	FABIAN SOCIALISM
		The British counterpart of the German Marxian revisionists and heavily influenced by the English Historical school, the upper-middle-class intellectual group - the "Fabian Society" - emerged in 1884 as a strand of latter-day utopian socialism.
		At the core of the Fabian Society were the Webbs - Sidney J. Webb and his wife, Beatrice Potter Webb (married 1892).
		Through the relentless outpouring of Fabian Essays and the charismatic appeal of the Webbs - coupled with the prowess of literary figures such as George Bernard Shaw and H.G. Wells - ensured that they would be indeed influential among British intellectuals and government officials.

	Fabians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		For the Fabians all progress must be by slow, gradual struggle, reform-by-reform, within the law and over a lengthy period of time.
		Fabianism therefore tends towards the rule of the bureaucrats, or that section of the educated middle class.
		The fact is that all those having no access to the means of living, the working class, must work for those who have, the owning or capitalist class, at a rate less than the value of labour contained in their work.

		The Fabians were working towards a new world by indoctrinating young scholars who would eventually rise to power in various policy-making positions throughout the world by infiltrating educational institutions, government agencies, and political parties.
		The Fabians had broken away from the Liberal Party in the 1890's and contributed to the founding of the Labor Representation Committee, which in 1906, became the Labour Party.

	The Australian Fabians must remain a movement for socialist reform : Melbourne Indymedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In this veritable ‘coup d’etat’, the aim appears to be one of eliminating the traditional role of the Australian Fabians as a reformist socialist think tank of the Left, and of reducing it to a broad liberal forum devoid of traditional leftist aims or identity.
		For others, Fabianism was a vehicle for social democracy: for welfare state reform, progressive and redistributive taxation, a democratic mixed economy, and even co-operative ownership and mutualism.
		A key objective of the Fabian Society, therefore, ought also be the promotion of organizational reform in the ALP, with the intent of opening structures to accommodate mass membership and participation.

	Routing The Fabians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Founded in England in 1884, the Fabian Society's aim was to spread the ideas of socialism gradually by democratic means.
		Nevertheless it was increasingly plain to majorities of British and North American voters that attempts in the Fabian mode "to achieve through state action the coordinated control of the economic forces of society" had built up a governmental apparatus that was choking their economies.
		Fabians and other critics would denounce the foregoing as a return to laissez faire and the law of the jungle.

	ALOR - The Fabian Socialist Contribution
		The purpose of this study is to trace the pedigree and the development of the ideas which have produced the Fabian Socialist movement as one of the principal contributions to the mounting forces of a world-wide revolution threatening the basic foundations of Western and Christian civilization.
		Although the Fabian Socialists, like the Marxist-Leninist Socialists, have always attempted to present themselves as the bitter opponents of the "wealthy capitalists", the truth is that both groups were helped decisively in their activities at critical periods in their history by powerful financial groups.
		The Communists and Fabians are as one in their recognition of the fundamental truth that one centralised control tends to cause another, and that the end result is State control of everything.

	Fabian Society Founded
		Some of the better-known Fabians include atheist-turned Theosophist Annie Besant, the virulently anti-Christian dramatist George Bernard Shaw, the Atheist and novelist H.G. Wells, the Rationalist and statesman Harry Snell, and the Agnostic poet who died before his time, Rupert Brooke.
		He was one of the earliest Fabians and one of its most profound thinkers and prolific writers.
		Fabian public speakers such as Harry Snell, Ramsay MacDonald, Graham Wallas, Catherine Glasier and Bruce Glasier traveled around England giving lecturers on subjects such as "Socialism," "Trade Unionism," "Co-operation" and "Economic History." Eventually, the Fabians helped to create (1900) the unified Labour Representation Committee, which became the Labour Party.

		Fabian followers are called "agents for change." Fabian facilitators are installed in every government agency in the world, and they influence all mainstream media outlets.
		His biographers describe Fabian socialism like this: "..The difference from other organizations of the sort was that they were to do it not through revolution, as Marx advised, but by systematic, progressive legislation, enhanced by persuasion and mass education..

	Green Left - Sting like a butterfly, buzz like a bee
		Shaw's decision to pitch his tent with the comatose army of Fabians was a political choice dictated by an instinctive class feeling for “men of my own bias and intellectual habits”, critical of the way society was run but very distant from, and hostile to, the working class.
		The Fabians “took socialism off the streets and sat it down in the drawing-room”, says Holroyd, where the expert, technocratic elite-in-waiting contemplated the planned society of the future, achieved by a quiet revolution of Fabian good sense.
		However, the Fabian alternative was not Engels' mass political mobilisation against capital and state (of which insurrection is the necessary tip of the iceberg), but rather “permeation” of the capitalist state, which the Fabians saw as a neutral body.

	The New Fabians
		The Fabians took their name from Quintus Fabius Maximus, the Roman general who defeated Hannibal in the Second Punic War by refusing to fight large set-piece battles (which the Romans had lost against Hannibal), but only engaging in small actions he knew he could win, no matter how long he had to wait.
		The Fabians succeeded in their goal of establishing the "provider state," a welfare state that would care not just for the poor, but also for the middle class, from cradle to grave.
		The Fabian stained glass window, now installed at Beatrice Webb House in Surrey, England, shows George Bernard Shaw and Sidney Webb reshaping the world on an anvil, with the Fabian coat of arms in the background: a wolf in sheep's clothing.

	Hal Draper: The Two Souls of Socialism (Chap.6)
		The Fabians (more accurately, the Webbians) are, in the history of the socialist idea, that modern socialist current which developed in more complete divorcement from Marxism, the one most alien to Marxism.
		The Fabians, deliberately middle-class in composition and appeal, were not for building any mass movement at all, least of all a Fabian one.
		The Fabian Society was designed in 1884 to be pilot-fish to a shark: at first the shark was the Liberal Party; but when the permeation of Liberalism failed miserably, and labor finally organized its own class party despite the Fabians, the pilot-fish simply reattached itself.

		The second main thread in all the New Fabian Essays is a criticism of the totalitarian regimes in Russia, China and Eastern Europe, and the identification of Marxism with Stalinism.
		The attitude of the new Fabians is expressed in its sharpest form by the essay of Crossman.
		Events have forced him (and the new Fabians) to reject the cosy optimism of the Victorian Fabians, with their illusion of gradual development, of an inevitable progression slowly towards a better and better world.

	The Fabians and the British Empire, Part I
		In 1900, during the height of the Boer War, the Fabian Society, a prominent middle-class Socialist society in Britain, issued Fabianism and the Empire, an election pamphlet edited by prominent playwright and Fabian Society member George Bernard Shaw.
		Though on the surface seeming to be an issue not all that controversial, as nearly all Fabians shared a common definition of the Empire, in reality it was the most controversial of all issues debated and discussed by the Fabians from 1884 to 1914.
		Others take a more nuanced and balanced view; though noting that the Fabians were indeed imperialists, they point out that their imperialism was in many ways a more enlightened one than that which existed at the time.

		The Fabian general secretary, Bill Rogers, encouraged the formation of the Young Fabian Group and was replaced by Shirley Williams in late 1960 who continued to support the infant Young Fabian Group Committee.

		The Young Fabian Schools project will be injecting enthusiasm into school citizenship programmes by linking Young Fabian volunteers with local schools, more seminars on domestic policy (including education reform), a seminar with Hilary Benn MP on the prospects for the Make Poverty History campaign and further trips to Dublin and Edinburgh.

		Thus, and this is the leitmotif that runs throughout Fabianism and the Empire, an empire such as that of the British had to be a force for progress and good in the world to be justifiable.
		Though there are no easy answers to this, one must remember first of all that the Fabian Society and its members were primarily involved in domestic policy and that many Fabians found the Boer War an impediment to their work, a distraction.
		Nevertheless, since the Boer War was so polarizing an event, the Fabians were forced into a popular category "in which it had no true place" and in which it could be said, they did not really belong.
