Either they're Marxists or PhD level trained historians. The field pretty much agrees that the base premises of historical materialism are the right tools for analysis.
A similar internet person who does much more overt commie ancient history analysis is Patrick Wyman, and his Tides of History podcast.
At 4:55 in their Roman Afterlives video, it really sounds like they make a Marx reference. "a way to interpret the world in various ways, their point however is to help us change it" vs “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it."
