If a society is classless, people are not cut into layers such as upper class, middle class, and working class — no group sitting above another because of money, birth, or job. Politicians and writers use the word when they talk about a world where those walls are gone, or when they claim a country is moving that way.

If a society is classless如果一個社會是classless（無階級的）, people are not cut into layers such as upper class, middle class, and working class人們不會被分成上層階級、中產階級、勞工階級這樣的層級 — no group sitting above another because of money, birth, or job沒有哪個群體因為財富、出身或職業而高人一等。Politicians and writers use the word when they talk about a world where those walls are gone政治人物和作家在講一個那些藩籬都消失的世界時會用這個字, or when they claim a country is moving that way或宣稱某個國家正朝那個方向前進。

In British English, classless can also be a sharp everyday jab meaning rude or without good taste (“a classless remark”), but that is a different use, and not the sense we are filing here. The society sense is the one you will meet in history, politics, and the news.
