You are right, but this is because you view that quote from the democratic perspective, in general mixing politics with finance this is the result, “government” per se is a group of people who controls the country. 

Same message can be used with bitcoin against fiat, but if we view things just from one side of owr own view and understanding and not knowing or having programmed minds with propaganda every day, yeah.

Also "We are the shadows that serve the light" is better quote.

Money is often seen as the root of evil and fear

In your bio you have the famous quote "People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people." from V of Vendetta.

A system like that where everyone depended on the goodwill of the government to meet their basic needs would be the exact opposite.
