It's one of a bunch of clear markers of the collapse of what we used to call western culture. (David Paulides did a whole video about this yesterday, all about #how to #destroy a #nation — referring to the US. One of the markers was moral weakness and decay, combined with loss of integrity and humanity in every area of so-called 'authority'.)

Something like this?

Four Fabians, Beatrice and Sidney Webb, Graham Wallas, and George Bernard Shaw, founded the London School of Economics with the money left to the Fabian Society by Henry Hutchinson.

Formed out of a prior club, because:

Some members also wanted to become politically involved to aid society's transformation; they set up a separate society, the Fabian Society.

And this seems completely correct:

Bertrand Russell briefly became a member, but resigned after he expressed his belief that the Society's principle of entente (in this case, between countries allying themselves against Germany) could lead to war.

A few responses:

Although H. G. Wells was a member of the #Fabian #Society from 1903 to 1908, he was a critic of its operations, particularly in his 1905 paper "The Faults of the Fabian", in which he claimed the Society was a middle-class talking shop. He later parodied the society in his 1910 novel The New Machiavelli.

During the First World War, Vladimir Lenin wrote that the Fabians were "social-chauvinists", "undoubtedly the most consummate expression of opportunism and of Liberal-Labour policy". Drawing from Friedrich Engels, Lenin declared the Fabians were "a gang of bourgeois rogues who would demoralise the workers, influence them in a counter-revolutionary spirit".

In the 1920s, Leon Trotsky critiqued the Fabian Society as provincial, boring and unnecessary, particularly to the working class. He wrote that their published works "serve merely to explain to the Fabians themselves why Fabianism exists in the world".

I am not sure they have done much "in their name", but, the LSE is slightly older than the U. S. Federal Reserve, the implications are obvious. And it seems to me that these "monetary tools" cause that same decay to those who are trampled by it. It seems more and more there are "parts missing" from everyone around me. I am of the view that "intelligence", i. e. primarily CIA, has this mission which is more or less by request from the British side. This kind of Capitalism is like a disease which is by no means necessary.
