Thesis: Marx would have been pleased to be offered a Labubu because of his favourite maxim being "Nothing human is alien to me", and thus would have been intensely facinated by this strange garden-elf statuette. curious-marx

Antithesis: Marx would get annoyed at the Labubu because of his favourite motto being "Doubt everything", and go on a rant about cuteness culture being a form of commodity fetishism/false consciousness/etc. obscuring the human suffering necessary for mass production of meaningless baubles. marx-angry

Synthesis: Marx would thank the person offering him the Labubu, and later give it to Jenny to sell at the pawnshop, so that he can buy back his pants. marx-doomer
