The Fabian Society

[wayneL]

I was blown away that someone on here questioned their existence.

Well they are not some shadowy secret society like say, the Bildeberger group, they are an organization that has sought to influence politics for a very long time. Their public front seems innocuous enough, but are putatively far more sinister.

Well that would be me.

They seem like a pressure group/think tank like many others that exist.
They brag on the website that Gough Whitlam listened to them. Some things Gough did were good but others were disastrous so it isn't that great a brag.

I do love their cartoon on the latest publication - so they don't seem too bad.

Its a free country. Everyone is allowed to influence our politicians, even Rupert. Why are they so bad? Is it because they are smarter than the average lefty and have a better plan of attack?

I don't get why you find them sinister.

Read that part of the sentence again - "...but are putatively far more sinister."

Look up the meaning of putative if necessary - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/putative

What I think is meaningless in the broader context, the truth is more important.

We shall see about that in time won't we.

Well why them.

What about the Evatt Foundation. It appears to have many influential members from the left. Surely this has at least as much sway in Oz.

We are speaking of a global organisation, not a pissant gaggle of local leftist upstarts.

I heard they invented a tax for global domination
