THE country is decomposing, as a fish rots, from its head. Our demise is a function of the ideas that permeate our institutions. These are Fabian ideas.
Half the Labour Parliamentary Party and the current cabinet are affiliated to that sinister organisation, with 140 fresh ones having been elected in July 2024.
The Fabians are a broad alliance of leftists writ large, and have been shamelessly on the wrong side of moral history since inception in 1884.
Their most powerful ideological current is Marxism.
Their worldview is ‘principles free’: the dehumanisation of man, the caste system, the destruction of the nuclear family, the betrayal of the nation and, much more fundamentally, the rejection of the Ten Commandments, or as Marx wrote in his 1843 pamphlet On the Jewish Question, the ‘groundless laws of the Jews’ from which the world ought to emancipate itself to be truly free.
Where Marx went, Starmer followed when he wrote as part of the Editorial Collective of Socialist Alternatives, a 1980s pro-Soviet Union magazine, that what was needed is ‘a new type of individualism, where the individual, instead of being repressed or constrained by society’, is freed from any moral constraints, reminiscent of Dostoevsky’s Devil in The Brothers Karamazov who tells how socialism will allow ‘every sin’ to better control humanity – like a zookeeper keeps the beast.
In that same pamphlet, Marx noted that Jews and Christians were one.
They both worship money and are egotistical hucksters, inspiring many, including an Austrian corporal whose first name was Adolf, to action further down the line.
Fabians are self-righteously sure of themselves. Their convictions are based on a past that never existed to create a future that nobody wants.
They have backed the anti-human and anti-British at every opportunity.
Among other things, and paramount, they absolved themselves from the crime of ‘treason’, as can be read in their 1902 Fabianism and the Empire pamphlet, the better to commit it, witness Chagos, Gibraltar and mass immigration.
Fabians, such as Patricia Hewitt, rubbed shoulders with paedophilic organisations such as the Paedophile Information Exchange, a group affiliated to the National Council for Civil Liberties, of which she was General Secretary, while others lobbied for the removal of the age of consent.
They turned education from self-improvement organisations into deadly indoctrination factories.
And finally, they support abortion up to birth and the assisted suicide Bill because of the Malthusian notion that humanity must be culled to save Mother Earth.
John Carey in his 1992 best seller The Intellectuals and the Masses gives a flavour of Fabian thinking. Population growth entails the recognition that ‘given the state of the planet, humans, or some humans, must now be categorised as vermin.’
Net zero and euthanasia are two cheeks of the same arse.
As Fabian general secretary Andrew Harrop stated in July 2024: ‘Our ideas [are] peppered through yesterday’s King’s Speech‘.
The minor miracle is that it is still acceptable to call yourself a Fabian. They are, after all, to the Labour Party what the Ku Klux Klan is to the Democrats; nevertheless they wear their Fabian badge of dishonour with fetishist Pride.
Broadly, they were shielded from the gallows for two reasons:
Firstly, they inadvertently found themselves on the winning side, having backed most of Europe’s many totalitarian regimes and the annihilation of various recalcitrants; secondly, from a rewriting of facts during World War II.
In 1943, Maisky, the Soviet Ambassador to London, wrote of his encounter with George Bernard Shaw, the Grand Wizard of Fabianism, who said: ‘Stalin is the most important Fabian in history . . . because Stalin took the Socialism that the Fabians only dreamed and nattered about and turned it into a reality.’
So egregious was the BBC’s deeply dishonest transformation of Stalin from a monster into ‘Uncle Joe’ that George Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning to future generations.
As an aside, Maisky reported that in late 1939, Beatrice Webb, the Grand Dame of Fabianism, noted that ‘Churchill is not a true Englishman. He has negro blood. You can tell from his appearance.’
Orwell noted in ‘The Road to Wigan Pier’ that Fabians saw little difference between Fascism and Communism. After all, Shaw supported Mussolini’s attack on Ethiopia, one of the world’s oldest Christian empires, calling for the ‘extermination of the uncivilised’.
What marks out the Fabians from other extremist groups in Europe is that by the late 19th century, violence and democracy had failed as a route to power in the United Kingdom.
The alternative was to ‘permeate’ the country’s institutions. Expertise would become their master key.This tactic had a few advantages: they could revolutionise society from their armchairs. As experts ‘their places should be permanent, their pay sufficient’ and ‘a Socialist State should not neglect the distribution of honours as incentives and rewards’, thought Sidney Webb, another of the firm’s Grand Wizards, as he contemplated a life on the King’s Penny.
Further, Parliament should be powerless, because the main hindrance to Socialism, Fabians believed, was ‘the stupidity of the working class’, the selfishness of the entrepreneurs and the patriotism of all.
All were wrong. Only they, as experts, were right.
The rulers ‘should, on the contrary, be as unrepresentative of Everyman as possible, short of being inhuman’.
The Fabians believed in the superior being, or the ‘empanelled persons’: ‘The clear-sighted intelligence that sees the world as it really is and rejects shame, whether moral, political or aesthetic; the energy and organising ability which gets things done and overcomes opposition.’
The rejection of shame and morality: the path to unconstrained power.
Expertise in government, whatever it meant in practice, was their meal ticket.
There, though, they were challenged briefly. The Education Act of 1944 saw the formalisation of grammar schools. Working-class boys started to compete and win, so Fabians killed the grammar schools.
Education Minister and Fabian Tony Crosland made it clear in 1965: ‘If it’s the last thing I do, I’m going to destroy every f*cking grammar school.’
For the sake of keeping political power, an indentured, hopeless, voting bank was needed, not proud souls waving their flags and singing their ancestral hymns.
As Hubert Bland and Sidney Webb wrote in 1889, after permeating every institution, Socialists should use every constitutional means to force the anti-socialists to ‘make their last stands’ on the barricades – the ‘last ditch of despair’.
We currently spend £353billion, 30 per cent of the government’s entire yearly spend, on 600 unaccountable quasi-governmental organisations employing up to 700,000 people – an army of effete Fabians.
It must be granted: they hold aloft their Pyrrhic prize. They have succeeded in permeating our institutions and now oversee the gangrenous body of a Britannia lying face down in the gutter, violated, unlovable, lost.
Who will rush the barricades now?
