The Fabian Society

History & Foundation

  • 400 years before Christ, a Greek philosopher Plato wrote The Republic – the beginning of Socialism.
  • In this book Plato dreamed of a "World Republic" headed not by a president, but by a royal "world philosopher king" or "prince"
  • Karl Marx & Hitler were great students of Plato.
  • In 1880 H.M. Hyndman founded the Rose Street Club in London, dedicated to the destruction of Christianity.
  • 1883 – the name was changed to the Social Democratic Foundation. Membership included Marx’s daughter Eleanor & Marx’s partner Frederick Engels.
  • Eleanor split from the group with her husband and started the Socialist League.
  • Jan 4 1884, both groups combined into the Fabian Society, named by Frank Podmore, a Spiritualist.

  • Names after Fabius Maximus, the Roam General who defeated Hannibal with slow, incremental steps.
  • The Coat of Arms was a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”

    Philosophy & Principles
  • The philosophy of the Fabian Society was written in 1887, and each member is obliged to support it.
    "It reads ... 'It (Fabian Society) therefore aims at the re-organisation of society by the emancipation of land and industrial Capital from individual and class ownership ... The Society accordingly works for the extinction of private property in land…
  • Fundamental principle is that a select brain trust should plan for, and direct, all of society.
  • They favor nationalism of land, believing that rents collected by landowners are unearned
  • Fabians, like other socialists, claim to represent a progressive society; but, like communists, they are devoted to dictatorship.

    About
    The British Fabian Society plan to takeover the world by the City of London financial community was first published in a book entitled All These Things by a New Zealand author and journalist, A. N. Field. (I have personally spoken to her to confirm that she was persecuted after the publication of this book.)

    Quotes
    George Bernard Shaw, a leading member of the Fabian Society, said the Society made it possible for respectable citizens to support socialism without suspicion of lawless desire to overturn the existing order.

    He also stated: “Fabianism feeds on Capitalism, but excretes Communism.”

    And again: “Our propaganda is one of permeating – we urged our members to join the Liberal & Radical Associations in their district, or, if they preferred it, the Conservative Associations - we permeated the party oganisations and pulled all the strings we could lay our hands on with the utmost adroitness and energy, and we succeeded so well that in 1888 we gained the solid advantage of a Progressive majority full of ideas that would never have come into their heads had not the Fabians put them there."
