You remember him, no? He's one of yours.
The problem is that the US is not capitalist anymore. It is now corporatist. Big difference, but still better than the alternative.

I saw Sir Winston when I was young, he was the MP for the area where my aunt lived.
And I remember Maggie Thatcher saying "Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money."
(often quoted as ‘the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money’)
All systems have their Achilles Heel.
