I'm encouraged to see more of the postmodern Left denouncing liberals & liberalism rather than claiming to be the correct version of it.

Agreed. You can't be accused of name-calling and slurs when the Marxists call themselves Marxists

Well it's often argued that intersectionality amounts to 'cultural Marxism'.

But this is to miss the ethos of postmodernism which rejects Marxism for same reason it rejects liberalism, science & reason.

Yes but IIUC intersectionality goes beyond postmodernism to set up a 'class' view of society based on the 'progressive stack'

But from a different ethos to Marxism. From a postmodern ethos. Tendency to call everything that looks at groups 'Marxism.'

Think the critique is that they end up back at what's effectively a form of Marxism, whether or not they accept that label.

I think that critique is wrong and comes from people whose main issue is Marxism. The underlying ethos is totally different.
