One of the first to envision a classless society with common people in charge of their destiny was Plato. Others since then have had the same vision, including Karl Marx.
Karl Marx, a German philosopher and economist, envisioned a classless society where common people, known as the proletariat, would control their own fate. Marx believed that this society would be achieved through revolution and the establishment of a socialist system where wealth and resources are shared equally among all members of society.

If there is government, then there must be classes and all power will lie with the ruling class, not with the people. The only way for people to be in charge of their lives is for there to be a classless stateless society, Socialism.
Communism means the abolition of the wages system and establishment of a classless moneyless society. Communists have never been in charge in China. China was state capitalist and is now a mix of state and private capitalism.
Firstly, Communism (classless stateless society based on production for use) will have to exist on a global basis, with no borders. Secondly, Communism has no class of rulers, as it will be a fully democratic system, with people in charge of their own lives.
The Merchants/Artistan were in charge for the trade in the mayan society

Russian society was taken charge by Autocrats, also called Czars with absoloute power
To have a large, central government who is in charge of everything. Its people are supposed to toil for the common good of all in a classless society (supposed to be classless, but corruption always seeps in) and to have the government dole out whatever subsistence they see fit. No more wealth or private property. Big, central government wants all the wealth and power, and the meek, well-behaved and unarmed citizens have little say in the matter. Big Government knows best and will take care of you. They promise! Does this sound like a place you want to live in? Kind of like a giant low-income housing project, except with no hope or opportunity to move on to better things...
Each individual is responsible for shaping their own destiny.
