From the Paper:
" Of all modern political groups the Fabian Society of Great Britain may have remained truest to its name. Unlike all the Democratic, Socialist, Liberal, Labor, and Communist groups, the Fabian name referred to a strategy rather than to an ideology. The name was taken from the Roman general Fabius Cunctator whose fame rested on his skill at defeating superior forces by means of wily tactics, great patience, and the avoidance of full-scale confrontation. The Fabian Society, founded by Thomas Davidson in 1883, aimed at the introduction of a socialist state in Great Britain. Unlike many groups that advocated various forms of socialism, however, the Fabians rejected the idea of revolution in favor of gradual, evolutionary change in the existing political and economic structure. The Society experienced periods of low activity during more than a century of existence.."More papers on Fabian Society of Great Britain:
