Whether or not Churchill was an elitist is something I haven’t studied. I think his point was that the problem with democracy was that people don’t educate themselves before they use their right to vote. At least that’s how I see it.
By the way, enough of this moving from forum to forum. You need your own pulpit.
I see Winston Churchill was an elitist as well.
Too bad…. we need leaders with humility, not hubris.

War is just an extension of economic policy.
btw, i meant to post this one yesterday —
