I hate standpoint theory so much it's the biggest blight in talking to people to people on anything.

You can be educated on something but then they go 'erm but I come from this background "

I hate it so much it's so anti intellectual

Liberals do intersectionality without class all the time too. Which does make the liberal version dogshit; intersectionality without class makes about as much sense as intersectionality without acknowledging gender, or without acknowledging race.

I would say it makes even less sense, because the types of social minoritizing that you describe are real and important, but class is what makes the overall project make sense. To subtract specifically class wildly undercuts your ability to have a meaningful understanding of every other element, which ends up in moralizing or idealist attitudes to addressing bigotry, not to mention rainbow capitalism, black capitalism, etc.
