		They found this ideology in the Fabian Society, formed on October 24, 1883, by Edith Nesbit and Hubert Bland, who created a socialist debate group with Edward Pease, though the actual name for the society was suggested the next year by a new member, Frank Podmore.
		The Fabians (as members of the society came to be called) stressed that social democracy would come not through revolution and violence as Marx theorized but rather from slow and steady democratic movement.
		It therefore aims at the establishment of a society in which equality of opportunity will be assured, and the economic power and privileges of individuals and classes abolished through the collective ownership and democratic control of the economic resources of the community.

	Fabians

		Fabianism therefore tends towards the rule of the bureaucrats, or that section of the educated middle class.
		The concept of class struggle and of revolution is alien to the rose-tinted reformists of the British left characterised by the Fabian Society and the Labour Party.

	Shaw, ed., Fabian Essays in Socialism, Front Matter: Library of Economics and Liberty
		In 1884 The Fabian Society was founded in England with the aim of bringing about a socialist society by means of intellectual debate, the publication of books and pamphlets, and the "permeation" of socialist ideas into the universities, the press, government institutions, and political parties.
		Whereas the Fabian Society wanted to turn socialism from a minority intellectual and political movement into a mainstream movement, the Liberty and Property Defense League was trying to prevent the slow degeneration of classical liberalism into a new form of liberalism which supported increasing amounts of government intervention in the economy.
		Historically one might argue that the Fabian Society "won" the intellectual and political war against the individualists and free marketeers as classical liberalism was largely a spent force by 1914.

		The Fabian Society later went on to serve as an instrument in the founding of the London School of economics and the Labor Party.

		While his ideas as part of the Fabian Society platform, were not seen implemented, the school served as a basis for such long lasting establishments as the London School of economics and the British Labor Party, which in a far- fetched way fulfills his dreams- to educate the people.

	Fabian Society Founded
		Founders Frank Podmore and Edward Pease envisioned a society opposed to the revolutionary theory of Marxism, holding instead that social reforms and Socialistic public policy can be instituted through "permeation": that is, through Socialist public policy writing and election of Fabian-supported Members of Parliament — in effect, using the system to change the system.
		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.
		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.

		Sydney Olivier, before he joined the Fabian Society, was one of the managing group, and amongst others concerned in it were the Rev. C.L. Marson and the Rev. W.E. Moll.
		What the Fabian Society did was to point out that Socialism did not necessarily mean the control of all industry by a centralised State; that to introduce Socialism did not necessarily require a revolution because much of it could be brought about piecemeal by the votes of the local electors.
		The Fabian Society held no meeting between July 19th and September 20th, and there is nothing in the minutes or the Annual Report to show that the Society as such took any part in the historic conflict.
