Yup, anything to prop-up the Marxist paradigms. Since capitalism and the West have opportunity and wealth they go for ethnicity, race, sex, age, etc. "I'm poor and hungry because you're wealthy and fat." Ergo, "to not be poor and hungry I have to make sure you're no longer wealthy and fat." It's the populist reasoning behind tyranny.
I'd focus more on that than on Marxism. Tyranny can grow from many seeds, most predating Marx.
IMO, conservatives focus far too much on what they are against and far too little on what they should be for. That's why they keep losing.
