Inclusivism wants to protect minorities from real or alleged persecution by majority. Marxism is a form of populism which thinks the majority is oppressed by a minority. Marxism has more similarities with national-populism, which also posits oppression of the majority by some elite.
Marxism, at least as practiced to date, is certainly national-populism in its purest sense. Trump and Lenin would get along just fine, except for the confiscatory part of course.
It's weird how Trump and Putin got along fine, and how many Trumpkins adore Putin. Trumpkins say Marxism sucks, yet Putin used to be an agent of communist secret service. Trumpkins say Islam sucks and hint at white supremacy, yet Putin appeases Iran and cracks down on anti-Islam and white supremacist movements in Russia to prevent another wave of Chechen insurgency. Of course Putin also cracks down on Wahhabism, which is "true blue" variety of Islam.
