Preferred term

fabianism  

Definition

  • Fabianism has been one of the most discussed and controversial issues in political theory and practice in the later half of the nineteenth century and twentieth century. In England, the Fabian socialists, such as Sydney and Beatrice Webb, Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, G. D. H. Cole, William Clarke, and Annie Besant, realized the importance of the working class and visualized the possibilities of establishing socialism through a gradual process by increasing public ownership in industry and more representation of labor in the legislature, trade unions, and cooperatives.
