Postcapitalist Desire

Praise

“Mark Fisher was a brilliant public speaker. He found new connections between music, psychoanalysis, and politics. His lectures opened the world, making it available not just for critique but for comradeship.” - Jodi Dean, author of Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging  

“Mark’s unparalleled ability to infuse ideas with life comes across beautifully in these lectures. This series of talks finds Mark weaving his way through working-class history, countercultural libidinal movements, and high theory in an unwavering effort to find an escape from capitalism.” - Nick Srnicek

“Mark Fisher has proven to be one of the most influential thinkers of our time. These lectures are a fantastic resource for those of us interested in consciousness, counterculture, and communism. To read them is to remember, once again, Mark’s relentless appetite for the emancipation of desire from capital.” - Helen Hester, author of Xenofeminism

“How can the libidinal infrastructure of capitalism be confronted and reconfigured for communism? These lectures, intimate and exploratory, don’t have all the answers — more vital than that, they show the necessity of this wrenching question in our catastrophic times.” - Nicholas Thoburn, author of Anti-Book: On the Art and Politics of Radical Publishing
