Today we hear a great deal about Progressives in America but fully understanding Progressivism begins through the exploration of its roots and those roots begin in The Fabian Society.  The Fabian Society began in England in 1887 by a relatively small group of intellectual elitists who embraced Marxist Socialism forced upon a society through slow gradual and incremental steps. 

The logo is a symbol of the Fabian Society. One should immediately questions why an organization would consider using a shield that pictures a wolf in sheep’s clothing as an image to promote their beliefs and the answer should be an obvious one.  It is the arrogance of the intellectual elite.  More importantly though should be the question “If they are the wolf, who are the sheep?”

The gradual transition to a Marxist Socialist regime is also represented in another image popular with Fabian Socialists.

The Fabian’s gave this gradual change a policy directive. They called it:

“The Doctrine of Inevability of Gradulaism”

This doctrine established that “without breach of continuity or abrupt change of the entire social issue,” by infiltrating educational institutions, government agencies, and political parties. Prominent Fabian and writer, George Bernard Shaw, revealed that their goal was to be achieved by “stealth, intrigue, subversion, and the deception of never calling socialism by its right name.”

George Bernard Shaw was a beloved satirist in England who is still noted for his wit and in educational circles, some of that wit is carefully concealed although Shaw himself never concealed his intent.

“I don’t want to punish anybody, but there are an extraordinary number of people who I might want to kill…I think it would be a good thing to make everybody come before a properly appointed board just as he might come before the income tax commissioner and say every 5 years or every 7 years…just put them there and say , ‘Sir or madam will you be kind enough to justify your existence…if you’re not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little bit more then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive. Because your life does not benefit us and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.’" - George Bernard Shaw

This is the core of Eugenics, or the philosophy of  applied science or the bio-social movement which advocates the use of practices aimed at improving the genetic composition of a population, usually referring to human populations.

Shaw also said “A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber.  A great many people would simply have to be put out of existence simply because its wastes other peoples time to look at them”

Shaw is calling for the program implemented by Germany to purge its society of those the government deemed drains upon their society.  Shaw’s principles put into action gave birth to the gas chambers in Nazi Germany.

One principle the Fabians fully grasped was that to fundamentally transform Society it would be necessary to move that Society towards a Welfare State.  In order to accomplish this they understood that they had to change the dialogue to focus on the weaknesses in human nature in order to gain sympathy and popularity for this cause.  If they could manipulate societies, preying upon poor to use them to advance their causes, while at the same time preying upon the human nature by making them feel guilty and responsible for the condition of the poor they could accomplish the second phase of their goals.

The second phase is to replace Free Market Capitalism with State Capitalism.  They believed that State should control aspects of business such as electric power production, transportation, precious metals and of course, credit. The remaining balance of economic systems would be left to the private sector however; it, in their thinking, must be highly regulated by the State and operated according to the wishes of the State.

There is nothing tolerant about the Fabian Socialist, they are and were statists.  The long term goal was to delude the populace into believe that Democracy and Socialism were compatible while pushing towards a Socialistic Dictatorship through a legalistic view of morality where the individual is simply a part of a greater collective.  No individual has any worth except the worth that individual provides to the collective.  If the collective does not benefit from the individual than that individual has absolutely no worth.

It is obvious that Adolph Hitler yields what happens when this model is put in to practical purpose.  The only difference between the Fabian Society and Hitler was that they believed he moved to fast for society to accept their goals.

The philosophy was embraced by intellectual elitists in America.  Knowing that Socialist meant Communist in the average American mind and Communism was a known enemy of American Values, they could not identify themselves as being openly Socialist so they called themselves something different.  They used the word Progressive.

It was essential that, in order to establish global dominance through a world dictatorship, the principle of American Exceptionalism must fail.  In less than 100 years America had gone from being an upstart new Government to the leader of the principles of freedom and individual liberties and that this had given birth to an entrepreneurial spirit that had made the American dollar the standard of measurement for the value of world currency.

To the pure Socialist, this is unthinkable and unacceptable. This does not exemplify their collective will.  The free-market ideology must be forced to collapse.  If society was to be purged from the undesirables, a system had to come into place that would replace the free market individualism to remove competition from the largest corporation while at the same time regulating those large corporations to comply with a word governance ideology.  They could not have competition; they must regulate to create the level playing field.

In order to accomplish this the conversion of America from the viewpoint of free market Capitalism to State Capitalism, something had to be done to collapse American economy from a market that could function prosperously without Government interference into a country that would become dependent upon the government in order to maintain its power that would be equally beneficial to both the Corporate power structure and the Government.

At the same time, the Government needed to replace the spirit of entrepreneurialism of the individual with a Welfare State of dependency.  This would call for a dramatic shift of the paradigm within the realm of the intellectually elite in this country.  In the most daring strategy of the Fabian Progressive movement, the spirit of Charity through moral conviction of the individual had to be replaced with the mandated theft of monies to create a dependent society in what Hayak referred to as the Road to Serfdom.

The wolf needed to identify the flock that it was going to feed upon in order to accomplish that aim and this task fell upon Margaret Sanger.

Margaret Sanger, the mother/founder of Planned Parenthood who has successfully deceived the masses into embracing them as holding compassion for the poor, made her intentions clear but few then and now listened to her intent.  Modern Progressives seek to hide what Sanger said in public because in this politically correct world, the real heart and spirit of her words betray the aims and goals of the image Planned Parenthood had fabricated for themselves.   Consider these three quotes from Sanger.

“Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying … demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism … [Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant … We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.”

“Eugenics is … the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems”

“The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”

To implement this Eugenic Control of Society, the wolf recognized the sheep it needed to devour.  Again, quoting from Margaret Sanger:

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Sanger’s ideology was radical for its time and the fact that so many of her supporters choose to ignore these statements from her demonstrates that her direct attempts at the Eugenic destruction of the black race and those that were identified as the social morons and dredges of society by the intellectually elite was never realized.  That is not to say it was not tried.  Through Sanger’s progressive ideology several states adopted a forced sterilization program that resulted in in the sterilization of an estimated 60,000 Americans.

The concept of the turtle moving slowly replaced Sanger’s radical Hitleresque destruction of classes that was deemed non-productive towards meeting the Fabian ends.

In order to replace entrepreneurialism the first step had to be to find a way to remove the competition of the free market system by replacing it with a governmentally controlled economic standard.  Enter the Federal Reserve.

While the excuse of a depression was its impetus, the goal of its establishment is evidenced in its results.  The Federal Reserve could now control and regulate Wall Street through economic manipulations in implementation of interest rates, securities and bonds.   The Authority of the Federal Reserve, while supposedly separate from the powers of Congress, falls under an appointed office through the Presidency effectively now giving the President some control over market fluctuations and pricing.

A new way of manipulating the market had to be developed and this fell to a man named John Maynard Keynes

Keynes stated “Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth. Those to whom the system brings windfalls, beyond their deserts and even beyond their expectations or desires, become ‘profiteers,’ who are the object of the hatred of the bourgeoisie, whom the inflationism has impoverished, not less than of the proletariat. As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless; and the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery.”

This new philosophy of economics is now referred to as Keynesian and is the only method of economics that the liberal progressives embrace in spite of its continual and historic evidence of complete failures.

The economic manipulations of the Federal Reserve were not enough though.  The President’s powers had to be extended to other institutions and this was realized through FDR’s New Deal.  The New Deal was the brainchild of a man named Stuart Chase. Stuart Chase was a member of the Fabian Society at Harvard University.

He laid out the basis of the New Deal.  The New Deal would empower the President through newly created agencies run by appointed positions to manipulate the government’s regulations of the business world effectively choosing which companies would fail and which would succeed through fees, duties and regulations.

The New Deal was only Stuarts short term goals.  The long term goals were established in 1942 through a book he wrote entitled “The Road We Are Traveling”.  In it he laid out the Fabian/Progressive plan for the future of America:

• A strong, centralized government.
• An executive arm growing at the expense of the legislative and judicial arms.
• The control of banking, credit and security exchanges by the government.
• The underwriting of employment by the government, either through armaments or public works.
• The underwriting of social security by the government – old-age pensions, mothers’ pensions, unemployment insurance, and the like.
• The underwriting of food, housing, and medical care, by the government.
• The use of deficit spending to finance these underwritings.
• The abandonment of gold in favor of managed currencies.
• The control of foreign trade by the government.
• The control of natural resources.
• The control of energy sources.
• The control of transportation.
• The control of agricultural production.
• The control of labor organizations.
• The enlistment of young men and women in youth corps devoted to health, discipline, community service and ideologies consistent with those of the authorities.
• Heavy taxation, with special emphasis on the estates and incomes of the rich.
• Control of industry without ownership.
• State control of communications and propaganda.

Perhaps the most egregious part of this movement has been the way in which the government has become the Fabian Society in its deluding the poor into believing they are the Savior of the poor while the plan all along has been the fattening of the sheep to prepare society to accept their annihilation so openly embraced by the likes of Shaw, Sanger and others in the foundation of the Progressive movement.

We are on the precipice.  Have you ever believed that the government needs to step in and do something about the reckless morality of many in our society who bear more children than they can support?  Isn’t this exactly one of the excuses used by Progressives embracing Pro-Choice position to justify the wholesale slaughter of the most innocent among us?

As we watch the downward spiraling of our economy, would we justify purging those who contribute less or nothing by our estimation in order to preserve our own existence?

This has been the trail of the Fabian turtle in its slow path towards The Doctrine of Inevability of Gradulaism. The journey of this turtle does not end with the surrender of moral values and replacing them with Fabian intellectualism in America.  The turtles journey ends when this is the rule for the world and this can only be accomplished by the fundamental transformation of America.

The most dangerous things to human sanctity is that Progressives believe this is compassion.  Their understanding about compassion is vastly different from our own but to help us all understand how they define compassion consider this quote in 2010 for progressive author and commentator Virginia Ironside

“If a baby’s going to be born severely disabled or totally unwanted, surely an abortion is the act of a loving mother. If I were the mother of a suffering child – I mean a deeply suffering child – I would be the first to want to put a pillow over its face…My feeling of horror at suffering is much greater than getting rid of a couple of cells. If it was a child I really loved, who was in agony, I think any good mother would.”

That, my friends is Progressive compassion.  “My Feeling of horror at suffering is much greater than getting rid of a couple of cells.”
