I agree with you. I'd wager 95% of people outside of a socialist country knows what Marx did other than "Har Har capitalism bad, communist manifesto". Even people who know that Marx was an economist or a philosopher don't know he's THE capitalism guy, who understood it so well to know that it's irredeemable and that it must be destroyed.
This woman sounds like someone who hates/opposes wokeism, so if all you know is "Marx hated capitalism, he even wrote a book about it", it's not hard to associate it with her name and wokeism.

Marx also literally defined capitalism. I don't think Mandel created the term woke to definite a social relationship.
If you didn't know that though I can see how it flows.
