      I’m sure they know, it makes sense. They thought Marx and Engels were writing a bit of satire, or at least hoped.

      I mean this in three sense that it makes sense as a joke a dumb shit liberal who’s not read a word of political or economic theory would make. It’s the comedian’s trick, telling a bs story that even if the audience knows it’s bs doesn’t detract from the joke. Fitting too, since much like most reactionary western comics, they’re both illiterate and unfunny.
