I guess, but does anyone in 2024 think about anything other than the Verhoeven movie when talking about Starship Troopers? The original tweet has a screen cap of that movie that is making fun of people like Auron.
My point is that the action figures propagate the idea that the first film should be taken sincerely and that a franchise with works outside the first film exists. Obviously, people selling Capital on Amazon aren't going to make people read Capital as an ironic work.

At the end of the day, the satirized characters all have action figures that are sold in toy stores. Who's the actual butt of the joke?
Okay and you can buy Capital on Amazon. I bet I can get a Karl Marx bobblehead somewhere
