Never mind what Churchill did or didn't say (perhaps if he can be mis-interpreted - as you claim - he didn't say it clearly enough). It's the general thrust of LH's piece that I agree with: the fact that, "Society now is run as if money itself was God" and "[current society is] an alliance between extremely aggressive militarism, a greedy and ammoral big business community, and bankers who enrich themselves by what amounts to a pyramid scheme, one that has by now basically bankrupted the entire world in yet another "boom and bust" scenario."

We live in a corporate kleptocracy in which 'democratically elected' politicians slavishly support the status quo.
