Because they don't want to bring attention of class
Europeans for all their failings are well aware of class structures from living under monarchies for centuries. America unfortunately is still blind to it in some areas by design as the elites would love if everyone focused on the skin deep differences of race than people looked deeper in why on average Asians and to a lesser degree White people are doing better than Black people.
No. Communists already tried to divide us by class. They discovered that class affiliations were trumped by family, religion, and country. So the communists pivoted to a variety of subversive and destructive ideologies - identity politics being the primary and most effective one - in order to undermine traditional associations, collapse society, and make way for communism.
You make an appeal to class structure and then immediately reference disparate income based on race. Yeah, those racial disparities are very real, but they sure as hell aren’t caused by “class”.
In a way there is a "class" structure in the US.
You have the hard workers that apply themselves.
The lazy that won't take advantage of any opportunity given to them.
And the nepotistic that have wormed their way into positions of power and importance, and make sure that others like them get the same opportunities at the expense of others.
Guess this isn't a uniquely American thing though...
