The Fabian Society is a socialist association founded in London in 1883 which aims at the reorganisation of society by the emancipation of land and capital from individual and class ownership, and the vesting of them in the community for the general benefit. This result to be attained, not by any violent upheaval, but by the slow process of educating the minds of the masses (hence the name, from the famous ancient Roman, Q. Fabius Cunctator, 'slow but sure'). The society has branches in Great Britain, the colonies, and America, and has issued a number of publications. Research Fabian Society
