I liked her (Beatrice Webb) because she was a warm and kind friend to those for whom she had a personal affection, but I disagreed with her about religion, about imperialism, and about the worship of the State. This last was of the essence of Fabianism. It led both the Webbs and also Shaw into what I thought all undue tolerance of Mussolini and Hitler, and ultimately into a rather absurd adulation of the Soviet Government.
