Marx believed humans are shaped (not determined) by the economic conditions they find themselves in. But he also believed economic conditions could be changed (otherwise, why bother criticizing them?) and that the proletariat were the ones to change them.. Since economic conditions could be changed, this logically entails that these changed economic conditions would in turn shape and change humans, and therefore there is no such thing as an immutable human nature. I've never heard a Marxist (hardcore or otherwise) proclaim that "there is no human freedom". Not sure who you (21:58) are hanging out with, but they obviously have never read Marx. And I say this as a non-Marxist.
