Societies have always been dominated by their elites via a strategy of divide & rule, & although they pretend to be, Western "democracies" are no different. It is just more subtle than in earlier times & in non-democratic countries.

I agree with him, but while he saw it as a reason for maintaining the status quo, I do not.

Churchill wanted to maintain the status quo because it served him personally extremely well, as it does many others.

We have a simple choice between making British society more just, humane & - above all - sustainable, or leaving it to a ruthless Mother Nature to take her own course, which is what we are doing at the moment.
Our political elite thinks - & wants the rest of us to believe - that they are in control, but they are not. They are deluding themselves.
They don't understand themselves, nor the society they presume to be leading, because failed at university by #SocialScienceAcademia.
