We can certain draw parallels between Marxism and feminism/antiracism/LGBT activism in that both believe in an oppressor class and an oppressed class and an oppressive system which needs to be overthrown to liberate the oppressed class and, quite possibly, punish the oppressors.

It's a bad idea because it focuses on the perception of oppressive systems as the problem rather than whether those perceptions are correct or to what extent they are correct. The latter is needed for any honest & evidence based refutation of the underlying ideas.

Except don’t the foundational texts and current popular scholars explicitly take on board the work of the Frankfurt school and make reference to capitalism as part or the source of the oppressive system? Not to say it isn’t as munged as Gramsci, but it does have a lineage.
