    If there is a classless society, will beautiful people be at an advantage?

    I would think so. In other words, there will always be at least two classes.

      Who cares, as long as they’re not disproportionately represented, which is exactly what’s happening with the current class system.

      Sure, but there’s a difference between being at an advantage and being the politically dominant class. The crucial thing about the working class owning class divide is that the owning class essentially has all the political power, and uses it to subjugate the working class. So what you’re saying is a truism, but it misses the point that the interesting thing isn’t the classes themselves but rather the power relations between them.
