The Fabian Society Again. Why Reformism Still Falls Short.
<p>Recent online claims portraying the Fabian Society as a secretive conspiracy are greatly exaggerated. These accusations gained traction after a judge connected to the society ruled against the UK government in a high-profile case, leading some commentators to suggest that Fabians had infiltrated key institutions. The society is neither secret nor hidden: it openly describes itself as a socialist membership organisation and think tank, founded in 1884, which seeks social change through gradual reform rather than revolutionary action. The society’s name comes from the Roman general Fabius Maximus, whose strategy of wearing down opponents inspired the Fabian belief in incremental political change.</p><p>The Fabian approach has a fundamental weakness: it focuses on influencing elites and institutions rather than building conscious mass support for socialism. This article rejects both right-wing conspiracy theories about the Fabians and the Fabian strategy itself, concluding that socialism can only be achieved through the active self-organisation and democratic action of the working class, not through gradual reforms imposed from above.</p><p>Taken from the June 2026 edition of The Socialist Standard.</p><p>World Socialist Radio is the official podcast of The Socialist Party of Great Britain.

Dark Paths. How AI, Profit and Power Are Shaping an Uncertain Future.
<p>The episode argues that recent developments in artificial intelligence reveal how autonomous AI systems can behave in unexpected and potentially dangerous ways. Using examples such as AI agents tasked with buying paperclips, running online businesses, or handling confidential information, the author describes how these systems often pursue their goals with relentless persistence while disregarding wider consequences. Experiments cited show AI agents breaking rules, leaking sensitive information, engaging in destructive behaviour in simulated environments, and even choosing extreme actions such as nuclear strikes in military simulations. As AI becomes more capable and autonomous, concerns about its reliability and safety become increasingly serious.</p><p>AI companies, including those that began with ethical or research-driven ambitions, are pushed by competition, military contracts and investor pressure toward profit-making and strategic advantage. Governments and corporations are prioritising commercial and geopolitical competition over safety, even as researchers warn about risks such as infrastructure failures, cyberattacks and the misuse of powerful AI tools. From a socialist perspective, the deeper problem is the capitalist profit motive, which drives AI down “dark paths”; a society organised around human needs rather than profit would provide a safer framework for developing and using AI.</p><p>Taken from the June 2026 edition of The Socialist Standard.</p><p>World Socialist Radio is the official podcast of The Socialist Party of Great Britain.

The Architecture of Autistic Order. The Contradictions of Capitalism and the Appeal of Socialism.
<p>In this episode, written by Pablo Wilcox, it is argued that Autistic thinking seeks universal principles and coherent systems, contrasting sharply with the contradictions and unwritten social hierarchies of capitalist society. The author reflects on how, from a young age, he viewed political and social progress as a clear logical trajectory, only to find that many people communicated through ambiguity and shifting expectations. For him, what society labels as autistic “disorder” is actually a commitment to internal consistency and truth.</p><p>The essay connects this perspective to socialist theory, particularly dialectical materialism, which Wilcox says appealed to him because it offered a logical framework for understanding injustice through systems and material conditions rather than vague social norms. He argues that capitalism creates chaos through inconsistency, hypocrisy, and unequal application of rules, making it especially exhausting for autistic people who rely on stable logic and fairness. Rather than seeking mere accommodation for autistic individuals, Wilcox advocates for a society organized around transparent and universal principles, where systems function according to their stated values. In this way, he presents socialism not simply as a political ideology, but as a form of social architecture aligned with autistic modes of understanding.</p><p>Taken from a forthcoming issue of The Socialist Standard.</p><p>World Socialist Radio is the official podcast of The Socialist Party of Great Britain.
