SOCIALISM BURIED BY BERNARD SHAW
High Priest of Fabianism Pronounces Eloquent
Funeral Oration
JESTS AS SOVIET
Insists That Nothing Now Left But Communism or
Capitalism
TOPICS: Foreign Affairs; United Kingdom
KEYWORDS: british; communism; conspiracy; england; fabianism; fabiansociety; georgebernardshaw; greatbritain; isles; socialism; unitedkingdom
Here's an old newsclip that I found in an old book.
Once I took a course in Political Science, at the first
college that I attended. It was more like a brain-
washing session for socialist indoctrination. Any-
way, the instructor at one point tried to explain
why Britains economy was faltering for years, and
only by joining the EU, was it rescued from oblivion.
A likely story. Britains demise has more to do with the
behind-the-scenes rule by the Fabian Society than
anything else. For an in-depth account of the Fab-
ian society, read "How The Fabians Crippled Great
Britain" by Allen Stang in "American Opinion," Vol.
22(3), p.5 (March, 1979).

After his visit to the USSR (at the hight of Stalin's forced starvation of the
Kulaks), Shaw wrote that the USSR was the county of the future, and that rumours of famine were pure invention.
Edvard Radzinsky, in his biography of Stalin writes: "No one knows for sure how many people famine carried off. Estimates vary between five and eight million."
Shaw should have confined himself to playwrighting, and playwrighting for its own sake. He may be the earliest example of a liberal "artist" getting involved in utopian bullshit and trying to convince the masses that they should follow his lead. Many of his plays are unreadable due to their heavyhanded Fabian and Nietschean slant.

I didn't care much for him as a newsreader at CNN either.

"We cannot afford to give ourselves moral airs when our most enterprising neighbour... humanely and judiciously liquidates a handful of exploiters and speculators to make the world safe for honest men."
