No they aren't. A small handful of people affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America claim to he Marxist but what they advocate for is milquetoast social democracy (Richaed Wolff et al.). This has the effect of channeling left discontent into the Democratic Party, the graveyard of social movements.
Marxism is wage labor abolitionist. Welfare and unions ain't it.
It's also a consistent loser. It has never succeeded in anything approximating its pure form, and is unlikely to in the future.
