativity and violence would send shockwaves throughout Italian society. These rebellions, belonging to the autonomia movement, were characterised by a mass refusal of wage-labour and powered by novel experiments in communication, in particular the printed word. Hundreds of revolutionary newspapers known as ‘movement sheets’ would circulate Italy during those years, acting as little machines to produce political subjectivity. This book contains the recollections of the autonomist militant, philosopher and media theorist Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi on autonomia and the tumultuous events of ’77, told through the pages of A/traverso, the Bolognese movement sheet he produced with others between 1975 - 1981. In texts translated into English for the first time, presented alongside extensive archival material and stunning photographs, this book explores the subversion, exuberance and joy of the movement of ’77, while raising important questions about the role of creative collectivity and experimental communication for militants today.

Federico's 'The Last Night' on Zer0 Books: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/zer0-books/our-books/last-night
Technic and Magic: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/technic-and-magic-9781350044036/
We take for granted that only certain kind of things exist – electrons but not angels, passports but not nymphs. This is what we understand as 'reality'. But in fact, 'reality' varies with each era of the world, in turn shaping the field of what is possible to do, think and imagine. Our contemporary age has embraced a troubling and painful form of reality: Technic.
Under Technic, the foundations of reality begin to crumble, shrinking the field of the possible and freezing our lives in an anguished state of paralysis. Technic and Magic shows that the way out of the present deadlock lies much deeper than debates on politics or economics. By drawing from an array of Northern and Southern sources – spanning from Heidegger, Junger and Stirner's philosophies, through Pessoa's poetry, to Advaita Vedanta, Bhartrhari, Ibn Arabi, Suhrawardi and Mulla Sadra's theosophies – Magic is presented as an alternative system of reality to Technic. While Technic attempts to capture the world through an 'absolute language', Magic centres its reconstruction of the world around the notion of the 'ineffable' that lies at the heart of existence.
Technic and Magic is an original philosophical work, and a timely cultural intervention. It disturbs our understanding of the structure of reality, while restoring it in a new form. This is possibly the most radical act: if we wish to change our world, first we have to change the idea of 'reality' that defines it.

Pre-Order Here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/761928/quit-everything-by-franco-berardi/
In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this "depression" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as "desertion". A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain.
Berardi analyses why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.

The utopian project lies in ruins, but perhaps in our present moment, there are elements from the history of thought that can provide fresh resources for utopianism. In this groundbreaking introduction, Jon Greenaway explores the work of German philosopher Ernst Bloch, whose complex and challenging philosophy is a primer for a philosophical renewal of the struggle for a better world.

Grab the Book: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/zer0-books/our-books/combined-and-uneven-apocalypse
From the repurposed rubble of salvagepunk to undead hordes banging on shopping mall doors, from empty waste zones to teeming plagued cities, Combined and Uneven Apocalypse grapples with the apocalyptic fantasies of our collapsing era. Moving through the films, political tendencies, and recurrent crises of late capitalism, Evan Calder Williams paints a black toned portrait of the dream and nightmare images of a global order gone very, very wrong. Situating itself in the defaulting financial markets of the present, Combined and Uneven Apocalypse glances back toward a messy history of zombies, car wrecks, tidal waves, extinction, trash heaps, labour, pandemics, wolves, cannibalism, and general nastiness that populate the underside of our cultural imagination. Every age may dream the end of the world to follow, but these scattered nightmare figures are a skewed refraction of the normal hell of capitalism. The apocalypse isn't something that will happen one day: it's just the slow unveiling of the catastrophe we've been living through for centuries. Against any fantasies of progress, return, or reconciliation, Williams launches a loathing critique of the bleak present and offers a graveside smile for our necessary battles to come.

Our secular society seems to have finally found its new God: Work. As technological progress makes human labour superfluous, and over-production destroys both the economy and the planet, Work remains stronger than ever as a mantra of universal submission. This book develops a fully-fledged theory of radical atheism, advocating a disrespectful, opportunist squandering of obedience. By replacing hope and faith with adventure, The Last Night of our lives might finally become the first morning of an autonomous future.

Alongside scientific knowledge and collective effort, building a degrowth ecological society will require a different set of stories and myths than the big and fast Promethean fables we’re accustomed to. Using Boorman’s Zardoz as a tool, Against The Vortex unearths the artistic and intellectual output of a decelerationist 1970s, with an eye toward imagining a very different sort of future.

Many leftists today know the name of the Italian anarchist Errico Malatesta, but few know much about him. In this conversation, one of the foremost scholars on his life and ideas, Davide Turcato, discusses Malatesta’s activities during his long London exile from 1900-1913, his revolutionary theory of the armed strike, and his complicated relation to the Marxism of the second international.

An historical novel set Wales before the Industrial Revolution, as human love tries to flower amidst squalor and serfdom.
Wales, a mining village, pre-industrial revolution. A world of serfdom and squalor, its inhabitants oppressed by both Chapel conformist impulses and the predations of a new kind of capitalism being born.
Sion, a metalworker, strikes up an illicit relationship with Katherine, the wife of the mineowner’s personal dogsbody. And so begins the struggle of non-transactional and non-exploitative human love to be recognised in a place bent on the destruction and negation of that very thing.
A mix of political anger, historical excavation, Celtic mysticism, praise of the human impulse to love and rage at avarice and exploitation, Of Talons and Teeth seeks to explore that moment when human beings and the natural beauties around them were turned into mere chattels; when Mammon became the only god worth worshipping.

''Exemplary… Tutt’s evaluation of the consequences of Nietzschean politics is more lucid than Left Nietzscheans might wish.'' — Ray Brassier, author of Nihil Unbound: Enlightenment and Extinction How to Read Like a Parasite overturns the whitewashed and defanged version of Nietzsche that has been made popular by generations of translators and academic philosophers who have presented his work as apolitical and without a core reactionary agenda.
The central argument of the book is that Nietzsche’s philosophy does have a center, and that the left learns a great deal from Nietzsche when we read him as driven by a highly sophisticated reactionary political vision that informs all his major concepts and ideas.
The most important Nietzschean concepts — from perspectivism, ressentiment, eternal return to the pathos of distance — are analyzed in the historical context in which Nietzsche lived and wrote, and several case-studies of prominent left-Nietzscheans from Jack London, Gilles Deleuze, Wendy Brown to Huey Newton are discussed.
How to Read Like a Parasite makes a persuasive case for how we can overcome Nietzsche’s damaging influence on the left, showing us how to read and understand his work without becoming victims of it.

Acid Horizon is joined by Dan Lowe, a London-based therapist and counselor trained in Reichian therapy to discuss the work of Wilhelm Reich. In focus is Reich's concept of emotional armoring, the scientific basis of Reich's work, and legacy of 'functional orgonomics'. Various references in the episode are linked below:

Anti-Oculus: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/anti-oculus-a-philosophy-of-escape/
We celebrate the launch of We Hear Only Ourselves. Utopia, Memory, and Resistance by Bill Cashmore and Anti-Oculus: A Philosophy of Escape by Acid Horizon.
We Hear Only Ourselves is a study of utopia and its contradictions. If a future beyond capitalism cannot be imagined, what is the place of utopia today? The answer, Cashmore argues, lies beyond either idle speculation or merely hopeful optimism. We Hear Only Ourselves seeks a concept of utopia which is strengthened, not undermined, by its contradictions. From the dialectics of the Frankfurt School to the energetics of resistance in the writings of the Black Panthers, this book draws on a wide range of thought to offer a new concept of utopia, one adequate for our present moment.

Buy the book: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/filling-the-void-emotion-capitalism-and-social-media/
It argues that social media use is often a psychological response to the need for pleasure and comfort that results from the stresses of life under postmodern capitalism, rather than being a driver of new behaviours as newer technologies are often said to be. Both the explosive growth of social media and the corresponding reconfiguration of the web from an information-based platform into an entertainment-based one are far more easily explained in terms of the subjective psychological experience of their users as capitalist subjects seeking ‘depressive hedonia’ the book argues.
Filling the Void also interrogates the role of social media networks, designed for private commercial gain, as part of a de-facto public sphere. Both the decreasing subjective importance of factual media and the ways in which the content of the timeline are quietly manipulated – often using labour in the developing world and secret algorithms – have potentially serious implications for the capacity of social media users to query or challenge the seeming reality offered by the established hegemonic order.

Buy ' Return of a Native': https://repeaterbooks.com/product/return-of-a-native-learning-from-the-land/
The English countryside is often seen as timeless, remote and shielded from the harshest problems of modern life. Yet, as Return of a Native reveals, it is to rural England that we must look for the roots of our current crises.
Beginning and ending at a crossroads in north west Hampshire, with feet planted firmly on the soil, Vron Ware brings her experience of writing about racism, colonial history, war and feminism to show us how to look at the land in a new light. With one eye on the parish and another on the distant horizon, she leaves no stone unturned in this quest to understand how we humans arrived at this place.
From Bronze Age ruins to the fall-out from Brexit, Return of a Native is an ecological reckoning with England’s future as well as its deep history.

Is "revolution from below" an antidote to the missteps of real-existing socialisms from the past? Can council communism help us orchestrate an escape from capitalism? Do the workers need leaders or intellectuals to foster class consciousness? This video provides a thumbnail sketch of the work and ideas of Anton Pannekoek.
Inspiration for this video comes from 'The Workers’ Way to Freedom and Other Council Communist Writings' by Anton Pannekoek and Edited by Robyn K. Winters: https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1503

Alice's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AliceCappelle
We’re doomed. We hear this phrase more and more frequently. Collapse has become the framework through which we write, debate, theorise, and therefore make society.
In such times of crisis, women are more likely to see their rights attacked, their sexuality scrutinised. On social media, it is claimed that women are responsible for the downfall of Western society. To make matters worse, this anti-feminist discourse has merged with internet culture and is being pushed by the algorithm into users’ social media feeds.
Covering everything from the reactionary politics of the “manosphere” to sexual liberation, hookup culture, traditional femininity, the girlboss, and self-help content, Collapse Feminism looks at how this conservative backlash is being orchestrated online and why we must fight against it. Reversing our contemporary catastrophism, Alice Cappelle asks readers to join her and others in building a future that will liberate us all.

Buy the book: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/blockchain-radicals-how-capitalism-ruined-crypto-and-how-to-fix-it/
Over the last decade, blockchains and crypto have opened up a new terrain for political action. It is not surprising, however, that the crypto space has also become overrun by unscrupulous marketing, theft and scams. The problem is real, but it isn’t a new one. Capitalism has ruined crypto, but that shouldn’t be the end of it.
Blockchain Radicals shows us how this has happened, and how to fix crypto in a way that is understandable for those who have never owned a cryptocurrency as well as those who are building their own decentralised applications. Covering everything from how Bitcoin saved WikiLeaks to decentralised finance, worker cooperatives, the environmental impact of
Bitcoin and NFTs, and the crypto commons, it shows how these new tools can be used to challenge capitalism and build a better world for all of us.
While crypto is often thought of as being synonymous with unbridled capitalism, Blockchain Radicals shows instead how the technology can and has been used for more radical purposes, beyond individual profit and towards collective autonomy.

Socialism has always had internationalist ambitions, but what those ambitions should be and how to rethink them in the 21st century remain open questions. Before his tragic passing in 2020, Michael Brooks talked about a new kind of cosmopolitan socialism that would be appropriate for our time. A How To Guide To Cosmopolitan Socialism builds upon Brooks' vision to argue that we need a left which knows no boundaries and recognizes the fundamental moral equality of all individuals on the planet while securing the material conditions for their flourishing. Only such a sweeping vision can successfully combat the forces of reaction and violence confronting us today.

To commemorate the 87th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, we are joined by historian Evan Smith to discuss his history of No Platform, a tactic central to the history of British antifascism, the history of the Marxist Left in the UK, and the ongoing debates round media and the limits of free speech today. We discuss the origins of No Platforming as one of a plurality of antifascist tactics, we dispel the mythologies around critiques of the tactic taken up by elements of the British Media, and we confront the history of contrarian free speech absolutism on the Left: the story of the Revolutionary Communist Party and its reactionary reinvention as the Spiked/LM Network.

Should we shrink the law? One of Britain’s leading social justice barristers puts the case against the constant expansion of the law into new areas, and its greater control over more and more of our lives.
Since 2016, Britain has been ruled by populists, who have promised to expand democracy and decrease the law by taking back power from abroad. Yet what these populists have actually done is institute a vast increase in new laws, made by ministers and not Parliament, regulating every aspect of our lives.
Against this backdrop of ever-increasing laws and regulations, Renton argues that instead of seeking change within the bounds of the law, social movements should rather look to their own ability to force change, their willingness to protest, occupy and strike.
Against the Law dares us to imagine a world in which workers are winning, and ecocide is treated with the urgency that it deserves. But as this book argues, this world can only become a reality if the movements of the oppressed choose to disengage from the law.

At Zer0 Books, we're inaugurating the spooky season with a slasher special courtesy of screenwriter and curator Maria Lewis and her latest novel 'The Graveyard Shift'. We get into the history of the slasher genre, deconstructing the horror of the knife-wielding killer from Jack the Ripper to Jason Voorhees. We interrogate the central trope of the 'final girl' and how to subvert it in a new, richer experience of the art form of fear.
Maria Lewis is @moviemazzz on Twitter

We Hear Only Ourselves is a study of utopia and its contradictions. If a future beyond capitalism cannot be imagined, what is the place of utopia today? The answer, Cashmore argues, lies beyond either idle speculation or merely hopeful optimism. We Hear Only Ourselves seeks a concept of utopia which is strengthened, not undermined, by its contradictions. From the dialectics of the Frankfurt School to the energetics of resistance in the writings of the Black Panthers, this book draws on a wide range of thought to offer a new concept of utopia, one adequate for our present moment.

Buy the book: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/narcissus-in-bloom/
Narcissism is the defining pathology of the twenty-first century, but what if it is not self-obsession that defines us but a need for self-transformation?
Narcissus in Bloom is a short history of the self-portrait, beginning with Renaissance painters like Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt and Caravaggio, through to photographers and celebrities like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, Lee Friedlander and Hervé Guibert.
Analysing the ways that so many artists have regarded their own image, how might the age of the selfie be considered as a time of transformation rather than stasis? By returning to the original tale of Narcissus, and the flower from which he takes his name, this book offers an alternative reading of narcissism from within the midst of a moralising subgenre of books that argue our self-obsession will be the death of us. That may be so. But what will we become after we have taken the watery track, and rid ourselves of the cloistered self-image given to us by late capitalism?

Coming to Verso Books February 2024: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/741197/the-double-shift-by-jason-read/
ABOUT THE DOUBLE SHIFT
“Why do people fight for their exploitation as if it was liberation?” How Marx and Spinoza can explain our attachment to work, and what we can do about it
In a world of declining wages, working conditions, and instability, the response for many has been to work harder, increasing hours and finding various ways to hustle in a gig economy. What drives our attachment to work? To paraphrase a question from Spinoza, “Why do people fight for their exploitation as if it was liberation?”
The Double Shift turns towards the intersection of Marx and Spinoza in order to examine the nature of our affective, ideological, and strategic attachment to work. Through an examination of contemporary capitalism and popular culture it argues that the current moment can be defined as one of “negative solidarity.”
The hardship and difficulty of work is seen not as the basis for alienation and calls for its transformation but rather an identification with the difficulties and hardships of work. This distortion of the work ethic leads to a celebration of capitalists as job creators and suspicion towards anyone who is not seen as a “real worker.”
The book is grounded in philosophy, specifically Marx and Spinoza, and is in dialogue with Plato, Smith, Hegel, and Arendt, but, at the same time, in examining contemporary ideologies and ideas about work it discusses motivational meetings at Apple Stores, the culture of Silicon Valley, and films and television from Office Space to Better Call Saul.
The Double Shift argues for a transformation of our collective imagination and attachment to work.

On the 45th anniversary of its initial publication in Swedish, Sven Lindqvist’s polemic on history, politics and power is finally available in English for the first time.
This volume brings Dig Where You Stand, Sven Lindqvist’s classic text on history, power and politics, to English-speaking audiences for the first time.
First published in 1978, Dig Where You Stand is a rallying cry for workers to become researchers, to follow the money, take on the role as experts on their job, and “dig” out its hidden histories in order to take a vital step towards social and economic transformation.
A how-to guide that inspired an entire movement, it makes the case that everyone – not just academics – can learn how to critically and rigorously explore history, especially their own history, and in doing so find a blueprint for how to transform society for the better.
In a world where the balance of power is overwhelmingly stacked against the working-class, Dig Where You Stand‘s manifesto for the empowerment of workers through self-education, historical research and political solidarity is as important and relevant today as it was in 1978.

Blue Light of the Screen is about what it means to be afraid — about immersion, superstition, delusion, and the things that keep us up at night.
A creative-critical memoir of the author’s obsession with the horror genre, Blue Light of the Screen embeds its criticism of horror within a larger personal story of growing up in a devoutly Catholic family, overcoming suicidal depression, uncovering intergenerational trauma, and encountering real and imagined ghosts.
As Cronin writes, she positions herself as a protagonist who is haunted by what she watches and reads, like an antiquarian in an M.R. James ghost story whose sense of reality unravels through her study of arcane texts and cursed archives. In this way, Blue Light of the Screen tells the story of the author’s conversion from skepticism to faith in the supernatural.
Part memoir, part ghost story, and part critical theory, Blue Light of the Screen is not just a book about horror, but a work of horror itself.

Our world is increasingly sceptical of happy endings. Notions of resistance or alternatives - of hope - seem evermore ill-fated as we resign to a slow and painful descent further into capitalism. However, from a critical position, one that does not shy away from the scale of the horror facing us, we can begin to rethink utopianism, and plot new and speculative pathways for collective escape. Through quiet acts of naysaying to the world, of nihilistic or self-destructive events, or in wider-ranging renegotiations of what’s acceptable and possible at the limits of reason, pessimism revives the possibility for radical change. It calls for a disentanglement from the world and, in so doing, offers a glimpse at the utopian impossible.
Against the pernicious machinations of modern-day capitalism and a perverse optimism that sustains it, Disconsolate Dreamers explores the extent to which pessimism is compatible with a radical utopian goal - namely, a collective escape from the misery of modern existence. It shows that, in a thoroughly hopeless world devoid of rational alternatives, it is time for the Left to consider the pessimist a helpful guide out of the somnolence of capitalist realism, revealing how pessimism necessitates a radical revision of utopian alterity.

The Acid Horizon crew are once again joined by Bataille scholar and translator Stuart Kendall to discuss his writings on General Economy, Waste, and Sustainability in the era of climate crisis. How is our ecologically destructive mode of production complimented by a capitalist mode of consumption? Is luxury antithetical to sustainable society? And how do we make more of waste in a world where the dominant tendencies of production aim at an infinite extraction of value? Join us as we investigate how the economic works of Georges Bataille can direct us away from planetary catastrophe, towards sustainable, even glorious, new modes of consumption. Featured in the discussion: Bataille, Kojève, Blanchot, Deleuze, Nancy, and Junger.

As a failing journalist cares for his alcoholic grandfather, remnants of the elderly man’s long-buried stories resurface and drive him to an obsessional search for truth.
“The land of men is an untouched one. It is the companionship of quiet. It is so many darkened boats, heading their own way, in the night.”
Leeds, 2017. Disaffected journalist Fred Whitby and his mother visit Grandad Norman following the death of his callous second wife, Brenda. Norman has relapsed into alcoholism. Brenda’s daughter and her husband have invaded the house.
Whilst writing a diary in attempt to revive his creativity, Fred finds himself cast adrift in his family history, trying frantically to piece together the fragmented memories, half-truths, secrets and mythologies that lie therein. Disappearances. Post-war protection rackets. An IRA bomb plot. Romantic rivalries. The kidnap of a traitorous miner.
As spectres of the past meet with the looming presence of a post-truth future, Fred must navigate the illogical and unprovable stories of his grandfather and come to terms with the absence of irrecoverable voices in his quest for whatever truth and meaning remains.

In 1963, the West Indian Marxist C.L.R. James posed the deceptively benign question: “What do they know of cricket, who only cricket know?”
A challenge to the public to re-consider cricket and its meaning, James was, all too subtly, attempting to counter the game’s elitist orthodoxy. Regrettably, he failed, and the history of cricket in England remains as it did a century ago — until now.
In examining recreational rather than professional (first-class) cricket, Different Class does not merely challenge the orthodoxy of English cricket, it demonstrates how the values and belief systems at its heart were developed in order to divide the English at every level of the game.
Indeed, be it the discrete cricket cultures of the “urban” North and the “rural” South of England, gender, social class or race; the history of recreational cricket tells us more about the (un)changing nature of English society — and how it works — than any study of the first-class game ever could.

Bernard Harcourt sits down with Acid Horizon to discuss "coöperism", a theory of cooperation that encompasses various registers of social and socioeconomic interaction.
From the publisher:
"Liberal democracy is in crisis around the world, unable to address pressing problems such as climate change. There is, however, another path—cooperation democracy. From consumer co-ops to credit unions, worker cooperatives to insurance mutuals, nonprofits to mutual aid, countless examples prove that people working together can extend the ideals of participatory democracy and sustainability into every aspect of their lives. These forms of cooperation do not depend on electoral politics. Instead, they harness the longstanding practices and values of cooperatives: self-determination, democratic participation, equity, solidarity, and respect for the environment.
Bernard E. Harcourt develops a transformative theory and practice that builds on worldwide models of successful cooperation. He identifies the most promising forms of cooperative initiatives and then distills their lessons into an integrated framework: Coöperism. This is a political theory grounded on recognition of our interdependence. It is an economic theory that can ensure equitable distribution of wealth. Finally, it is a social theory that replaces the punishment paradigm with a cooperation paradigm.
A creative work of normative critical theory, Cooperation provides a positive vision for addressing our most urgent challenges today. Harcourt shows that by drawing on the core values of cooperation and the power of people working together, a new world of cooperation democracy is within our grasp."

Why we need a materialist spirituality for the secular left, and how to build one.
The left commonly rejects religion and spirituality as counter-revolutionary forces, citing Marx’s famous dictum that “religion is the opium of the people.” Yet forms of spirituality have motivated struggles throughout history, ranging from medieval peasant uprisings and colonial slave revolts, to South American liberation theology and the US civil rights movement. And in a world where religion is growing, and political movements are ridden with conflict, burnout, and failure, what can the left learn from religion?
Red Enlightenment argues not only for a deepened understanding of religious matters, but calls for the secular left to develop its own spiritual perspectives. It proposes a materialist spirituality built from socialist and scientific sources, finding points of contact with the global history of philosophy and religion.
From cybernetics to liberation theology, from ancient Indian and Chinese philosophy to Marxist dialectical materialism, from traditional religious practices to contemporary art, music, and film, Red Enlightenment sets out a plausible secular spirituality, a new socialist praxis, and a utopian vision.

I Could Be So Good For You tackles head-on the pernicious and implicitly racist fiction that London, most especially north London, has no “real” working class in comparison to a more “authentic” working class in a place called “the North”.
In doing so it offers a history and a portrait of north London’s working class from the 1950s to the 21st century, based on a wide and original range of sources including personal memoirs, autobiographies, collected oral histories and new interviews conducted by the author. The result is an important social history and a rich panorama of working-class life — its struggles, work, celebrations, events, triumphs, tragedies and the occasional nice little earner.
For good or ill, from the start of post-war affluence in the 1950s to the economic crash of 2008, north London’s working class had a life experience like almost no other part of the British working class, one not just of poverty, racism and exploitation, but also of bold new housing schemes in the heart of the city, of great opportunity and diversity and enjoyment. Its about time to tell that story.

Adam is joined by Dr James Fox to discuss the legacy of cybernetics and organizational theory, its Leftist critics, and the potential for a cybernetics of the commune, one which politicizes the dynamic systems of democracy at play in worker organizing. We discussed public attitudes to cyber-theory, the history of the field from Wiener to Bogdanov and Stafford Beer, and the use of machinic language from Deleuze to the CCRU.

Adam and Will are joined by Professor Steven Shaviro to discuss his work on the philosophy of science fiction, developing on themes from recent texts such as Extreme Fabulations and 2016's Discognition out on Repeater Books. We asked Steven about the various techniques that writers such as Frank Herbert, Adrian Tchaikovsky, and China Mieville to unearth possible futures in the present; and how they extrapolate from, speculate upon, and generate fables about dominant tendencies of our political and technological situation. We also touched upon philosophies of time and narrative such as Bergson, Deleuze, Whitehead, Foucault, Marshall McLuhan, and Darko Suvin.

Richard Gilman-Opalsky is a professor of politics at the University of Illinois Springfield. In this episode, he joins Kenny and Kyle to discuss his 2016 book ‘Specters of Revolt: On the Intellect of Insurrection and Philosophy from Below’, as well as his more recent project. Richard’s approach is guided by French theorists associated with the Situationist movement, and draws on the vast history of revolt, from the Third Servile War to the Zapatistas, seeking to explain the prospects for resistance to capitalism today. As well as this, Richard discusses the relation between Marxism and anarchism, the limitations of utopianism, and the manipulation of desire.

When children start going missing in a rural town, the investigation takes twists and turns into the strange world of privilege and the realm of the occult.
"I always wanted to be a writer, but I became a policeman instead."
WESSEX, 2016. Teenagers are vanishing off the council estates of a small provincial city. A crop of herbs that are said to posses magical powers which only grow once every fifty years are found in the woods. A supernatural creature believed to be the guardian of the herbs is seen in nightmares. Rumours of orgiastic rituals on the estates of the rich and powerful excite the curious. And the Queen of England decides to celebrate her 90th birthday with a visit to the city’s famous cathedral spire.
Into this madness, two ambitious detectives, one with doomed literary ambitions, seek to solve the mystery, their only lead that “posh people are taking our children”.
Blending mysticism, class war, societal malfeasance and transcendence, High John The Conqueror identifies the point in our recent history when the ghosts of our past become the political monsters of the present.

Gigi Roggero’s latest book Italian Operaismo: History, Genealogy, Method promises to be the strongest introduction to its difficult subject matter available in the English language. Operaismo as a moment in the history of anticapitalist struggle is a source of great hope and enthusiasm among today’s militants, not only because of the academic success of its most famous proponents (such as Mario Tronti and Toni Negri), but because of its intransigent refusals, within and against labour, the state, and capitalism.
In this episode, Gigi discusses his new book with Kenny and the book’s translator, Clara Pope, focussing on the relation of Operaismo to anarchism, Bordigism, and other Marxist ‘heresies’, and the ‘third’ great figure of Operaismo: Romano Alquati.

For post-Jungian archetypal psychologist James Hillman, the concept of the ego familiar to the work of Freud, Jung, and other psychoanalytic thinkers maintains a almost tyrannical predominance in the tradition of psychoanalysis. The myth of Hercules looms large over the discipline and our lives writ large. For Hillman undue importance of the ego has precipitated a multitude of psychological, social, and political problems. The solution? A break with the ego's oppositionalism and a deep dive into the world of the imagination.

Here, Will and Adam from Acid Horizon engage in a discussion on a simultaneously well known and largely overlooked enigmatic figure in the history of German philosophy, idealism and its discontents, and even insurrectionary anarchism, Max Stirner. The discussion provides both an in-depth look at Stirner’s core philosophical commitments and the intellectual milieu within which and against which he toiled. What is at stake in Stirner’s The Unique and its Property? How are we to understand Stirner’s heterodoxical approach to anarchy? And, what can Stirner provide to us as we confront those apparatuses that seem to render us docile everyday?

A Nation of Shopkeepers explores the unstoppable rise of the petite-bourgeoisie, one of the most powerful, but underexplored, classes in modern society.
The petite-bourgeoisie — the insecure class between the working class and the bourgeoisie — is hugely significant within global politics. Yet it remains something of a mystery.
Initially identified as a powerful political force by theorists like Marx and Poulantzas, the petit-bourgeoisie was expected to decline, as small businesses and small property were gradually swallowed up by monopoly capitalism.
Yet, far from disappearing, structural changes to the global economy under neoliberalism have instead grown the petite-bourgeoisie, and the individualist values associated with it have been popularized by a society which fetishizes "aspiration", home ownership and entrepreneurship. So why has this happened?
A Nation of Shopkeepers sheds a light on this mysterious class, exploring the class structure of contemporary Britain and the growth of the petite-bourgeoisie following Thatcherism. It shows how the rise of home ownership, small landlordism and radical changes to the world of work have increasingly inculcated values of petite-bourgeois individualism; how popular culture has promoted and reproduced values of aspiration and conspicuous consumption that militate against socialist organizing; and, most importantly, what the unstoppable rise of the petit-bourgeoisie means for the left.

Notes from Below are a British political group and journal who draw lessons from the Italian labour struggles from the 1960-70s to understand the limits of the modes of organising traditionally deployed by the militant left. Following the Italian operaistas, Notes begin their politics, not in the party or in a study replete with books on history and theory, but in the workplace.
In September 2021, Notes began the Class Composition Project, whose purpose was to understand our current conjuncture better by starting with the experiences of workers in Britain who suffer its consequences and drive its developments. Based on this project, Notes have released a book, Class Composition in Britain. In this episode, Kenny and the Notes from Below collective discuss the key findings of this book, especially the potential for future resistance opened by its discoveries, its theoretical background, and the work being done elsewhere by Notes.

At a time of almost unimaginable inequality, the mainstream still tries to ignore class. Radical Chains: Why Class Matters argues that denial of class is no coincidence but in fact central to the system’s survival. Exploring largely ignored histories of struggle and challenging the many myths about class today, Radical Chains puts forward the case that it is time to place class once again at the centre of emancipatory politics.

Tonight It’s a World We Bury explores a range of tendencies central to black metal and uncovers their potential as critiques of capitalism.
Tonight It’s a World We Bury is a radical re-writing of the history and politics of black metal music.
Challenging the commonly-held perception that black metal is a genre of the right — full of wannabe Vikings, Nazis, skinheads and other unsavoury characters — Tonight It’s a World We Bury looks at an array of black metal artists to re-affirm the genre as radically anticapitalist, revolutionary and left-wing.
Utilizing an eclectic range of black metal bands, including Darkthrone, Burzum, Liturgy and Deathspell Omega, and taking in the works of Marx, Nietzsche, Deleuze and more, Tonight It’s a World We Bury is a book on black metal like no other.

Alienation, generational tensions, rampant nationalism and the pervasiveness of atomic danger are all topics that haunted late Soviet citizens, and those fears are reflected in the films meant to represent their horror genre.
In the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, production of horror movies from independent filmmakers and Hollywood skyrocketed. It was a time of intense Cold War conflict and a resurgence of conservative ideals. It’s not difficult to imagine that the ascent of horror occurred in conjunction with an increasingly scary and alienated world, and horror reflected those freights in the form of nuclear holocausts, toxic waste pollution, alien clown invaders and undead houseguests. Everyone was at risk - teenagers especially - because their present and future remained most uncertain.
If we can agree that such feelings underpinned American viewers in the age of Reagan and neo-liberalism, then what about late socialism? How did film makers depict Soviet society’s fears?

In this interview, Kenny Novis speaks with the historian Aaron Leonard about his latest book, Whole World in an Uproar: Music, Rebellion and Repression 1955-1972. This book deals with the radical history of American folk music during the cold war, as well as the ways in which radical folk singers were repressed by various institutions, including not only the FBI, but also the press and radio. In their discussion, Kenny and Aaron review some of the key themes of the book, including how the nature of political music shifted across the 40s-50s, the place of famous musicians in the resistance to the Vietnam war (including Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Phil Ochs, and more), and the broader relation between art and revolutionary politics.

In the search for new weapons, history itself becomes an arsenal of struggles. In the material processes of world history, one finds the principle of hope. These ideas are central to the work of the German Marxist Ernst Bloch, and on this episode Jon AKA TheLitCritGuy from Horror Vanguard and Profane Illuminations and B from Zer0 Books join Will and Adam in exploring and introducing his vast corpus. We discussed Bloch's theory of Utopian Hope, his relationship to Hegelian Marxism and Lukacs, and the theology of revolution.
We based our talk on Jon's essay "A Primer on Utopian Philosophy: Marxism and Utopian Struggle", you can check it out and support Jon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/primer-on-and-76597996

Adam Zmith reveals the long history of the quick rush from sniffing poppers.
3, 2, 1... inhale, deep. From the Victorian infirmary and the sex clubs of the 1970s, poppers vapour has released the queer potential inside us all.
This is the intriguing story of how poppers wafted out of the lab and into gay bars, corner shops, bedrooms and porn supercuts. Blending historical research with wry observation, Adam Zmith explores the cultural forces and improbable connections behind the power of poppers. What emerges is not just a history of pub raids, viral panics and pecs the size of dinner plates. It is a collection of fresh and provocative ideas about identity, sex, utopia, capitalism, law, freedom and the bodies that we use to experience the world.
In Deep Sniff, what starts as a thoughtful enquiry into poppers becomes a manifesto for pleasure.

The counterculture of the Sixties and the Seventies is remembered chiefly for music, fashion, art, feminism, computing, black power, cultural revolt and the New Left. But an until-now unexplored, yet no less important aspect — both in its core identity and in terms of its ongoing significance and impact — is its relationship with health.
In this popular and illuminating cultural history of the relationship between health and the counterculture, Matthew Ingram connects the dots between the beats, yoga, meditation, psychedelics, psychoanalysis, Eastern philosophy, sex, and veganism, showing how the hippies still have a lot to teach us about our wellbeing.

Welcome to Baroque Sunbursts, a new series from Zer0/Repeater on Music, Culture, and Philosophy. For our inaugural episode Adam and Kyle are joined by Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix; Artist, philosopher, theologian, and musician most known for her seminal work with LITVRGY. Ravenna joins us to look back upon the opening salvo of her musical philosophy: 2009’s Transcendental Black Metal: A Vision of Apocalyptic Humanism. We’re going to be talking about the teeth-grinding, fist clenching experience of musical intensity, the Blast Beat and its Discontents, and how ideas spanning from Christology to Nietzsche and German Idealism have inspired her work up until today. Liturgy’s latest EP is As the Blood of God Bursts the Veins of Time, and their next album 93696 will be out in March 2023, by the time this comes out they’ll most likely still be on their US tour so go and see them! We talk about German Idealism, Operatic style, Negarestani's Neorationalism, Blast Beats vs Burst Beats, and Ravenna's takes on eschatology and dogmatics in the search for new religious epistemologies.

AngryWorkers are one of the most promising political collectives existing on the left in Britain today. Today, we had the chance to speak with them about their latest book, ‘Sick of it All: Work, Inquiry & Struggle in the NHS’. As a group, AngryWorkers believe in ‘getting rooted’, or entering into workplaces, becoming a part of the workforce, and engaging with the working class where they already are instead of expecting them to come to us. This led to the publication of a previous book, titled ‘Class Power on Zero Hours’ about their experiences organising in warehouses around west London. Their latest book, ‘Sick of it All’ is an anthology with contributions from members of AngryWorkers and other organisations based on their experiences as workers inside the NHS. In this video, Kenny speaks with two members of AngryWorkers about the book and the lessons they have learned through attempting the impressive feat of building working-class organisations within the NHS.

To celebrate new Zer0 Classics edition of Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism, Adam and Will spoke to Alex Niven about his new introduction. Alex joins us in reflecting upon the historical context of the book in the midst of New Labour's Thatcherism, the student riots, and the global financial crisis, as well as exploring the key concepts of the book such as Market Stalinism, Depressive Hedonia, and the spectre of the Marxist Supernanny of postcapitalist desire. As Austerity and neoliberalism try to find a second wind in the midst of global crisis, we ask, how do we envision the emancipated future?

The history of the FBI’s involvement in quelling left-wing opposition in 20th-century America has yet to be fully documented. Aaron Leonard and Connor Gallagher are two of the foremost historians attempting to expose the true capacities of the FBI, unburdened by the conspiratorial paranoia normally surrounding this subject. In this video, Aaron Leonard and Connor Gallagher discuss the re-release of their book ‘Heavy Radicals: The FBI’s Secret War on America’s Maoists’ with Kenny Novis and Joshua Moufawad-Paul. This book serves as a detailed and well-documented reminder of the counter-revolutionary powers held by first-world governments, and includes many lessons from which today’s militants would do well to learn.

To celebrate the release of The British Marxist Historians on Zer0 Books, Kyle, Will, and Adam sat down with the author Professor Harvey J. Kaye to discuss Marxist historiography, theories of class determination, class-struggle analysis, and the project of writing a history from the bottom up. We talked peasants revolts, the role of culture in class struggle, the question of 'objectivity' in historical narrative, and knocking back vodkas with Frederic Jameson!

Craig from Acid Horizon interviews Neil Usher, author of the September 2022 release from Zer0 Books, Unfcking Work:
"*Every journey starts with the realization that we don’t have to take any more of this crap.
The world of work – and all that’s wrong with it – is dominated by 12 statements. We hear them every day. We utter them at will. But they’re all garbage.
What if we said – no more?
This is the business book for everyone who can’t bear to read business books. Which is most of us. It considers that in being part of the problem – an uncomfortable admission – we may also be the creators of the solution. In uncompromising, engaging and humorous fashion, it dismantles each statement and sets us on the path to a better world of work.
You can read each essay between meetings you’d rather not be at, after which, your working life will never be the same again."

Acid Horizon hosts Cooper and Taylor of Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour to discuss Jean-François Lyotard's Libidinal Economy, the infamous forceful poetic intervention which lambasted the French communism of the 1970s and the legacy of Marxism itself. This deep dive emerges out of Zer0's postcapitalist desire reading group which covers the incomplete final lecture series of Mark Fisher. Lyotard was an important mediator in Fisher's work and a pivotal figure in the accelerationist politics more broadly.

On this episode of Convergences: Jon, Kyle and Adam are joined by Liberation Theologian and Video Essayist Damon Garcia to talk about his new book 'The God Who Riots: Taking Back the Radical Jesus'. Damon takes us through the history of liberation theology arising from the class struggles in South America in the mid 20th century, detailing the intersections between dissident elements in the church and Marxist revolutionary militants in places such as Nicaragua, Brazil, and Cuba. We discussed the commonalities between socialist and Christian thought, how to read Jesus as a political tactician and organizer against the Roman Empire, the challenges that radical religion faces from its own institutions, and the lines of escape that lie in wait for a Christianity that rises up from below.

The Acid Horizon crew are joined by Ray Brassier to discuss the new edition of Marcuse's 5 Lectures, out on Repeater Books as 'Psychoanalysis, Politics, and Utopia', which he wrote the introduction for. We discuss Marcuse's influence on accelerationism, his historical materialist take on Freudian psychoanalysis, and the function of repression and enjoyment in a capitalist landscape where scarcity appears increasingly artificial in light of technological and cybernetic advances in production.

Ben Woodard is a highly accomplished contemporary philosopher and cultural theorist who works to devise conceptions of reality beyond and productive of the human. In this episode of the Zer0 Books Archive, Adam from Acid Horizon and Kenny speak with Ben Woodard about his 2012 book Slime Dynamics: Generation, Mutation, and the Creep of Life. This book explores what Woodard terms dark vitalism and the sliminess of life, which challenge the thesis that life is inherently positive. Woodard’s philosophy is also guided by his naturalistic reading of Schelling and his attempts to creatively escape anthropocentrism's metaphysical and ethical limits.

CW: discussion of sexual assault and harassment.
Dr. Joshua Moufawad-Paul is one of the key figures in philosophy involved in the Maoist revival in theory today. With six books already to his name, this interview offers a retrospective on his publications, focused on his critically acclaimed 2016 book ‘Continuity and Rupture: Philosophy in the Maoist Terrain.’ In this interview, Josh discusses with Kenneth his political and intellectual trajectory as it led him from anarchism to autonomism to Maoism, as well as the issues latent in both Trotskyism and contemporary anti-capitalist organising writ large, including the spree of sexual harassment cases internally disguised by major communist organisations and the first-world left’s frequent eurocentrism.
If you are interested, you can purchase Josh’s book ‘Continuity and Rupture’ here: https://johnhuntpublishing.com/zer0-books/our-books/continuity-rupture

*Correction: Kenneth misspoke in describing the ‘comrade Delta’ scandal within the SWP, accidentally calling it the ‘agent Delta’ scandal.

Jason Read joins Acid Horizon to discuss his recently released title, 'The Production of Subjectivity: Marx and Philosophy'. The discussion centers around Marx's notion of 'so-called primitive accumulation' or 'original accumulation'. Using Althusser, Deleuze and Guattari, and Balibar, Jason takes up the idea of the 'multiple logics' which inhabit Marx's work from his discussion of the commodity, the notion of exploitation, and so-called primitive accumulation. Moreover, the discussion covers the concept of 'immanent causality' as the idea which can explain the broader complexity and multiple contradictions of capitalism.

Fredric Jameson is one of the most important Marxist literary critics. We are joined by Anna Kornbluh to discuss his theory of postmodernism and particularly his work on psychoanalysis and Marxism. We analyze Jameson's incredible essay "Pleasure: A Political Issue" which looks at the relationship between psychoanalysis and Marxism.
This conversation gets at the heart of the Marxism-psychoanalysis relationship, what the stakes are, what psychoanalysis offers to Marxist analysis and more. Anna Kornbluh's research and teaching interests center on Victorian literature and Critical Theory, with a special emphasis in formalism, Marxism, psychoanalysis, and theory of the novel. She is the author of The Order of Forms: Realism, Formalism, and Social Space (University of Chicago 2019), Marxist Film Theory and Fight Club (Bloomsbury "Film Theory in Practice” series, 2019), and Realizing Capital: Financial and Psychic Economies in Victorian Form (Fordham UP 2014).

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.
