Fabian Socialism
Seeks socialist change through research, public administration, and gradual democratic reform rather than an immediate revolutionary break. Public provision and institutional redesign are practical instruments of change.
Foundational doctrines
- Gradual reform
- Public provision

Disagreement and variation
Critics challenge reliance on expert administration and ask whether gradual reforms can transform ownership and power or merely stabilize existing arrangements. Administrative expertise can create tension with participatory democracy; historical Fabians held diverse and sometimes objectionable social views.
