          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.
