Acid Horizon

Workers of the world unite, we have nothing to lose but our chains! But just who is this ‘we’?

The Acid Horizon crew venture a deep dive into Karl Marx's "Theses on Feuerbach", both celebrating and challenging aspects of his classic meditation.

Nicolas de Warren joins Acid Horizon for a live event at Webster's Bookstore and Cafe in State College, PA.
