The Real Churchill

From Ludwig von Mises, Middle-of-the-Road Polichy Leads to Socialism, section 6 (http://www.mises.org/MIDROAD/mr6.asp):

“It is noteworthy to remember that British socialism was not an achievement of Mr. Atlee’s Labor Government, but of the war cabinet of Mr. Winston Churchill. What the Labor Party did was not the establishment of socialism in a free country, but retaining socialism as it had developed during the war and in the post-war period.”

Thus, another reason why the neocons — especially former self-described Trotskyites like Irving Kristol — love Churchill.
