No Disneyworld!  Anything but Disneyworld!  You seem to have confused 
tasteless society with classless society.

This sounds more like H. G. Wells' genetically classbound society of 
Morlocks and Eloi than anything to do with Marx.  Actually, that bit about 
masks and punishments makes Disneyworld sound like something the Marquis de 
Sade might have envisioned (not all that far-fetched, IMO).
