A better question is "will the Fakertarian faction finally denounce those on the left, who they'd otherwise align themselves with, that champion Marx?"
Of course they won't because that assumes that the left actually cares about racism in the non leftist definition i.e. a belief that one race is inherently superior to another. Racism in the way the left uses it essentially means anything that opposes them. You will also notice that their preferred term is quickly becoming white supremacy. This works better for a number of reasons. First they don't have to make the inchoate argument that non-whites cannot be racist due to not having institutional power. This doesn't even make sense seeing as non-whites have been in every single position of power in the U.S. including the presidency, not to mention there are cities where a majority of the elected officials are non-white. The claim of white supremacy is much easier as the only ones that the left has to go after are non leftists regardless of race. You are either a white person advocating for a system where whites are at institutional advantage or you are a minority who is working with the white superstructure and against a more equitable society. A good example of this is the recent exchange Candice Owen's had with a Democratic politician. She was stating actual statistics of black crime as a total and against Asian Americans. The Democrat proceeded to retweet her, but did he dispute her facts with alternative statistics? No, he sent her a picture of a Klan mask. He then defended his action by saying blacks can advocate for white supremacy too. Will the left cancel a white leftist against a black conservative? Of course they won't because it has nothing to do with racism. It is all about power. This is what the left wants, it is what it has always wanted. It is about a left wing nationalistic government that dictates its whims on all of us. Marx is a vehicle for a lot of leftist to use young useful idiots to advocate for a nationalistic government. To be honest I don't believe the ones who will be in control are actual Marxian Socialists. The left has basically been advocating the same thing for 80 years now. They want a second bill of rights a la Franklin D. Roosevelt. A guaranteed income, universal Healthcare, free housing, etc. Now you can certainly argue that these things are Socialism, but for the Democrat's it goes back to FDR not Marx. Marx is useful for the left and the Democrat's because he can be used to advocate their agenda. Anything other than that is irrelevant to them.
After the US took California from Mexico, Marx asked, “Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?”
