  1. Historical association with eugenic ideas

    Several prominent early Fabians, including Sidney and Beatrice Webb, George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells and Havelock Ellis, endorsed or discussed eugenic ideas that included coercive proposals such as sterilisation or segregation. These positions reflected a wider contemporary intellectual movement but are now regarded as discriminatory and discredited.
