Rebekah Sutherland - The Fabian Highway Rebekah E. Sutherland M.Ed. Since the beginning of time, there have been individuals who wanted to rule the world. For example, the Egyptian pharaohs, Alexander the Great, Caesar of Rome, the British monarchy, etc.
Control is the issue and power is the name of the game for many wealthy leaders.
Therefore, it is not surprising that another group of men organized around this endeavor in 1883. The same year Karl Marx died, some British intellectuals formed a new social order called the London Fabian Society. The name was coined to honor the Roman general, Quintus Fabius Maximus, who defeated his enemies by wearing them down gradually. The Fabians believe in the communist ideology, but added a few twists to it. The Fabians committed themselves to gradualism, reformism, utilitarianism, evolutionism, Marxism, socialism and liberalism.
