Instead of checking a dictionary, do you want to ask actual Marixists what they think of the Democratic Party? You can find plenty of them around here. They tend not to have anything nice to say about the Democrats, and would be insulted at the comparison.
It’s because it’s very reductive and weird to look at this one-line definition and ask if you’re a Marxist. You’re not automatically Christian just because you like giving to the poor and you saw on Wikipedia that Christianity gives to the poor, there’s a lot more to it. You’re a Marxist if you look up Marx’s theory and decide you agree with all (maybe most) of it. There’s a spectrum greater than not liking CEOs making money before asking if you’re a Marxist, a Communist, or just a Libertarian.
Don’t let that stop you if you want to learn more about it to see if you still like it.
You have to pass the right gatekeepers to be Marxist because if there’s one thing Marxists don’t want is people on their side who don’t necessarily agree with 100% of every economic idea from one dude a century ago… Apparently

The down votes indicate that. I’m not really understanding so I’m ready to just accept the hate and move on. 🤷
