Britain's Fabian Society was founded in 1884 to promote non-Marxist evolutionary socialism, and later laid the foundations for the nation's Labour Party. These educational essays, adapted from a series of lectures delivered in 1889 and published the following year, serve not only as an introductory course in democratic applications of socialism but also as a primer in the history of modern British politics. Essays include. . George Bernard Shaw on the economic basis of socialism, and transitioning to social democracy . Sidney Webb on the history of socialism in England . William Clarke on the capitalist roots of socialism . Sydney Oliver on morality and socialism . Graham Wallas on property, wealth, and debt under socialism .

About the author
George Bernard Shaw
1,992 books4,125 followersGeorge Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, socialist, and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. Although his first profitable writing was music and literary criticism, in which capacity he wrote many highly articulate pieces of journalism, his main talent was for drama. Over the course of his life he wrote more than 60 plays. Nearly all his plays address prevailing social problems, but each also includes a vein of comedy that makes their stark themes more palatable. In these works Shaw examined education, marriage, religion, government, health care, and class privilege.
An ardent socialist, Shaw was angered by what he perceived to be the exploitation of the working class. He wrote many brochures and speeches for the Fabian Society. He became an accomplished orator in the furtherance of its causes, which included gaining equal rights for men and women, alleviating abuses of the working class, rescinding private ownership of productive land, and promoting healthy lifestyles. For a short time he was active in local politics, serving on the London County Council.
In 1898, Shaw married Charlotte Payne-Townshend, a fellow Fabian, whom he survived. They settled in Ayot St. Lawrence in a house now called Shaw's Corner.
He is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938). The former for his contributions to literature and the latter for his work on the film "Pygmalion" (adaptation of his play of the same name). Shaw wanted to refuse his Nobel Prize outright, as he had no desire for public honours, but he accepted it at his wife's behest. She considered it a tribute to Ireland. He did reject the monetary award, requesting it be used to finance translation of Swedish books to English.
Shaw died at Shaw's Corner, aged 94, from chronic health problems exacerbated by injuries incurred by falling.

مجموعة من المقالات و الأوراق التي قدمها جورج برنارد شو أثناء نشاطه في الجمعية الفابية ذات التوجه الاشتراكي الديموقراطي و التي أنشئت عام 1884،و بإمكانتا القول بأن هذه الجمعية جاءت كرد فعل على هزيمة كوميونة باريس و التي أدخلت الشك في صفوف الاشتراكيين الثوريين حول مسألة اقامة النظام الاشتراكي عبر ثورة البروليتاريا،و هو ما حدى بالاشتراكيين الديموقراطيين توسيع نطاق عملهم و جذب الخلايا الاشتراكية لجانب مشروعهم الذي أخذ يبتعد أكثر فأكثر عن الأطروحة الماركسية و التي قدم لها برنارد شو نقدا هاما في هذه المقالات مثلما قدم نقدما آخر هاما للأناركية.
يعرض برناردشو في هذه المقالات النهج البريطاني الفابي للاشتراكية الديموقراطية محاولا عرضها كمثال نموذجي لقيادة الوعي الاشتراكي الديموقراطي،عبر عرض تفصيلي لمبادىء الاقتصاد السياسي الذي تتخذه الجمعية و تقدمه كدستور للنمط الاشتراكي الديموقراطي.
على الرغم من اندماج قادة الجمعية في حزب العمال و شبه تلاشيها فعليا من الواقع السياسي البريطاني،إلا أن الجمعية شكلت منعطفا هاما في التاريخ الاشتراكي البريطاني،مثلما ساهمت قياداتها في قيادة بريطانيا ما بعد الحرب بالتحديد،بغض النظر عن الانحراف الهائل الذي جرف حزب العمال بعيدا عن اشتراكية الجمعية الفابية صوب نزعة أكثر ليبرالية اليوم!

June 15, 2016لم يكن لدي اي معلومة عن الاشتراكية الفابية الى ان استعرت هذا الكتاب من المكتبة , ملخص الموضوع ان الاشتراكية لها طريقان , اما فرض نفسها بالعنف كما حصل في روسيا واما عن طريق السلم واستغلال الديموقراطية ووسائلها والقانون والانتخابات وتثقيف الجمهور . كلتا الطريقتان تريد الاشتراكية ولكن الطرق مختلفة تماما. كتاب انصح به للاشخاص الذين ليس لديهم اي فكرة عن الاشتراكية الفابية وتطبيقاتها.
