"Under Socialism, you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live, you would have to live well."
From Shaw's "The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism (1928);"
Quoted in G. Edward Griffin's "The Creature from Jekyll Island (1994)." From this latter also:
"The Fabian Society
The Fabians originally were an elite group of intellectuals who formed a semi-secret society for the purpose of bringing socialism to the world. Whereas Communists wanted to establish socialism quickly through violence and revolution, the Fabians preferred to do it slowly through propaganda and legislation. The word socialism was not to be emphasized. Instead, they would speak of benefits for the people such as welfare, medical care, higher wages, and better working conditions.....The three most prominent leaders in the early days were Sidney and Beatrice Webb and George Bernard Shaw."
George Bernard Shaw, Fabian Socialist:

Spot-on, James! the Webb's invented "Fabian Socialism", and Shaw and H. G. Wells were prominent members.
Glenn Beck showed this very short Shaw video years ago, although it did not have a foreign language at the bottom. Nobel Prize winner my behind -

George Bernard Shaw - the epitome of the sanctimonious, supercilious so-called "intellectual" Marxist know-it-alls.
Indeed.
