Is the concept of a classless society even conceivable?

MODERATORS
No to the title question.
Yes to the question in the body of the post.
Why?
That is what humans do.
Humans didn't always have class, though, and when all of production and distribution is collectivized there won't be class in the future. I think what you're thinking of as class isn't the same as what leftists are talking about.
When was that?
Early communalism, which existed for most of human existence.
When we were hunters and gatherers there were tribal leaders.
Yes, leadership isn't inherently class, that's why I think you're talking about something else entirely.
