It's true that Marx is about class and CRT is about race, but don't you think there's an abstract similarity there, which is the group-based oppressed/oppressor claim? I don't think it's totally disingenuous to think of CRT as a modern re-incarnation of this type of thinking due to this abstract nearness.
Perhaps a more accurate way to frame this is that both CRT and Marxism are separate instances of a collectivist way of thinking that tries to categorize people into groups based on their perceived power, where what informs that categorization is low dimensional (e.g merely class or merely race+gender). In that sense they're similar ideologies.
