Marxism, in the common understanding is a scientific theory of social reality
You’re talking about “the common understanding” which is ironic in the context of this discussion.
The fact that it is an economic reductionist theory of social reality does not mean it is physics.
I would agree with you if I shared your shallow understanding of the subject. Have you read anything rigorous about dialectic materialism or historical materialism?
Also do you think social reality isn’t a material reality? That is a rather odd position to have?
You know that those are also social abstractions of complicated phenomenon too right? Or did you not read about what a social construct was because sociology is a soft science for girls? /s
Also have you ever opened up Capital or Imperialism and looked at how many basic quantities they use when constructing their analysis?

Material in the sense of the basic physical quantities like length and charge? No. You need to add a splash of ethnography in your materialism.
