I wouldn’t go quite so far. At the end of the day we mostly see their military, and it’s fairly slim on the details about the rest. We know it’s post-scarcity, it’s democratic, it’s not currency-based, and not much else beyond that.
What part isnt marxism? He posited the proles would overthrow the bourgeoisie and get rid of capitalism and the elite ruling class. The federation seems to be exactly that.
Note that the commenter said marxism, not marxism-leninism which is the form most people are familiar with.
In the Star Trek Universe though, from what I remember, there wasn’t a revolution of the working classes. There was a near global collapse due to a series of wars (often stated with different or contradictory dates), followed by some dark age, then a new golden age starting with first contact.
From my memories of Marx he was also pretty light on the details of the society that would follow his revolution, so if you tilt your head and squint a little, kinda anything goes.

To me it feels like the wrong label for the task.
