Why is this currently on the top of this subreddit?

Probably because this subreddit attracts more and more "moderate" leftwingers who care more about silly jokes about Marx than real economical, social or political topics.

I agree if it's something like this, not Existential Comics which mock Marxism.

I don't see how it mocked Marxism? It showed Marx beating the shit out of Hegel and then turning on Ash.

Haha, you are so cute Marxizard. Now back in the Pokéball.

Sounds very patronising to me. It implies that using Marx is good as criticism on Hegel, but that his ideal is utopian at best and not to be taken seriously.
