I owe this title to writer lee harris. last month harris posed this headliner question in a piece he wrote for Tech Central Stations Web site, TCSDaily. Harris is right to ask; socialism's track record is abysmal. The milder forms of it have yielded economic stagnation where and whenever tried: England in the 1970s; France today. The more impatient strains—"socialism in a hurry," as Lenin reputedly called communism—did nothing but plunder economies and destroy lives. Their fine leaders ordered the deaths of more than 100 million people—Lenin and Stalin (40 million), Mao (60 million) and Pol Pot (2 million), not to mention that syphilitic dictator of the German National Socialist Party, Adolf Hitler (11 million directly, another 35 million through the war he started).

机译：我欠作家李·哈里斯这个头衔。上个月，哈里斯（Harris）在他为Tech Central Stations网站TCSDaily撰写的一篇文章中提出了这个标题问题。哈里斯是正确的要求；社会主义的历史记录很糟糕。较温和的形式在任何地方和任何地方都曾造成经济停滞：1970年代的英格兰；今天的法国。列宁据称被称为共产主义的更为急躁的压力-“匆忙的社会主义”-除了掠夺经济和破坏生命外，什么都没有做。他们的高层领导下令列宁和斯大林（4000万），毛（6000万）和波尔布特（200万）超过1亿人的死亡，更不用说德国民族社会党的梅毒独裁者阿道夫·希特勒（直接赚了1100万，通过战争他又赚了3500万）。
