the not-so-new new world order - liberal fascism
fabians and fascism
“Besides H. G. Wells, Fabian
Society members included, e.g., George Bernard Shaw,
Annie Besant, Graham Wallas, Hubert Bland, Edith Nesbit,
Sydney Olivier, Oliver Lodge, Bertrand Russell, Leonard
Woolf and Virginia Woolf, Ramsay MacDonald and Emmeline
Pankhurst. More recent Fabian Society members include,
e.g., Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Tony Wright, Tony Crosland,
Richard Titmuss, Peter Townsend, Brian Abel-Smith and
Tony Benn.” [Quoted from anti-state.com]
“When the struggle seems to be drifting definitely
towards a world social democracy, there may still be
very great delays and disappointments before it becomes
an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless
people - will hate the new world order - and will die
protesting it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise,
we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation
or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and
graceful-looking people.”
[H.G.Wells, Fabian Socialist.]
“Under Socialism you would not be allowed to
be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged,
taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If
it were discovered that you had not the character and
industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might
possibly be executed in a kindly manner. . . .”
[Fabian Socialist George Bernard Shaw in his Intelligent
Woman’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism
1928.] [Quoted from centurean2.wordpress.com]
“Since that first publication we have all got
forward surprisingly. Events have hustled thought along
and have been hustled along by thought. The idea of
reorganizing the affairs of the world on quite a big
scale, which was "Utopian," and so forth,
in 1926 and 1927, and still "bold" in 1928,
has now spread about the world until nearly everybody
has it. It has broken out all over the place, thanks
largely to the mental stimulation of the Russian Five
Year Plan. Hundreds of thousands of people everywhere
are now thinking upon the lines foreshadowed by my Open
Conspiracy, not because they had ever heard of the book
or phrase, but because that was the way thought was
going.” [H.G.Wells] [Quoted from mega.nu]
“Readers will learn that the very term "liberal
fascism" came from the pen of H.G. Wells, the famed
socialist author who delivered a speech at Oxford University
in 1932 that included hosannas to both Stalin's Russia
and Hitler's Germany. "I am asking," Wells
told the students, "for a Liberal Fascisti, for
enlightened Nazis." Democracy, he argued, had to
be replaced with new forms of government that would
save mankind, producing a "'Phoenix Rebirth' of
liberalism" that would be called "Liberal
Fascism." Like the activism, experimentation, and
discipline that made the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany
new dynamic societies, the West too could reach such
a plateau by adopting the new soft fascism that suited
it best.” [Quoted from eddriscoll.com]

- The Fabian Society
was founded in 1884 in London as an offshoot of a society
founded in 1883 called The Fellowship of the New Life.
The Fabian Society founded the London School of Economics
in 1895. In 1900, the Fabian Society was one of the
organizations which formed the Labour Representation
Committee, which became the Labour Party in 1906. [Quoted
