	Fabianism - An essay by G.D.H. Cole (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Fabian socialism was and has remained essentially evolutionary and gradualist (hence its name, from the tactics of Fabius Cunctator), expecting socialism to come as the sequel to the full realization of universal suffrage and representative government.
		Fabian literature, on the other hand, seems often to be unconscious of the relevance of class distinctions and shows no belief at all in a class struggle as the instrument of change.
		Indeed, the Fabian policy and attitude were adopted almost in their entirety by Labour after the war; and the recent comparative inactivity of the society is largely due to the fact that the Labour party is a larger reincarnation of Fabianism.

	Archive \| May 21, 2001 \| Fabian Conservatism
		Inch by inch, because the direction of Fabian Socialists is also the same, while their ideological opponents are sometimes adamant, sometimes tired, sometimes fierce, sometimes indifferent, and sometimes even supportive, Fabians have pushed modern democracies to a point where the putative "political center" is actually very far to the left.
		Fabian Conservatism will win because it is based on the same factors that allowed Fabius to succeed in Italy thousands of years ago: Conservatives are already brave, disciplined, and motivated troops.
		Fabians do not lose battles, became they pick their battles - and many small battles, with dozens of minor victories, are better than one big toss of the dice at Cannae or Waterloo.

	Draper: The Two Souls of Socialism
		Modern socialism was born in the course of the half century or so that lies between the Great French Revolution and the revolutions of 1848.
		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.
		But the recurrence of revolutionary upheavals and social disturbances, defined precisely by the intrusion onto the historical stage of previous inactive masses and characteristic of periods when basic social change is on the agenda, is just as "normal" in history as the intervening periods of conservatism.

		Socialism, espoused in a utopian form by Robert Owen (1771-1858) in the 1820s and 1830s, was made scientific and more resolute by Karl Marx (1818-1883), who after 1849 lived in London and wrote, from his desk in the British Museum, his revolutionary masterpiece, Das Kapital.

		two streams are united: advocates of social reconstruction have learnt the lesson of Democracy, and know that it is through the slow and gradual turning of the popular mind to new principles that social reorganization bit by bit comes.

		The Fabian Society was the inspiration behind the broadly left-of-centre consensual politics across most of the Western world.
		That Fabian Society of old would never have published a pamphlet such as Tony Blair"s, which demolishes many of the shibboleths of the state-run welfare state for which the Fabians were in large measure responsible.
