Acid Horizon

Emerging from affinities with post-structuralism, abolitionism, biopolitics, communism, critical metaphysics, critical mysticism, and ontological anarchy, Acid Horizon is a philosophy and theory podcast committed to thought in motion and political struggle. While these are our grounding currents, each episode opens out onto a wider constellation: ethics, politics, phenomenology, decolonial thought, queer theory, post-psychoanalysis, disability/crip theory, anarchism, Marxism, feminism, and analyses of the emergence of the new right.

Comprised of a decentralized collective of friends and comrades, Acid Horizon cultivates a terrain of militant inquiry. From readings that span 20th-century French communism to new perspectives on German idealism, the collective has also undertaken forays into aesthetic experimentation, philosophical heresy, and the history of revolt. We seek the concepts and intensities that gesture toward new forms of life.

Acid Horizon pushes theory beyond the academy through live engagements, collaborative reading groups, and collective interventions.

Is Romantic Anti-Capitalism Proletarian? 'The Poetry of Class' with Patrick Eiden-Offe & Jacob Blumenfeld

Is Romantic Anti-Capitalism Proletarian? 'The Poetry of Class' with Patrick Eiden-Offe & Jacob Blumenfeld

Workers of the world unite, we have nothing to lose but our chains! But just who is this ‘we’? How do we identify the proletariat, the revolutionary subject, and how does the proletariat identify itself in the midst of an intensifying threat of economic precarity and capitalist immiseration. This ‘we’, to quote Wilhelm Weitling, is a tricky question. Today we’re taking a dive into Historical Materialism with the latest book in the series “The Poetry of Class: Romantic Anti-Capitalism and the ...
