The ruling ideological class is the ruler of a world that has turned upside down
The more powerful the class, the more that it denies the world of it's existence, and its power is employed above all to enforce this claim
This is a complete denial of class distinction
It is only modest on this one point, because this officially nonexistent bureaucracy simultaneously attributes the crowning achievements of history to its own infallible leadership, while denying all responsibilities of its failures

Living people are often dead already
