CLASSLESS SOCIETY

Sociologyindex, Sociology Books 2011

Classless society is a society that does not have a hierarchy of different social classes and in which individuals have similar resources of wealth, status and power. 

Classless society is found in simple hunter-gatherer societies (like the pygmies of Zaire) and also a socialist vision of a future society founded on collective ownership of the means of production.

The building of a classless socialist society is also a gigantic process of remolding all aspects of social life. It involves constant revolutionary change not only in the relations of production, the mode of distribution, the work process, the forms of administration of the economy and society, the customs, habits and ways of thinking of the great majority of people, but also fundamental reconstruction of all living conditions.- reconstruction of cities, reunification of manual and intellectual labor, complete revolution of the education system, restoration and defense of the ecological equilibrium, technological revolutions designed to conserve scarce natural resources, etc. 

Classless society is Marxist term. According to Marxist theory, tribal society, primitive communism, was classless. 

There are three societies that followed the classless tribal society. First, there was ancient society, in which the major class distinction was between master and slave. Then, there was feudal society, in which lord and serf played the roles of class war. The last stage of class society, is bourgeois society, or capitalism, in which it has been simplified to owner and worker. According to Marx, there should be a classless society once again at the end of the development, which would negate class society, the negation of the negation, in Hegelian terms.
