This is a weird take. Just because someone is (or has been) successful he can't speak about or for socialism?

You can't be successful and a socialist? Is that it? That's a very narrow and simply wrong view which has resulted in a lot of damage in societies which adopted it.

Socialism needs succes stories. Otherwise, what's the point? Mediocrity for all? That will never fly or become popular.
