Basically, yes. Marx believed that in industrialised societies, identity was constructed through the relations between human beings and their means of production. Identities within this system were constructed in relation to the identity of the class in a struggle against forces of domination and subordination that constrained the way that individuals expereinced the world and the means that they could draw upon in their constructions of class identity.

Karl Marx did not focus much on questions of identity as it is understood today. Instead, his primary focus was on class struggle and the economic structures that perpetuate inequalities. He believed that individuals' identities were largely shaped by their socio-economic position within the capitalist system.
