Well yes, Marx (& Engels), building on Hegel, were philosophically still extremely tied to Christianity, resulting in yet another moral absolutism.
Nietzsche has realized that the supremacy of that meta-morality was over, which, combined with the moral failures of Communist regimes, opened up the way to moral relativism (and to moral egalitarianism, which is the other extreme across from moral absolutism that we must be careful not to fall into).

The moral of a capitalist society would be different than the moral of a feudal society. Moreover, Marxist critique of capitalism is not a moral critique, but an invite to see the existing contradictions that would point to where future changes and developments would happen influenced by such contradictions.
