and its inevitable transformation into a tool for a new ruling elite. Core Thesis of "The New Class"

"The ownership of the New Class is a collective ownership. It is not ownership in the legal sense, but rather a form of usufruct—the right to use, control, and distribute national wealth. The party is the owner, and the members of the party are, in theory, only its executors. In practice, however, the highest echelon of the party enjoys the benefits of ownership without the burden of legal title. They determine national income, allocate resources, and grant themselves pensions, villas, and privileges. Thus, they are a class in the Marxist sense: a group of people who stand in a specific relation to the means of production—in this case, political control." milovan djilas nova klasa pdf 86
