Details
The Farian society was founded by Beatrice and Sidney Webb, George Bernard Shaw and HG Wells as a society to promote non-Marxist, evolutionary socialism. Fabian Societies were first formed in Melbourne in 1885 by Henry Hyde Champion and in Adelaide in 1891 by Rev. C.L. Marson.
Fabianism remains an influence in the modern labour movement.
