I realize that Halloween is a commercial event, but I think there are other outlets for criticism of capitalism. Things where you can make a difference and at the same time let the children have fun. I don't think you can change much if you dwell on trivialities that bring people together despite all the commerce. That doesn't seem to me to be the right approach.
I don't mind participating for the sake of making a child happy, yes, or to support a local business.
