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.
How would you have elites without government?
Are you asking why governments exist or what classes are?
I believe in universal rights.
