| Summary | Some critics have claimed that the Fabian Society promoted eugenics as part of a hidden agenda to control the population. The society's own history acknowledges that leading members held racist views and engaged in debates on eugenics, but this was not a secret conspiracy. |
| Origin | The Fabian Society's involvement in eugenics debates dates to the early 20th century, when eugenics was a mainstream topic among intellectuals. |

| Evidence / consensus | Historical records confirm that some Fabian members, including the Webbs, were interested in eugenics, but the society as a whole did not have a unified eugenics policy. The society's own history acknowledges these views, but they were not a secret plot. |
