show moreIn Wall Street and FDR, historian Anthony C Sutton described corporate socialism, as developed in the 19thth century, and distinguished it from state socialism, as follows: “[The] robber baron schema is also, under different labels, the socialist plan. The difference between a corporate state monopoly and a socialist state monopoly is essentially only the identity of the group controlling the power structure. The essence of socialism is monopoly control by the state using hired planners and academic sponges. On the other hand, Rockefeller, Morgan, and their corporate friends aimed to acquire and control their monopoly and to maximize its profits through influence in the state political apparatus; this, while it still needs hired planners and academic sponges, is a discreet and far more subtle process than outright state ownership under socialism…We call this phenomenon of corporate legal monopoly – market control acquired by using political influence – by the name of corporate socialism.”
"Socialism ceased to be an open revolution, & became a plot. Functions were to be shifted quietly unostentatiously from the representative to the official he appointed: a bureaucracy was to slip into power"
HG Wells 1907
He also stated: “Fabianism feeds on Capitalism, but excretes Communism.”
George Bernard Shaw
And again: “Our propaganda is one of permeating – we urged our members to join the Liberal & Radical Associations in their district, or, if they preferred it, the Conservative Associations - we permeated the party oganisations and pulled all the strings we could lay our hands on with the utmost adroitness and energy, and we succeeded so well that in 1888 we gained the solid advantage of a Progressive majority full of ideas that would never have come into their heads had not the Fabians put them there."
George Bernard Shaw
One Enemy Strategy "A particular social sphere must be identical with the notorious crime of society as a whole, in such wise that the emancipation of this sphere would "appear" to be the general self emancipation. In order that one class should be the class of emancipation par excellence, another class must contrariwise be the class of manifest subjugation." Karl Marx
