Issue is without recognizing the achievements and success of socialist countries, people will never advocate or believe in actual socialism and stay in capitalist realism forever
Lots of nice pushback in the comments though

Ahh thought that was going to be the Castro quote about "how's capitalism worked out for the Third World?"
It basically is, but in meme format.
