About

Karl Marx Labubu refers to memes and jokes about the communist thinker and philosopher Karl Marx and the viral Chinese Labubu collectible toys. Labubus became a viral meme and high-value collectible over the summer of 2025, prompting internet users to joke about what Karl Marx's reaction to things like the Labubu Matcha Dubai Chocolate trends would be, given his famous critiques of capitalism and consumerism. In late June 2025, TikToker @natbritt0 posted a video showing her leaving a Labubu doll amongst the various trinkets placed on Karl Marx's grave in England's Highgate Cemetery. In July 2025, TikToker @unequivocallyso posted a 24 Karat Gold La Bew Bew parody, showing off a DIY Karl Marx Labubu. In late July 2025, memes about Labubus being left on Karl Marx's grave and tomb continued to spread online.
