No, Marxism has very little, but not nothing to do with postmodernism. Intersectionality explicitly draws on postmodernism but makes class the least relevant characteristic.
There is Marxist critical theory, yes, and it predates postmodern branches of critical theory because Marxism predates pomo.

If he is a symbol of revolution, sure. But they're much more focused on social rather than economic revolution. They're postmodernists. They're not very good at economics.

Intersectionality being revolutionary class struggle between oppressors and oppressed in a kyriarchy of demographics. The question is whether this utilizes the same dynamics as Marxism, like Marxist feminists before them?

I'm going to argue that in a sense it does. Similar moral foundations. Intersectionality as a replacement for Marxism. But to conflate them much more than that (and on some specific borrowings) is to miss the profound epistemological differences which matter. A lot.

So it appears to be a question of emphasis, where for me, it is awkward to place such emphasis and blame on pomo. I am a materialist anti-SJW and also a constructivist
