The following is an excellent article written by Niki Raapana, and revised October 14, 2005. I am mirroring it here because of the scholarship involved, and because I feel this information needs to get out there, and be understood. The original article is found HERE, you can visit their website HERE, and you can download their eBook on Communitarianism HERE. I wrote a short article on “gradualism”, that you can check out as well: “Gradualism and the Fabian Society“.
Fabian socialism, like political communitarianism, is virtually unknown to most Americans. Our purpose at this website is to educate free citizens about the emerging global synthesis. Socialism is part II b. of the Hegelian dialectical triad. The ACL studies Fabian socialism not only because it is a root part of the core mathematical equation designed to move the world into submitting to a lovelier version of a centralized global government, but also because 1.) The founder of American Communitarianism is a Fabian, 2.) The Fabians established the very influential London School of (Marxist) Economics, 3.) The Fabians train the “facilitators” who lead Americans to consensus in UN-LA-21 meetings.
The ultimate goal of the British Empire was to control world trade. The ultimate goal of the American Colonial Revolution was to promote trade union affiliations among the member states. The young nation defended national traders against foreign imperial merchants and terrorists. The American system protected the independent common born American merchant against the favored aristocratic companies established by the Crowns of Europe. It is an indisputable historical fact that the American system, a “dynamic equilibrium between industry and agriculture,” worked for over one hundred years. (The Russian leader Trotsky was still complaining about the success of the American system as late as 1929.)

What is the Fabian Society?
The Fabian Society was created in 1884 after a suicide note left by Derby Fabian Henry Hutchinson also left 10,000 British pounds to the Fabians “for propaganda and other purposes.” British Fabian socialism was created to promote international communism and free trade with a friendlier face. Unlike Marx’s open and violent revolutionary agenda, the Fabian’s agenda was to quietly infiltrate and re-direct established governments. The Fabians were instrumental in creating the Peace Movement, which is the perfect antithesis to violent expansionism. Fabians also helped establish the International Court at the Hague. The Fabians designed the first League of Nations (the precursor to the United Nations). Fabian influence on the creation of the U.N. is no secret, either. While many Marxist revolutions followed the prescription for violence (Russia, China, Cuba, etc.) others, like the U.S., were infiltrated under the Fabian model for “universal brotherhood and peace.” Today the Fabian socialist model dominates in all global political movements.
Like the imperial goal, the ultimate goal of communism and socialism was to control world trade. The Fabians began infiltrating the U.S. as early as 1898. Emma Goldman represented herself as a Fabian socialist although she openly supported anarchist violence and her influence on McKinely’s assassin in 1901 is part of known history. Goldman was deported to the USSR, but many other Fabians remained behind to do the work. By the time President Woodrow Wilson took the U.S. into WWI, the Fabians were in key positions. These key Fabians drafted the first League of Nations. As more and more Fabian agents secured high-level government positions, and other quiet organizations became high-level advisers (like the Council on Foreign Relations), the original history of the United States underwent a profound change. For over one hundred years the original U.S. system was slowly rebuilt to accomodate the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto. And, the less Americans knew about the changes, the better for all concerned.
The founder of American communitarianism, Dr. Amitai Etzioni, is a Fabian. His latest book, From Empire to Community: A New Approach to International Relations outlines the Fabian’s goals for creating a stronger global government. The “new” Fabian idea for a global justice system is to combine the strength of the U.S. Imperial Army with the principles of the International Court. The ultimate goal is to establish a valid U.N. military allowed to enforce international U.N. law against “insurgents.”
The U.N. replaced the U.S. Bill of Rights with a Declaration of Human Rights after WWII. Human rights are not the same as individual liberty, just as the freemason phrase “liberty, equality, fraternity” is not the same as “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Fabian and freemason propaganda both twist things to sound almost the same, but after a brief investigation anyone with eyes can see there are major differences. The power of propaganda is in teaching phony phrases and slogans and turning it into familiar repetitions. (Way too many Americans say, “I got my human rights and they can’t never take that away.”)
The localized Communitarian “approach” shifts the focus from legitimate constitutional governments to a new form of governance, called “community government.” The Fabians plan to rule American neighborhoods based on the Soviet and Chinese models for totalitarian communities. In their skewed world view it is acceptable and okay to lie and sneak new fascist systems into formerly free countries, because ultimately it will create a lovely Utopian paradise on Mother Earth.
Their key phrases are “global security,” “human rights,” “humanitarian,” “social justice,” and “peace.” You will never hear a Fabian defend legitimate national law based in the U.S. Bill of Rights. They call individual liberty and freedom “old-fashioned” and “outdated.” Fabian propagandists distort reality. Their goal is to confuse and manipulate free people into giving up their freedom for world peace and security. Fabians say the American principles for freedom must be balanced in order to “save the planet” and “stop global terrorism.” (They never admit they’re the terrorists.)
Fabianism is elite training in socialist propaganda. 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. They are the reason Americans never hear about communitarianism or Local Agenda 21.
The propaganda campaign to convince Americans the United Nations’ International Criminal Court is a valid authority has begun in earnest. For a good example of how Fabian propaganda is utilized by Hollywood, see the movie “The Interpreter” starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn. This movie never tells us about the Fabian definition of “human rights.” It never once mentions the laws and programs limiting private property rights already enforced on U.S. soil. Fabian rhetoric never discusses the real programs and laws. Fabians only speak of lofty, vague communist ideals like “peace” and “equality.” Listen closely to the movie’s closing comments about the ICC.
Where did the Fabians originate?
In 1847 The London Communist League was a small group of elite imperialists who worked out an innovative way to regain and maintain control of the world. In 1776 the American colonials had successfully used common sense and an armed civilian population to take control of their own property, markets, and labor. The Americans won their independence and freedom from Imperialist control with logic and gunpowder. So, the defeated (but never dismantled) British Empire moved into the Middle East and Africa where they conquered many new territories. The legacy of British Imperial policies lingers to this day in scores of violent crises from South Africa to Iraq to Palestine. The British and Dutch Empires controlled the global drug trade (poppies) between India and China. The British Empire created Israel out of their Mandate for Palestine. British “lords” ruled South Africa and established the policy of apartheid. Iraq won their independence from Great Britain in 1925. Today there are still 16 colonies in the 50 countries that make up the British “Commonwealth.”
Private property rights was not only the basis for the American Revolution, but it was also the basis for many revolutions against the Empires of the world, including France, Russia, Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, the Ottoman and more. Unable to beat the American “idea” of freedom with logic or common sense, Karl Marx was hired by the London Communist League to add revolutionary flair to the confusing and unsubstantiated formula called the Hegelian dialectic. Their idea was to turn American logic and common sense into senseless mumbo-jumbo. The Americans said private property rights for the common man were the basis for his freedom, so the crafty London Communists said private property rights were the basis for his slavery.
The Communist-Imperialists infiltrated every national revolution based on the American idea. They successfully ruined the French Revolution in 1789 with the assistance of Jacobin agents of change. From that point forward they undermined every legitimate revolution against imperialism. They called their central government a “dictatorship of the proletariat.” The 10 planks of the Communist Manifestooutlined the blueprint for creating a one-world government under a dictatorship of the proletariat using violence and later, propaganda.
For fifty years they instigated violent revolutions against governments that protected the owners of private property. They expanded their tactics from murder and mayhem to sneaky infiltration and practiced deceit in 1894. Spartacus School.net.co.uk gives a nice overview of the Fabians: “The Fabians believed that capitalism had created an unjust and inefficient society. They agreed that the ultimate aim of the group should be to reconstruct ‘society in accordance with the highest moral possibilities’. The Fabians rejected the revolutionary socialism of H. M. Hyndman and the Social Democratic Federation and were concerned with helping society to move to a socialist society ‘as painless and effective as possible’.” (The “highest moral possibilities” is the same mantra used by Dr. Etzioni and his “moral” communitarians.)
The Society expanded under Beatrice and Sidney Webb, founders of the London School of Economics. George Bernard Shaw became one of the first members of the London Fabian Society. 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.. He favored gradualism over revolution and in a pamphlet he wrote in 1897 he predicted that: socialism will come by prosaic installments of public regulation and public administration, enacted by ordinary governments.”
The Fabian Society and their London School of Economics promoted the American base of operations with the Harvard Socialist Club.
Today the British Fabians lead the world toward the Ultimate Third Way. American presidents are educated at elite British universities on scholarships provided by British conquerors (Cecil Rhodes-Rhodesia). And what about their partners in the heroin trade between India and China? Well just because a member of the Dutch Royal family was once a Nazi, don’t you know the Dutch are more moral now? The International Court of Justice is at the Dutch Imperial Palace at The Hague.
