It seems likely that they approve of class, of some kind, but disagree with the Empire as to who should rule. For this reason their struggle against the Empire resonates with its essence and will strengthen its organs of surveillance and repression -- as we already observe.

I believe that theocrats must regard the idea of a classless or Stateless society as a species of Godless nihilism -- in other words, they have abstracted slavery and other forms of sociopathy into a divine order. I can't imagine how one would begin to advance their consciousness.
