As long as we continue to believe that the class structure is a "natural phenomenon," we will continue to fall into that mass formation psychosis.
There's nothing natural about the class structure of society. It is enforced on us. Read The Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen for the classic analysis of how our class structure started.

We certainly can disagree as to what causes class structure or that it even exists. During the time of (biblical) Abram/Abraham class structure existed. In every Empire throughout history a class structure has existed. Thinking this is naturally so because of the patterns of individual traits and use of free will (physical energy, mental acuity, timidness, boldness, aggressive level) does not lead to mass formation psychosis. The varying levels and numbers of classes in a structure of course varied over time periods and under different influences, but still based in part of the nature of individuals.

Yes. Class structure is absolutely not forced on us. Why don't we pay more attention to the ancients? Aristotle...would be a good start.
Karl Marx is far more insightful. Please read him: he was the first philosopher to truly examine class and explain it.
History did not begin with Abraham.
Of course not, it started when you say it did. That's fine with me.
