Invaluable insight into the Progressive's and their Socialist agenda. Most of us have never contemplated socialism because we have never had to. After reading the first essay by George Bernard Shaw and imagining that creepy old man speaking those words I felt very disturbed by the prospect of what they want to turn our country into and their premise for doing so. Please share this so that others may learn what we are dealing with and mentally prepare themselves.

Origins of American Progressivism

If you watched Glenn Beck's special on Progressives and Communism a couple of weeks ago you may have heard him mention the "Fabian Society" as the origin of the American Progressive Movement. He is correct in this statement. I had read about the Fabian Society while reading "The Creature From Jeckyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin. It was a book I began reading because I wanted to better understand the Federal Reserve Bank and its relationship with our country. I will not go into the book any more than to say that it is prophetic. It was written in 1994 and explains everything that is occurring today economically and politically through a documented historical context. This book connects political and economic while explaining why things are happening the way they are. Anyhow, to quote the book, the author writes in regards to the Fabians,

 

"The IMF and the World Bank were created at a meeting of global financiers and politicians held at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in 1944. Their announced goals were to facilitate international trade and to stabilize the exchange rates of national currencies. The unannounced goals were quite different. They were the elimination of the gold-exchange standard as the basis of currency valuation and the establishment of world socialism.

The method by which gold was to be eliminated in international trade was to replace it with a world currency which the IMF, acting as the world central bank, would create out of nothing. The method by which world socialism was to be established was to use the World Bank to transfer money - disguised as loans- to the governments of underdeveloped countries and to do so in such a way as to insure the demise of free enterprise. The money was to be delivered from the hands of politicians and bureaucrats into the hands of other politicians and bureaucrats. When the money comes from government, goes to government, and is administered by government, the result will be expansion of government.

The Theoreticians who dominated the conference at Bretton Woods were the well-known Fabian Socialist from England John Maynard Keynes (Keynesian Economics), and the Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury, Harry Dexter White. White became the first Executive Director for the United States IMF.

The Fabians were an elite group of intellectuals who agreed with Communists as to the goal of socialism but disagreed over tactics. Whereas Communists advocated revolution by force and violence, Fabians advocated gradualism and the transformation of society through legislation.

It was learned in later years that Harry Dexter White was a member of a Communist espionage ring. Thus, hidden from view, there was a complex drama taking place in which the two intellectual founders of the Bretton-Woods accords were a Fabian Socialist and a Communist, working together to bring about their mutual goal: world socialism."

 

He wrote this in 1994 and that excerpt is from the summery of chapter 5. This book has 26 chapters and is 600 pages long. Read it and it will fill in all of the blanks you have. It was my red pill.

 

There is a lot more that I could say about this book and its author but I will refrain from doing so at this time as the purpose of this post was to focus your attention on the Fabian Society. I read this and never forgot the Fabian Society as he has a rendering of the Fabian crest which is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

 

So this brings me to a book that I stumbled upon while looking for a connection between some famous individuals and the Fabians. It is called "Socialism : The Fabian Essays, The American Edition". The book is edited by and has essays from George Bernard Shaw (ring a bell?) as well as many other famous Fabians from the UK and USA at the turn of the 20th century. The book is copy write 1894 and is from the Wisconsin University Library. I also found a copy from Harvard but it does not have the Introduction of the American Edition. Otherwise it appears to be the same.

You can follow the link below. Here are some excerpts:

 

"..., the present volume includes a valuable and important additional feature in the form of a lecture on "The Fabian Society and its Work", delivered in Boston by Mr William Clarke, M.A., himself a Fabian and one of the essayists, in the winter of 1893-94, and afterwards published in the New England Magazine...."

"What now are the aims of the society? I quote from the official The Fabian Society programme: "The Fabian Society consists of Socialists. It therefore aims at the reorganization of society by the emancipation of land and industrial capital from individual and class ownership, and the vesting of them in the community for the general benefit. In this way only can the natural and acquired advantages of the country be equitably shared by the whole people. The society accordingly works for the extinction of private property in land, and of the consequent individual appropriation, in the form of rent, of the price paid for permission to use the earth, as well as for the advantages of superior soils and sites. The society, further, works for the transfer to the community of the administration of such industrial capital as can be managed socially. For, owing to the monopoly of the means of production in the past, industrial inventions and the transformation of surplus income into capital have mainly enriched the proprietary class, the workers being now dependent on that class for leave to earn a living." To bring this condition of things about, the programme continues, the society looks to the spread of Socialist opinions, and it seeks to promote these by the general dissemination of knowledge as to the relation between the individual and society in its economic, ethical, and political aspects." (Reread the bolded text and let that sink in)

 

"The Basis of Socialism " by George Bernard Shaw

"Economic rent, arising as it does from variations of fertility or advantages of situation, must always be held as common or social wealth, and used, as the revenues raised by taxation are now used, for public purposes, among which Socialism would make national insurance and the provision of capital matters of the first importance."

Here is the link for the Socialism Book: The Fabian Essays, The American Edition

 

I feel that understanding the Fabians will give you invaluable insight into the Progressive's and their Socialist agenda. Most of us have never contemplated socialism because we have never had to. After reading the first essay by George Bernard Shaw and imagining that creepy old man speaking those words I felt very disturbed by the prospect of what they want to turn our country into and their premise for doing so. Please share this so that others may learn what we are dealing with and mentally prepare themselves.

 

I just found an excellent book published in 1914 called "Cyclopedia of American Government" and it has a definition for "Fabian Socialist" I also found on Google Books here on page 708: Cyclopedia of American Government

This is actually an amazing description, Socialism, Opportunist, Radicals.

 

 

Another Excellent Reference from a 1908 Encyclopedia on page 460: The new encyclopedia of social reform
