Identity politics and class struggle

Even though its cause and existence are highly justifiable, identity politics has its own limitation. The issues of a high societal women and a low class women are not same. Caste or other social marginalization will be thrown away only when there is a classless society. One should link the identity struggle to a universal class struggle for the revolutionary changes in the system. Capitalism ( which is thought to be against these marginalization) today is in a deep love with the existing feudalism. It found a best way to grow using feudal relationships. So the abolition of both is needed to change the system.
