    It is conceivable.

    For example, imagine a society like ours but where everyone, no matter their wealth, has to do essential jobs, taking turns. For example everyone in your city needs to be a garbage collector for one week every 2 years, or they need to work in hospitals to help clean patients for a week every year, maybe you need to work in the fields for a month every 2 years, basically all jobs that people only do because they can’t do anything less tiresome plus jobs that are now almost fully automated to produce essentials but still require some labour.

    In that system, you’d always have enough workforce to give everyone enough food, homes, healthcare and education to live, while people might still work at secondary non-essential jobs, voluntarily, and gaining a bit more to have their fancy cars and yatch.

    This is a conceptual society where, despite the possibility for individual differences, you don’t really have classes, because no matter if you were born in poverty or you are Elon Musk, you all have to take part on essential services equally.
