      They are not joking. You can see them continuing here: https://lemm.ee/comment/3563759

      And this isn’t whataboutism (not that it matters). The first commenter ridiculed socialism by using a hypothetical scenario. The second commenter showed with evidence this hypothetical scenario is actually real under capitalism.

        When a liberal loses an argument they yell “whataboutism” it’s their little white flag

          Marxism is so easy to destroy, but the reality is that modern day Marxism literally cannot exist without fallacies and propaganda. The ideology is so shallow that it can’t stand on its own merits.

            Are you rich? Because if not, you are not only awful but an idiot as well.

              Lol Marxists calling anybody an idiot is peak irony. You’re subhuman trash. You’re just as bad, if not worse than nazis. You’re just as hateful, violent, ignorant, extreme, and irrational as nazis. You’re ideology is just as failed, just as murderous, and just as delusional. The scum of the Earth trying claim moral superiority is comical.

                You definitely sound like a sane individual. I didn't even propose anything lol. How is it wrong to think greedy people should be kept down for the benefit of society?

                  And you sound like an idiot. Marxism isn't anti-greed, it's not pro-poor, and it's doesn't benefit anybody. It's a failed ideology in both theory and practice. If you weren't so mind numbingly ignorant, you would've at least learned some basic history to grasp just how much a failure Marxism is. From the millions of deaths that it has caused, to the all the societal collapses that tried to attempt it, to the cultures that it destroyed, to the tens of millions that were oppressed by it. You're in the same level as trash as nazis. There's nothing you could say to weasel you're way out of how vile this ideology is.

                    You are actually brainwashed, I don't know what to tell you. You act like capitalism hasn't led to worse things or the exact same ones, even though it has on a larger scale. The US alone has done worse things in the last 50 years than your 'Marxism' ever did. Mostly inspired by greed.

            Where do you see the propaganda coming from? What entity do you imagine is funding this propaganda?
