Thank you for a most informative essay which has re-aligned my shallow take of the Fabian Society. However, one constant and common thread runs through it all: the desire to destroy the traits - good and bad - that make us human and to replace it with a confected ideal which only the well-educated are able to believe such a fallacy.

Interesting. I would like to know the current philosophy There are always metamorphoses to these groups.

The cliques, clans, groups concept have a 'superiority' perspective.

Very interesting. Maybe one suggestion: prompt your AI to verify the accuracy of the Milner-Fabian Conspiracy and see what it says.

Interesting and amusing. You don't mention the eugenics item that was important to the early Fabians. I recall that Tory Sir Keith Joseph as the only modern British politician who advocated it. Naturally, today it would arouse screams of Nazi Germany and the like but it seems to me a policy backed by a certain rationality...
