Right and along the way you have to cleverly manage class conflict and contradictions. Classes aren't going to just disappear in a very short time because you really want them too. There have been enough attempts at Marxism to show that the elimination of something as ingrained as class is extremely difficult long term task.
If the most well intentioned marxists leaders took control of China tomorrow morning, it would still take decades if not generations to eliminate class and the state.
The job of the Marxist state is to manage class conflict and contradiction, not pretend they don't exist.
We say the end result of that in the USSR. It wasn't sustainable and now the ex Soviet block is neo liberal hell holes.
The Chinese are well aware of this and conciously avoiding the Soviet model because, well, it completely backfired...

Marx advocated for taking control of the state apparatus in order to elimate class.
