on part II.
its a shame the criticism of Congo colonialism derives entirely from how inefficient and greedy the invaders are in terms of work effort and wanting to make a fortune, and not much to do with how terrible it is to invade another country and enslave their people in general as a concept.
like "oh man, they treat the slaves poorly so they can't do work well!" and not "oh man they enslave and beat them!"

Marlow's description and opinions of the absurd happenings and "farcical" nature of work and hollow, meaningless tasks carried out by the Company is genuinely hilarious. i am feeling the same thing at this very moment at my desk at work.
Useless, inefficient, and pointless, yet somehow everyone dreams of earning more money through their work and being richer than they deserve to be.
