I've read the essay, and I know the context of the quote you're refering to...he was saying that the trade centre workers were, through their labour, assisting and perpetuating the world's inequalies. Even though their intents weren't malicious, being just your typical thoughtless people doing what pays the bills, they were complicit cogs in the despotic machine. "Little Eichmanns", he called them.

In the post-9/11 hysteria everyone blacklisted Churchill because no one would acknowledge that their nation's foreign policy was responsible for the tragedy.
