The system before Marx's communism is what Russia is today and what Trump is trying to turn America into. Where the country is fully controlled by autocrats and the lower classes have absolutely no voice.
There's 'classless' and there's 'classless.'

Marx was not speaking of class as in 'classless' behavior - he was speaking about the class that rules and the rest of us. For Marx, the Groper Don the Con and his ilk are the class that has to be overthrown.
