The Fabian Society endeavours to rouse social compunction by making the public conscious of the evil condition of society under the present systeim This it does by the collection and publication of authentic and impartial statistical tracts, compiled, not from the works of Socialists, but from official sources. The first volume of Karl Marx’s ” Das Kapital,” which contains an immense mass of carefully verified facts concerning modern capitalistic civilisation, and practically nothing at all about Socialism, is probably the most successful propagandist work ever published.
The Fabian Society, in its endeavours to continue the work of Marx in this direction, has found that the guesses made by Socialists at the condition of the people almost invariably flatter the existing system instead of, as might be suspected, exaggerating its evils. The Fabian Society therefore concludes that in the natural philosophy of Socialism, light is a more important factor than heat.
