"Propaganda" is mostly used more just as an insult than as an objective category, but the founder of this website would indeed seem to literally be a Marxist. In his Twitter feed, he advocates policies similar to those advocated by Marx, using language similar to Marx's. He also refers to Marx directly by name in approving terms:

This of course doesn't make anything claimed in the article any more or less true, but the purportedly scientific conclusions here do align nicely with his politics.

As to the article, Malthusian predictions have a long history of being incredibly wrong. It seems likely to me that global warming will continue to a point that many current agricultural practices must be abandoned for new ones, and that this transition will result in many deaths; but that's not the "collapse of civilization". Maybe scientists frustrated by the public's slow response to this serious problem have decided to try falsely portraying it as an apocalyptic problem, to see if that gets a faster response; but I doubt that it will, and it's a lie either way.
