- aksss 3y agoWho in the 21st century still thinks classless societies are even possible? I can't think of a single attempt in reality that succeeded, and it's been tried across cultures and via different methods. It's always a good thing to strive towards (like achieving 100% or 0), but never possible. And class mobility (in both directions) is a great attribute to have - resists classes turning into castes.

- Gormo 3y agoPeople differ from each other in countless particular attributes, but it's entirely a subjective and value-laden activity to select a small subset of those attributes and define a "class" against them.
- zo1 3y agoIt doesn't have to be quantifiable and easily-defined for it to be true in some abstract sense. I'd compare it to multi-dimensional clustering analysis.
