    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

        I have formulated this little definition for a couple years now.

        Whataboutism claims are a good sign of pseudo intellectuals dog whistling to attract mob attention, usually a last resort card played by people when they never have good discussion or argument skills.

        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.

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

            I don’t need to imagine, it’s well known where this type of propaganda is coming from:
