Who? What?
Have you actually talked to a Marxist. And understood what they say. For you would not be saying such nonsense if you had!
Actually you have to stop talking and thinking, because I cast Word of Power "Evil", and it hit. You have successfully been labeled as "Evil" and are now silenced for 1d4 turns. You are also now vulnerable to Holly Word "Liberty" for the duration of the silence.

Don't no true Scotsman, please
The "Iron Rule of Oligarchy" was created by an Italian socialist-turned-fascist (literally went from German SPD to eventually Italian fascism). It isn't a real law, it's an idealist argument against democratic institutions.
A Marxist saying that class is more important than idealist notions of power is not at all contradictory.
But it says Rule in the name! Are you telling me that an Italian fascist would mislead people about political theory?
Which actually is hilarious. Your system is bad because it creates hierarchy with a small distribution of power, said the literal fascist.
