Fabian Society
SUMMARY
Gradualist socialists whose coat of arms was, famously, a wolf in sheep's clothing. They founded a school to be sure.
FULL DOSSIER
The Fabian Society (founded 1884) is documented and self-describing: gradualist socialism through permeation of institutions — its Webb founders built the LSE and drafted Labour's constitution. The famous stained-glass window (wolf in sheep's clothing crest, figures hammering the world 'nearer to the heart's desire') is real, designed by Shaw's circle, now displayed at LSE. The node exists because the society's own iconography and stated method ('the inevitability of gradualness') supply the conspiracy literature's favorite exhibit: a group announcing infiltration as strategy, in glass.
