Fabian is a society that was founded by George Bernard Shaw and others of his time to promote non-Marxist evolutionary socialism. The goal of Fabian was to promote simpler living and to remove the gulf between the rich and poor. They wanted to reform London's social classes so that the poor are treated better; they even lobbied for setting minimum wage in the late 1800's. One can tell that Pygmalion ties into this Fabian ideals by the way that Shaw pokes fun of society's structures.
