Acid Horizon – Details, episodes & analysis
Podcast details
Technical and general information from the podcast's RSS feed.
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.

A Life in Rebellion: Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, Black Mask, and the Surrealist Struggle in 1960-70s New York
jeudi 6 novembre 2025 • Duration 58:13
Adam is joined by comrades Abigail Susik (@abigailsusik7), Ben Morea (@ben_morea), and Breanne Fahs to discuss the synthesis of art and activism, as exemplified by Ben’s central role within such collectives as Up Against the Wall Motherfucker! Black Mask, and The Rat during the 60s and 70s in New York. We spoke about Ben’s life and work, from the “redistribution” of garbage to New York’s freshly gentrified Lincoln Centre, breaking into the Pentagon, and helping to inspire the current tactics of the black bloc. Further, we explore the practice of decommodified art against the commercialism of Andy Warhol, and what lessons the radicals of today can learn from the history of a militant, psychedelic surrealism.
A new book of interviews with Ben, “Full Circle: A Life in Rebellion” is available now from Detritus Books: https://detritusbooks.com/products/full-circle-a-life-in-rebellion-ben-morea
Ben is currently making a living through selling his own original artworks, and you can purchase one or more yourselves by getting in contact via his Instragram @ben_morea. Support radical antifascist art!

Philosophy and Magic: Meredith Graves on the Politics of the Occult and Thinking Magically in a Disenchanted World
jeudi 30 octobre 2025 • Duration 01:04:36
In this Halloween episode, Meredith Graves joins Acid Horizon to explore the occulted correspondences between philosophy, ritual, and the practice of magic. Together we trace the tangled histories of witchcraft, labor, and belief—from Aleister Crowley and Sylvia Federici to Gilles Deleuze, GWF Hegel, and the haunted legacies of modern materialism. A conversation on mysticism, matter, and the insurgent imagination, recorded in the spirit of the season.

Identity on Credit: Ajax, Achilles, and the Modern Self with Fredrik Westerlund
dimanche 17 août 2025 • Duration 01:16:23
What happens when the self we imagine drifts further from the one we actually live? In this episode, philosopher Fredrik Westerlund joins Craig and Nicholas de Warren to explore his concept of “identity on credit,” where our sense of self is built on promises yet to be realized. From Sophocles’ Ajax to Nietzsche, Deleuze, and Scheler, we trace how recognition, resentment, and failure shape the modern psyche. Together we ask whether it is possible to live beyond the creditor–debtor logic of identity.

What is 'Collapse Feminism"? with Alice Cappelle
dimanche 12 novembre 2023 • Duration 56:35
Buy the book: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/collapse-feminism/
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.

The Politics of 'Hikikomori': Social Withdrawal in Japan and Beyond featuring Nicolas Tajan
vendredi 3 novembre 2023 • Duration 43:16
Buy Nicolas' Book: https://www.routledge.com/Mental-Health-and-Social-Withdrawal-in-Contemporary-Japan-Beyond-the-Hikikomori/Tajan/p/book/9780367645724
Discover Nicolas' Book via open access: http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781351260800
This book examines the phenomenon of social withdrawal in Japan, which ranges from school non-attendance to extreme forms of isolation and confinement, known as hikikomori. Based on extensive original research including interview research with a range of practitioners involved in dealing with the phenomenon, the book outlines how hikikomori expresses itself, how it is treated and dealt with and how it has been perceived and regarded in Japan over time. The author, a clinical psychologist with extensive experience of practice, argues that the phenomenon although socially unacceptable is not homogenous, and can be viewed not as a mental disorder, but as an idiom of distress, a passive and effective way of resisting the many great pressures of Japanese schooling and of Japanese society more widely.

Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It with Joshua Dávila
mardi 31 octobre 2023 • Duration 01:04:34
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.

A How To Guide to Cosmopolitan Socialism with Matt McManus
lundi 23 octobre 2023 • Duration 01:03:25
Buy the book: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/zer0-books/our-books/how-to-guide-cosmopolitan-socialism
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.

No Platform for Fascists: Tactics and History of British Antifascism w/ Evan Smith
dimanche 15 octobre 2023 • Duration 55:09
Buy Evan's book: https://www.routledge.com/No-Platform-A-History-of-Anti-Fascism-Universities-and-the-Limits-of-Free/Smith/p/book/9781138591684
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.
