Fabianism has nothing to do with Fabio... It was named after some Roman General who defeated his opponents through slow and incremental attrition... which is the Fabian's approach to implementing socialism.
They don't believe in revolution, but rather the evolution of socialism within the democratic and parliamentary system.
Most people in the CPA believe in slow and incremental attrition I think. Myself, I don't think it does much good.

No, I think we've a solid majority of revolutionaries, with a good measure of evolutionaries.
I certainly don't think slow and incrimental advances have a chance in hell of suceeding, but I'm willing to be allies during non-revolutionaries periods.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
Why bother? It's not a burning issue. Besides, no club threads.

.... because the Russian revolution and the Chinese attempts at revolution turned out really well
Of course revolution is justified if the lives of the citizens are intolerable, and the rulers are unwilling to lift them out of misery. But as things currently stand in the developed world, revolution is not only an undesirable option, it is highly improbable. In Australia, for example the socialists and communists all seem to be students... i.e. people with very little leverage over the political process. Revolutionaries are highly marginal and widely viewed as fanatics. Fabianism is an attempt to make socialism respectable, responsible and a desirable option.
.... if the revolution does come, however.... I'll be very tempted to join in.
Australian Fabians are having a hard enough time trying to wrench the political playing field back into the left half of the centre... fostering revolutionary attitudes is even harder.
But if there is room in the CPA for evolutionists... then I'll consider returning to the fold.
You've been pwned Draco
Dracon is not to be confused with Draco, from whom the word "draconian" is derived. I came up with the name when I was 13... before I knew what draconian meant, or who Draco was. I continue to use the name because that's how people know me. I did make several name changes back in the day.... "Ted Bundy's Volkswagon" was a notable one.... and when I tried to change back to Dracon I couldn't for some reason and had to add a "II".

For now this is true because capitalism is functioning, but reform is impossible for the same reason.
