| | Inspired by the sweeping democratic promises of wartime ideology and a hunger for security and stability, Americans welcomed the notion of classless prosperity. | | | Life referred matter-of-factly in 1949 to blue jeans as part of a national teenage "uniform." By the 1950s these classless, vaguely "western" progeny of democratic G.I. dungarees had come to symbolize the triumph of denim as an equalizing casual wear for virtually all Americans. | | | 20 This new term, which gradually replaced the older phrase "way of life," conveyed nuances of classlessness. |

| | Classlessness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Classlessness also refers to the state of mind required in order to operate effectively as a social anthropologist. | | | Such a situation is usually the result of a voluntary decision by the members of a certain society, to abolish that society's class structure. | | | Classless societies are highly egalitarian, and they often do not use the concept of private property. |

| | Classlessness |
| | To use an extreme example, the slave and his master do not become "equal" or "classless" if they simply decide to imagine themselves as such. | | | In other contexts, classlessness may also be used to refer to a type of society in which social classes have been objectively abolished. | | | In Marxist thought, for example, contemporary society is divided in two social classes: the bourgeoisie (those who earn all or most of their income as a result of their ownership of various means of production) and the proletariat (those who earn all or most of their income by working as employees for a wage). |

| | This ideology is now institutionalised by government in the argument that, while affirmative action programmes can and should assist females and minority members of society, a member of the working class has only himself to blame if he (and it must be a he) is not successful. | | | The national experience of public education reinforces the ideal of classlessness, the media imply that the working class no longer exists, and the rhetoric of American political leaders only uses the word when it is prefixed with 'middle'. | | | For example, Halle (1984), in a study of a factory in New Jersey, observed that workers would refer to themselves as working men or working women, but never as the working class. |

| | Sociologists have regarded intellectuals as (1) members of a class or as a class in their own right; (2) relatively classless; and (3) embedded in a shifting network of class and other group affiliations. | | | Instead, they are "members of a relatively classless stratum which is not too firmly embedded in the social order." Intellectuals are typically recruited from various classes. | | | For example, intellectuals may be found at all points on the political spectrum. |
