PoMos don't tend to understand economics very well and they pay lip-service to class issues coz this would mean acknowledging that white men can be oppressed. They don't see a stigma with Marxism and like to claim it as part of their shtick but they mostly focus on identity.

Partly, yes. Some PoMos rejected it outright whilst others adapted it. Later generations included anti-capitalism and social policies in their activism goals but not very convincingly and the Marxists hate them.
