Social power will remain even absent economic exploitation, tbh. I mean that's how economic exploitation came into being in the first place.
It's fundamentally a consequence of social coalition-building, which itself boils down to a congruence of shared interests, & mutual personal familiarity/affinity.
That's not to say that you can't give workers as a class more, or less degrees of political power within a given society. I just don't really believe anymore, that we're going to create a society where everybody actually gets to matter.
You are correct on the scale of a generation, it's utopianism or liberalism to believe otherwise. But if you disagree read State and Revolution or listen to season 2 of Marx Madness if you want further analysis.
