In 1942, Stuart Chase, in his book “The Road We Are Traveling” spelled out the system of planning the Fabians had in mind.

1. Strong, centralized government.

2. Powerful Executive at the expense of Congress and the Judicial.

3. Government controlled banking, credit and securities exchange.

4. Government control over employment.

5. Unemployment insurance, old age pensions.

6. Universal medical care, food and housing programs.

7. Access to unlimited government borrowing.

8. A government managed monetary system.

9. Government control over all foreign trade.

10. Government control over natural energy sources, transportation and agricultural production.

11. Government regulation of labor.

12. Youth camps devoted to health discipline, community service and ideological teaching consistent with those of the authorities.

13. Heavy progressive taxation and hidden taxes on nations wealth.

The Fabian Socialist Revolution began in earnest in 1933 with the imposition of the Welfare State and has been steadily progressing since.

There's one very amusing caveat to this rule with the kids: adherence.

Kids today are so enmeshed in their social media, self-aggrandizing media websites, cable TV, and video games that trying to get kids on board with any sort of "health discipline," which usually involves sweating, any sort of community service, or any sort of ideological teaching is going to be VERY difficult.

The Fabians, the progressives, and the Alinskyites wrote their manifestos during a time when newspapers ruled the roost. These days, kids are so interconnected and lazy that many of their formerly-workable solutions are falling completely flat because kids are fickle.

This is the fundamental problem with liberalism: they don't think like adults or for adults. When they try to draw in the kids, they're working with very unreliable portions of the populace.

I would suggest that the fabian movement was already well entrenched in America before 1933 and had already been the primary mover behind the creation of government run child indoctrination centers "public education", not to mention the financing the communist takeover in Russia.

We will need to roll back their abuses using the same method of incrementalism.

Stuart Chase went to Russia in 1927 and became in love with their central planning. That is why he wrote his book.

Russian Central Planning worked out so well didn’t it? The Chicoms are doing the same but introduced capitalism. The Russians are now following suit.

o’stoner and gang are following an old failed model and killing what was once the greatest economy in the world.
