It's frankly a relief to have a straightforward, graspable explanation but we can't properly oppose postmodernism unless we understand its conception of knowledge, reason, truth & it is poles apart from the Marxist one.

It's a tough one, I know some Marxists who are clearly leftist but not post-modernist and mock them like I would, but I know post-modernists who seem to espouse a version of marxism including the economics, just switching round the grievance groups.

You can't switch around the grievance groups and still be Marxist. It has to be about class. You can't believe in a metanarrative around economics & still be a postmodernist. They mostly just make anti-capitalist noises & lump it in with patriarchy and white supremacy.
