At Last They’re in the Spotlight
IAIN HUNTER
Have you noticed how suddenly people are talking about the Fabian Society? Up and down the land, two and two are being put together and realisation is dawning that the slow tortoise-like ambling of the wolf in sheep’s clothing, which lives at 61, Petty France, London, just across from St. James’s Park, has picked up speed and gone through a brisk walk, into a trot and, even if not quite yet at a gallop, at least into a canter.
They’re in government. At least half the cabinet of the worst government led by the worst Prime Minister in living memory are members of the Fabian Society. They have an unassailable majority in the House of Commons but that brings with it some problems and there are signs that many on the bank benches of the government are not entirely happy with the performance so far of ‘their’ government. With the Labour Party tanking in the opinion polls and Kier Starmer achieving the accolade of becoming the least popular Prime Minister in the shortest possible time since records began, many of his party think he has not been left wing enough and they want him to go lefter faster.
This government of Fabians has already discarded its sheep’s clothing and shown us that it is red in tooth and claw. We have two-tier policing, two-tier justice, and two tier rights where the rights of the indigenous white majority come second to the rights of migrants who are being housed at the expense of that self-same indigenous white majority.
We are about to have the second budget from the communist Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves in November, during which she is widely expected to go back on the Labour Party’s manifesto promise not to raise rates of Income Tax. However, it did leave her the scope to raise Income Tax in another way through ‘fiscal drag’ by extending the freezing of the Personal Tax Allowance and Higher Rate Threshold. This she did. She has also caused a great deal of upset and anger with Inheritance Tax due to be imposed on hitherto untaxed family farms and the dragging into people’s estates of private pension funds in 2027 which previously could be passed on tax free.
Then there is the inept handling of the murders of three little girls and the severe wounding of several others in Southport last year and, more recently, the synagogue murders in Manchester, both perpetrated by ‘cultural enrichers’ typical of the people whom our treacherous governments of both parties have been welcoming into our homeland and spreading amongst us. This in spite of our telling our political establishment, constantly since the 1960s, that we did not want immigration on the scale that it has been happening.
I first wrote about the Fabians, those slow-burning world revolutionaries, last year in a two part series. Part one is here and part two here. They have been an engine for turning Britain into a socialist or full blown communist state since 1884. It’s very tempting to think that George Orwell, in writing his classic of a totalitarian dystopia, chose the year 1984 as the title because it would be 100 years on from the founding of the Fabian Society. It’s even more tempting to think that he did it deliberately to warn the rest of us about the Fabians and what they might be capable of doing to us.
They have certainly had their ‘Long March’ which they started before Chairman Mao made the term fashionable. The Fabian Society is bound up with the Labour Party and it was nearly forty years old before the first Labour Prime Minister, Fabian Ramsay McDonald, took office. Every successive Labour Prime Minister has been a member of the Fabian Society.
The influence of the society has extended far and wide, well beyond the confines of the Labour Party and the London School of Economics which its prominent early members founded. At the Modern History Project there is a little gold mine of information related to the Fabian Society. Here we find, inter alia, that:
That the Fabians consciously sought the company, collaboration and support of the wealthy and powerful is evident from Fabian writings such as Beatrice Webb‘s “Our Partnership”, which abound in references to “catching millionaires”, “wire-pulling”, “moving all the forces we have control over”, while at the same time taking care to “appear disinterested” and claiming to be “humble folk whom nobody suspects of power” (Webb, 1948).
It is essential to understand, however, that this was far from being a one-way affair. The leading elements of liberal capitalism — the big businessmen, industrialists and bankers — who had amassed great wealth in the wake of the industrial revolution, were no selfless philanthropists. They aimed to strengthen their own position of power and influence by two means: (1) by monopolising finance, economy and politics; and (2) by controlling the growing urban working class.
The first aim was to be achieved by the centralisation of capital, means of production, etc. The second was to be gained through organising the workers and through promises of a larger share in resources. These aims coincided with those of the Socialist movement of which the Fabians aimed to become the leading element.
As pointed out by H. G. Wells, big business was by no means antipathetic to Communism as “the larger big business grows the more it approximates to Collectivism” (Wells, p. 100). Similarly, Joseph A Schumpeter, who taught David Rockefeller at Harvard, wrote:
“The true pacemakers of socialism were not the intellectuals or agitators who preached it but the Vanderbilts, Carnegies and Rockefellers”
The Fabian Society has been particularly close to the Rockefellers who are covert Fabian Socialists. David Rockefeller wrote a sympathetic senior thesis on Fabian Socialism at Harvard (”Destitution Through Fabian Eyes”, 1936) and studied left-wing economics at the Fabian Society’s London School of Economics. Not surprisingly, the Rockefellers have funded countless Fabian projects, including the LSE. Already in the late 1920s and 1930s, the LSE received millions of dollars from the Rockefeller and Laura Spelman Foundations, becoming known as “Rockefellers baby”.
The Fabian Society was in close touch with the Rothschilds both directly and through go-betweens like Lord Arthur Balfour. The Balfours were among the chief representatives of Britain’s money power and were involved in the creation of organisations advancing its interests from the Anglo-American League and the Pilgrims Society to Imperial College and the League of Nations. While his brother Gerald was President of the Board of Trade, Arthur Balfour served as President of the Local Government Board and later as Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary. While in these posts, he conferred on a regular basis with both Lord Natty Rothschild and the Fabian leadership and used his position to advance their agendas.
Lord Rothschild himself was personally involved, with Sidney Webb, in the restructuring of the University of London into which the Fabians’ London School of Economics (LSE) was incorporated in 1898. He also provided funds for the LSE and served as its third president, after his relative Lord Rosebery
The LSE continues to maintain close links with Rothschild and allied interests. For example, LSE’s Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment is funded by the Grantham Foundation, whose founder Jeremy Grantham of the investment management firm Grantham, Mayo & Otterloo (GMO) was an economist at Rothschild-controlled Royal Dutch Shell. The Grantham Institute’s advisory board includes Sir Evelyn de Rothschild of EL Rothschild Ltd. and Vikram Singh Mehta of Shell Companies, India. Rothschild, Shell, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, J. P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley are members of the LSE Careers Patron Group. Peter Sutherland,*chairman of Goldman Sachs International, is chairman of the LSE, etc.
*Note: Peter Sutherland died in 2018 but not before being United Nations Special Representative for International Migration from 2006 to 2017 and effectively advocating the destruction of Western nations states through open borders migration.
Thus we can see clearly that leftism is not in opposition to big business. It is, in fact, a tool that big business has used and continues to use in order to control the masses. In light of that, the ‘Fabianism’ of David Rockefeller, ‘un Grand Fromage’ in US banking, is completely understandable. This is the same Rockefeller who was the enthusiastic progenitor of the United Nations, The Club of Rome, The World Economic Forum, the Trilateral Commission and, of course, the Bilderburg Group – which was the brainchild of Joseph Retinger, a London-based Polish Socialist and close collaborator of the Fabian Society.
We can now understand why our useless, embarrassing Prime Minister preferred Davos to Westminster. He is a little lap-dog who is doing the bidding of the over-rich and over-powerful in the hope that, once he has been ejected from Downing Street, he will find a lucrative position held open for him at a globalist organisation and he will have a place on the ark when the world goes dark and the flood waters rise.
All this has now been noticed and there are little light bulbs beginning to shine the length and breadth of Britain. People are at last beginning to see that this organisation is the progenitor of everything that has gone wrong within British politics and government and therefore the whole country since the Second World War. It has been along time in coming but I suppose we should be thankful that it is now happening.
Fabians are everywhere, so much so that that are now, de facto, the establishment. Many public institutions and quangos are run by Fabians. The judiciary is stuffed with Fabians, the universities are run by Fabians and even the governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, is a Fabian. They want to destroy the nuclear family, they want to abolish the nation state, they want open borders and they want to abolish private property.
First to shine the light were UK Column News when Ben Rubin spent some time exposing the society in a news bulletin a month or two ago. To be fair, the Column’s Mike Robinson had first written about the Fabians in 2009 and Professor Gloria Moss also has an article on the UK Column website. Various individual podcasters have picked up the baton, notably June Slater and “Bruce Unfiltered” and several others but these tend to be singing to their own choirs.
On slightly more mainstream media, a month or so ago at Talk Radio, Alex Phillips did some digging during which she brought in Barrister Steven Barrett and political journalist and strategist Joseph Robertson.
This didn’t go unnoticed so a defence was mounted in, of all places, the Spectator by one Stephen Pollard, a frequent contributor, who himself had been for four years the Research Director of the Fabian Society in the 1990s during the rise of Blair. Exhibiting the time-honoured Fabian retreat, denial and obfuscation, Pollard pretty much rubbished everything that Alex, Steven and Joseph said, seeking to portray them as deranged conspiracy theorists. He finished up with this:
Does it matter that so many people online seem to think that membership of a harmless, worthy and – truth to tell – slightly dull organisation is in fact evidence of a secret society that is bent on subverting the West? No more than any more of the wacky conspiracy theories that are the meat and drink of the online world. But it is evidence of at least one thing: the drip, drip, drip delegitimisation of our institutional norms through willingness of all sides of the divide to accept anything, no matter how bonkers, if it provides a political dopamine hit.
It won’t wash, Stephen. We see you now.
So at last do some people at the rougher coal face of society. Craig Houston is a Scottish working class podcaster who has only recently become involved in political matters, chiefly Scottish affairs, and who had never heard of the Fabian Society. He had Steven Barret on to tell him all about it so this has gone out to his 81,300 subscribers. Now they know. The word is spreading.

‘The Fabian Strategy’: A Determined And Patient Attack To Bring Socialism To The West
DEAN DWYER
It would be safe to say that not many people would have heard of Consul Quintus Fabius Maximus. Yet, his military strategy has been essential to the progression of socialism throughout the Western world. Before we get to that, it is important to understand who this man was and why his strategy became so popular throughout warfare and social engineering alike.
Fabius (as he is more popularly known) was a Roman military commander and statesman during the third century BC. He earned the title “Cunctator,” which is Latin for “delayer”. At the onset of the Second Punic War, fought between 218 and 201 BC, Rome was attacked by the brilliant and feared Carthaginian general Hannibal and his contingent of war elephants. The initial stages of the war were marked by a series of catastrophic defeats for Rome at the hands of Hannibal. At the time, war was generally fought by brutal head-on assaults. However, instead of meeting the formidable forces of Hannibal head-on, Fabius opted for a strategy of delay (hence his title) and attrition.
Focusing on caution and patience, Fabius sought to wear down his enemy’s forces through a war of attrition, later becoming known as the “Fabian strategy”. Not everybody in Rome was a fan of the strategy. Some called it cowardly and un-Roman. However, the Romans ultimately triumphed over Hannibal through use of the strategy and the leadership of another Roman with a far more aggressive and ruthless military posture. Nevertheless, the Fabian strategy became etched in the history books as a legitimate fighting methodology, designed to wear down an enemy force by cutting off its supply chain. Many historians claim that it was this strategy, employed by George Washington, which turned the tide against the British.
To the modern day, I would like to introduce you to a group called The Fabian Society, so named because of the tactics of Fabius. So that there is no mistaking where they place themselves on the political spectrum, let me quote you the slogan from the website of the United Kingdom chapter: The Future of the Left Since 1884. According to that same website, the group’s first pamphlet contained this explanatory note: “For the right moment you must wait, as Fabius did most patiently when warring against Hannibal, though many censured his delays; but when the time comes you must strike hard, as Fabius did, or your waiting will be in vain, and fruitless.”
For Fabians, they advance their cunning and patient strategy in three phases: educate, agitate and organise. Their “education” strategy was not designed for the masses – they would seek to educate a chosen few with a view to implanting them in government to oversee reform through the use of agitation and organisation.
In the minds of the Fabian socialists of England, they believed that a handful of cultural elites could transform a country from a free society into a society where selected elites or “anointed” members of society engineer societal outcomes based on centrally planned schemes. Its core goal was the introduction of socialism through gradual political and economic reform. No wonder Fabian Socialism has, in the past, been called “Communism’s helpmate”. Under the Fabian worldview, the common person’s views, personal plans and desires become subordinated to that of the elite ruling class who become the grand designers and engineers of that society. Amusingly, English historian A.J.P. Taylor termed the Fabian Society “socialism for snobs”.
One of the foundational beliefs of the Fabian version of social reform was the field of eugenics. Early Fabians such as Sidney and Beatrice Webb were especially influenced by the idea that the lowest echelons of society, sometimes termed the ‘‘residuum’’, had hereditary defects and would increasingly degenerate. In fact, Sidney Webb, in his book The Difficulties of Individualism (1896) would write about the “breeding of degenerate hordes of a demoralised ‘residuum’ unfit for social life’’. In short, Fabians believed it was necessary to encourage better citizenry to have more children while in turning discouraging inferior citizenry from procreating. Havelock Ellis, a well-known Fabian, was quoted as saying: “So it is the question of breed, the production of fine individuals, the elevation of the ideal of quality in human production over that of mere quantity, begins to be seen, not merely as a noble idea in itself, but as the only method by which Socialism can be enabled to continue on its present path.”
Fabians are patient with their goals, evidenced by their choice of mascot. In early publications, they used the picture of an angry tortoise with the motto, “When I strike, I strike hard.” The trouble is, because of this “make haste slowly” approach to the introduction of socialism, many people in Western nations have become completely oblivious to the fact that the strategy has made enormous inroads. After all, the Fabian strategy is founded upon the goal to bring about an unnoticeable transition to socialism within a democratic framework.
In fact, an early coat of arms for the Fabian Society was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, shown on a stained-glass window referred to as “the Fabian Window” which is displayed at the London School of Economics (which was founded by Fabian Society members). On the window, the coat of arms is clearly displayed, as are prominent members of the Society. Two are displayed holding hammers, with a representation of the earth sitting on the anvil and the words “Remould It Nearer To The Heart’s Desire” appearing across the top of the window. At the bottom of the window are men and women kneeling in prayer before a number of books. To give you an indication as to the fact that these people worship socialism, the books they are kneeling before are works espousing the benefits of the socialist mindset.
Recently elected Prime Minister in the UK, Keir Starmer is a Fabian, spelling very bad news for UK citizens who value the rights of the individual. This is also troubling news for Israel, given that the Fabian Society has a long history of prejudice against Jews. In fact, openly published on their website is this statement referring to the Society’s early members: “Leading members of the society held racist prejudices and opinions which were not in keeping with the society’s commitment to equality for all, either then or now. Fabians engaged in debates on eugenics and were racist towards people of Jewish, black and Asian origin.” If this antisemitic undertone persists, this may go to some lengths to explain why the Starmer-led government recently introduced a partial suspension of arms exports to Israel. As much as people might try, movements rarely escape their roots.
French social critic Frederic Bastiat (1801–1850) once said, “The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended.” Although we would gladly promote the principles of private property ownership, free enterprise, free speech and freedom of religion, when those principles are inadequately defended, those who advocate for a socialist state will erode them by means of stealth. Therefore, we are bearing witness to the dual problem of the determined and patient attack of socialists coupled with an inept defense on the part of those who take the aforementioned principles for granted.
As Christian apologist Alex McFarland recently said concerning socialism, “It is imperative that such indoctrination be answered, and our publishing and broadcasting efforts critique socialism factually and effectively.” My hope is that this article will equip people in some small way to be alert to and respond to this destructive philosophy.
