No, but...
Is Marxism woke now? Are we just continually adding things people here don't like to the definition of "wokeness"?

No.
While class struggle is the central conflict of Marxism, it's the way Marx described class struggle that was truly important - basically organized materialism that drives economic production - and that makes things "marxist."
The American Revolution was not a Marxist revolution and that was partially a class struggle.
Serf revolts in medieval times were also class struggles, and were not Marxist in nature. Scots vs. Brits. Etc.
Don't buy into that theory at all, but it provides good discussion. Humans rebel against the more powerful all of the time, and not all of it is Marxist.
