He would prefer Skyrim, because Skyrim belongs to the Nords.

Can someone please explain the joke?

Just a bit of absurdism. Modern-day leftists often fight over the legacy of Marx, who was hugely influential; the joke here is that “IF MARX WAS HERE TODAY HE’D-” and instead of “be ‘x’ ideology” it’s “Enjoy a well-regarded classic game”

No worries! Sometimes memes seem like they might have some more subtle joke to them, but no, in this case it’s just being silly.

Calling any mention of Marx “tankie behavior” is fairly close to Nazi behavior, ngl. You need to grow an ounce of critical thinking from this experience, or you’ll turn into a loser who hangs out with fascists instead of punks.

I don’t know what a tankie is and at this point I’m afraid to ask.

A tankie is an authoritarian communist, the kind of folks who play apologist for the Soviet and Chinese regimes running over protesters with tanks. Hence the name.

I took a test once and it told me I was a filthy socialist.

It is my core belief that corporations need to be hit with big sticks regularly to keep them in check

Referencing Marx is any fashion is tankie behavior?

Just consider it a warning for everyone here, is all. Praising Marx unprompted is definitely leaning into dangerous territory.

You may need to get out more. Marx is the father of modern sociology, a debt even Max Weber acknowledged. “Marx wasn’t all bad” isn’t a hot take outside of anywhere that doesn’t hang a tattered, non-code compliant American flag from the front porch.
