Commentary and analysis to persuade people to become socialist and to act for themselves, organizing democratically and without leaders, to bring about a world of common ownership and free access. We are solely concerned with building a movement of socialists for socialism. We are not reformists with a programme of policies to patch up capitalism.

Heart of Darkness
Józef Korzeniowski, better known as Joseph Conrad, returned to London 123 years ago today after many years working at sea and embarked on a writing career. His first novel, Almayer’s Folly, was published in 1895. But it was Conrad's time as captain of a steamboat on the Congo River that would inspire his novella Heart of Darkness (1902). This work is reviewed from a socialist perspective here as part of A Novel Approach to History series.
