“Democratic Socialists invariably enlarge state power...to regard a dreamy socialism as beneficial and humane, is to ignore dozens of historical examples. The record of existing socialisms is plain, and so is the prognosis of future socialisms. Whatever the high intentions of its partisans, the structures they build by their actions promise to increase poverty and to legitimate tyranny.”
