Comrade, we all know lead poisoning and the need for safety gear are capitalist propaganda! Now, get back in the mines! Production must increase 50% this year, and your state-appointed union representative says it can!
Capital successfully fought to put lead into American's blood and lungs for a century after it was known to be poison. To this day they're still fighting to keep it there.

He was joking, save your whataboutism for “serious” arguments
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?
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:

Didn't know Marxism = CCP.
The CCP publishes Marxist propaganda. It's not really not that complicated.
