Who would take priority? Abolishing slavery or making sure that black slaves were treated as well as white slaves?
This is of course not to say that we should simply ignore those that suffer more, but it is wrong to fossilize oneself on smaller issues, when they cannot be permanently and positively eliminated while capitalism reign supreme.

also fuck that dumb ass pic.

OWS was killed by the progressive stack. just imagine if the OWS people had gotten on the same page with the tea party types, that's why identity politics is the perfect weapon of our global financial kings

Identity politics doesn't aim to change the system they claim is oppressive, all they want is to see (their idea of) proper representation within that oppressive system. It's a form of symptomal healing, what Marx called Vulgar Socialism, the idea that the problem is (re)distribution of wealth/power rather than a revolutionary change in the mode of production. Take the idea of "tolerance", Zizek makes a great point here: could you even imagine someone like Martin Luther King arguing for tolerance? It's an embarrassing idea to even imagine, he was fighting for nothing less than political and legal equality. To reduce true revolutionary civil movements like that to mere tolerance is to reduce it to a farce. This is why you can get literally millions of people in the street protesting the financial system or the president and all the change that comes of it is selfies and Instagram stories and a feeling of #makingadifference #Pepsirevolution. If you want to be a neoliberal, I wont stop you, but don't pretend to be a Marxist at the same time. Read the Critique of the Gotha Program

They should be acknowledged, confronted, and challenged
Just like we confront and challenge sexual abuse, pollution, global warming, etc.
But fighting all those things isn't socialism and doesn't address the core problem at the heart of society (capitalism)
