In the second half of episode eight, recorded in July, we read and discuss excerpts from the first issue of Imago; the new theory annual from Locust Review. Tish reads the 1937 Michelist speech, presented at the third Science Fiction convention in Philadelphia, “Mutation or Death,” outlining their communist perspective for the SF genre. Alex reads an excerpt from Kira Woodworth’s essay, “Pink Parasols at the Barricades” about the Seattle CHOP autonomous zone created during the BLM uprising in 2020. And Adam reads the Imago review of A.M. Gittlitz’s book, I Want to Believe: Posadism, UFOs, and Apocalypse Communism, explaining the particular origins of what has become a kind of socialist ufology.
