I have changed my stance. A classless society perhaps could be possible, but I personally prefer talking about medium term social projects that have been proven in other countries or during the New Deal era. An Epstein level of power shouldn’t be a thing

Someone reached out and changed my perspective a little bit. I also remembered how the term “class” can be a little bit funky and confusing depending on what language you are using. I don’t think something like the Epstein class should exist, and I didn’t earlier. I was talking about generalized inequality of outcome within reason, which betrays a very poor understanding of “class” in Marxist literature.

I think some European countries do things like healthcare and labor regulations better than us. They aren’t perfect but they are better.

Class in a Marxist sense merely refers to one’s relationship to the means of production

Yea, I was having a brain fart and confused class with income among different working professions. A very silly mistake on my part.
