What the author describes are not the defining features of Marxism. Marxism is a political philosophy the details of which we are all familiar. Marx also had many insights into modern society, human psychology, and history.

However, agreeing with some of Marx's insights does not make you a Marxist. This is the converse of "Hitler was a vegetarian, therefore vegetarianism is evil" fallacy.
