What would it be a spectrum of? Either you think society needs to be ruled by elites (right wing) or you think society should run itself based on universal rights (left wing).

How would you have elites without government?

Are you asking why governments exist or what classes are?

I believe in universal rights.

Class systems predate governments so, no I don’t think governments as we know them are a prerequisite for class systems. Class systems are always perpetuated with violence so when a state has a monopoly on violence then class systems can only be upheld with state approval.
