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.

Witness to the Hellfire of Genocide: Wasim Said’s Testament from Gaza
In this episode, we present the work of Wasim Said, a comrade from Gaza who has documented the atrocities they and their people have experienced during the ongoing intensification of Israel's genocidal war on Palestine in his first book "Witness to the Hellfire of Genocide". The logistics and safety of an interview being made near impossible amidst the horrors, we instead read out a text sent to us by Wasim, and talk to Louis Allday from Liberated Texts who helped bring the book to publication. We discuss the nature of Wasim's struggle as a Palestinian man and as an active practitioner of literature as resistance, the dehumanization of genocide, and the way in which Wasim explicitly uses the medium of writing to transform complicity into witness and responsibility in the consciousness of those who receive his testimony and that of the Palestinian people.
You can purchase the book at https://1804books.com/products/witness-to-the-hellfire-of-genocide
