On this Halloween, Jon Greenaway returns to the show to discuss his new book "Capitalism: A Horror Story (Gothic Marxism and the Dark Side off the Radical Imagination)".  What does it mean to see horror in capitalism? What can horror tell us about the state and nature of capitalism? Blending film criticism, cultural theory, and philosophy, Capitalism: A Horror Story examines literature, film, and philosophy, from Frankenstein to contemporary cinema, delving into the socio-political function of the monster, the haunted nature of the digital world, and the inescapable horror of contemporary capitalist politics. Revitalizing the tradition of Romantic anticapitalism and offering a “dark way of being red”, Capitalism: A Horror Story argues for a Gothic Marxism, showing how we can find revolutionary hope in horror- a site of monstrous becoming that opens the door to a Utopian future.

Jon is also the cohost of the Horror Vanguard Podcast, and recent author of  the text Theology, Horror and Fiction out on Bloomsbury press. Today, Jon joins us to discuss the prospects for a 'Gothic' Marxism, one that recognizes the monstrous in capital and the people whom capital monsters in its drive for infinite accumulation. We discuss the figure of the monster, the return of the repressed trauma of capital in the sphere of contemporary horror culture, and what it means to stand in solidarity with the monstrous and the profane. Thinkers included in the discussion include Marx, China Mieville, Margaret Cohen, Paul B. Preciado, Laboria Cubonics, Hegel, Silvia Federici, Walter Benjamin, and Deleuze and Guattari. Also discussed are such horror staples as Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, The Walking Dead, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Tourist Trap, His House, The VVitch, and many more!Link's to Jon's work:The LitCrit Guy on YouTubeHorror VanguardJon's Blog---Contribute to Acid HorizonSubscribe to us on Apple PodcastsHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog)New Revolts (Matt's Blog)Revolting Bodies (Will's BlogSplit Infinities (Craig's SubstackSereptie (Pod Music)Merch StoreSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast)

In this episode we talk about Marxist romanticism and the gothic strain in Marxism, or "gothic Marxism." We attempt to salvage the detritus of bourgeois society and the broken dreams of generations of the defeated to piece together a vision of world worth fighting for. Marx often used Gothic imagery in his writings and held a strong romantic streak that we think has been ignored by "vulgar" Marxists who cling to the mechanistic Protestantism and scientism of the enlightenment. This is only part one of a two part episode and we promise you we talk about horror movies eventually, just keep your shorts on.

In the mob's damning stares, the shtetl woman saw reflections of not only burning torches but also burning hypocrisy, and this the worse conflagration. It wasn't enough that they'd spread their shameful lies to her customers. It wasn't enough that they'd marked and ransacked her market stall. They, whose children daily enjoyed the fruits of her sister-kin's bloody toils, now dared bring their accusations of blood libel to a part of town they'd otherwise never deign to enter and to the door of her family home?! No, not this night, she thought, not without real sacrifice. For that was what they accused, and that was what they demanded, wasn't it? So be it then. "Yes! Yes, I drank of your child's blood!" she moaned at her nearest accuser. "And yours," she cried to the next. "He's the fat one, isn't he? Tonight I'll bathe in his!" The crowd inhaled a ghastly gasp. "And yours!" And another. "And yours!" The horde receded. "And tomorrow the streets will run red with goyim baby blood!" Stream below, download the WAV version, and subscribe to our podcast here.
