Putting the prefix "neo" before something is a scare tactic.

It most certainly is not. Marxism is about the idea that the socioeconomic life of nations and the world can be looked at through the lens of CLASS conflict: very rich vs upper vs middle vs lower. Neo-Marxism uses a similar template, but it's "my group" vs "the other groups" such as "transgenders VS cis genders", "LGBTQ+ vs straights", "liberals vs conservatives", "atheists vs religious", and so on. It is a new twist on the Marxist idea and truly deserves its NEO-Marxist moniker.

Marx was just another oppressor class piece of shit by his own standards.

You oversimplify things greatly. Marx was either "wrong" or, my opinion, an evil, manipulative liar. And undoubtedly a thoroughly hateful individual. He hated the rich much more than he ever cared for the "working class". As such, he certainly was a destroyer, but not exactly an oppressor. I just don't see where that angle might be true.
