Socialists Must Reclaim Halloween China Mieville on gothic Marxism, the Right’s strange appropriation of trick-or-treating, and socialists’ historic defense of the flagrantly imaginary.

Halloween can be a source of the imaginative ammunition necessary for socialist politics.

For socialist fantasy writer China Mieville, it’s an intuitive solidarity with those called monsters and a principled refusal to be afraid of the dark.

DSA supports the mass mobilizations against Donald Trump. As socialists we must be clear: defeating Trump and his administration means defeating the whole capitalist, imperialist system. Join DSA to help build the movement for a better world.
