THE FABIAN SOCIETY
A British socialist organisation whose purpose is to advance the principles of democratic socialism via gradualist and reformist effort in democracies, rather than by revolutionary overthrow. If it sounds like communism, that’s because it is.

The Fabian Society derives its name from the Roman general Quintus Fabius, known as Cunctator from his strategy of delaying his attacks on the invading Carthaginians until the right moment.

The Fabian Society was founded on 4 January 1884 in London and is a forbear to the HUMANIST movement.

They wanted to transform society by setting an example of clean simplified living for others to follow. Some members also wanted to become politically involved to aid society's transformation; they set up a separate society.

Acc to Jon Perdue, "The logo of the Fabian Society, a tortoise, represented the group’s love of slow transition to socialism, its coat of arms, a 'wolf in sheep’s clothing', represented its preferred method for achieving its goal."Their motto:
 When I strike, I strike hard.

The first Fabian Society pamphlets advocated social justice & coincided with the zeitgeist of Liberal reforms during the early 1900s, including eugenics.

Fabian socialists were in favour of reforming Britain's imperialist foreign policy as a conduit for internationalist reform, and were in favour of a capitalist welfare state modelled on the Bismarckian German model They favour a national minimum wage.

Rupert Murdoch is a Fabian & has a bust of Lenin in his home. Other Fabians include:
Bob Hawke, Julia Gillard, Gough Whitlam, Bob Carr, Paul Keating, John Howard, Gareth Evans & Barry Jones, Kim Beasley, Kerry Packer, Neville Wran, Malcolm Fraser,

The Australian Fabians have historically had close ties with the Australian Labor Party (ALP). This is evidenced by the number of past ALP prime ministers, federal ministers and state premiers who were active members of the Australian Fabians while in office.

Immediately upon its inception, the Fabian Society began attracting many prominent contemporary figures drawn to its socialist cause, including George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, and Emmeline Pankhurst.
