For many Australian working class, "socialism in our time" was more than a slogan. The deepening depression of the 1890s cut living standards, increased class disharmony and challenged the burgeoning trade union movement. In this climate, the message of socialism was appealing - capitalism was dead and socialism was not only inevitable, it was imminent.
