<P> A theory of the new class was developed by Milovan Đilas the Vice President of the Federal People 's Republic of Yugoslavia under Josip Broz Tito , who participated with Tito in the Yugoslav People 's Liberation War , but was later purged by him as Đilas began to advocate democratic and egalitarian ideals ( which he believed were more in line with the way socialism and communism should look like ) . However , there were also personal antagonisms between the two men , and Tito felt Đilas undermined his leadership . The theory of the new class can be considered to oppose the theories of certain ruling Communists , such as Joseph Stalin , who argued that their revolutions and / or social reforms would result in the extinction of any ruling class as such . It was Đilas ' observation as a member of a Communist government that Party members stepped into the role of ruling class -- a problem which he believed should be corrected through revolution . Đilas ' completed his primary work on his new class theory in the mid-1950s . While Đilas was in prison , it was published in 1957 in the West under the title The New Class : An Analysis of the Communist System . </P>
