Baba Yaga
| “ |
The bourgeois sees in his wife a mere instrument of production. He hears that the instruments of production are to be exploited in common, and, naturally, can come to no other conclusion than that the lot of being common to all will likewise fall to the women. |

Real life
Baba Yaga is a character in Das Pacito AMV Warriors, originating from Slavic folklore; she transmitted her soul into the body of Jenny von Westphalen, a historical figure from real life. von Westphalen is a political activist recruited by the Das Pacitos, as well as the wife of Karl Marx.
History
von Westphalen married Karl Marx sometime before 1883, but she forgot how to die, and so just kept on living. This worked out well, since Karl Marx's bloodline happened to be immortal.[1] Meanwhile, Baba Yaga had been trapped in Hell on charges of necromancy; the only ways to escape from Hell were by using a Magic Travel Clock or transferring their soul into the wife of a leader who was not a leader, and not being able to afford a Magic Travel Clock, she did the latter and transferred her soul into von Westphalen.[2]
She was enlisted into the Das Pacitos and attended the first meeting in the IHOP atop Mount Everest. Other than a brief and obnoxious appearance by James D. Rockefeller, the meeting was incredibly boring, and ended in a speech from Karl Marx about why everyone should eat potato salad.[1] At some point during a break, she disappeared from the meeting, and learned that Marx had died while she'd been gone. She went to a cliff, but found Lenin there mourning Marx's death. She told him about actually being Baba Yaga, and he didn't entirely believe her, but the interaction was short-lived anyway as he went off to talk to the Marx Brothers the moment she said the word "family".[2]
Later on, when the other Das Pacitos were attempting to escape from Mengele's OCs, she picked them up in her van and drove them away from the threat.[2]
