    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.

            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.

                    How many times do I have to tell you that you’re an idiot before it sets in? Not only has capitalism NOT led to worse things, it has been proven time and time again to improve things. You actually seem brain damaged enough to think that Marxism and capitalism are even comparable which cases your ignorance on both. Capitalism is an economic system, Marxism is an ideology. If you compared socialism to capitalism then you would’ve still been wrong, but at least the comparison is valid. Marxist regimes are an unparalleled evil. Marxism rose and fell in one century, yet in such a short period of time the amount of people they killed, the oppression they enforced, they destruction they committed, and the failure of it all is second to none. It truly is a dark stain on human history.

                    But considering how you’re an idiot, it won’t sink in. You are so brainwashed that you don’t even realize that your shitty ideology can’t even stand on its own merits. You very desperately need Marxist propaganda and lies about capitalism and the US to even have a chance at clinging to your false narratives. If you had to defend Marxism by its own merits, you wouldn’t succeed.

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