  Encyclopedia: New class
The new class is a term to describe the privileged ruling class of bureaucrats and Communist party functionaries which typically arises in a Stalinist communist state.
A theory of the new class was developed by Milovan Djilas, who participated with Tito in the Yugoslavian Revolution, but was later purged by him as Djilas began to advocate democratic and egalitarian ideals (which he believed were more in line with the way socialism and communism should look like).
The theory of the new class is in contradiction to the claims of certain ruling communists, such as Stalin, who argued that their revolutions and/or social reforms had resulted in the extinction of any ruling class as such.

Djilas claimed that the new class' specific relationship to the (additional info and facts about means of production) means of production was one of collective political control, and that the new class' property form was political control.
Thus for Djilas the new class not only seeks expanded material reproduction to politically justify its existence to the (A social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages) working class, but it also seeks expanded reproduction of political control as a form of property in itself.
While Djilas claimed that the new class was a social class with a distinct relationship to the (additional info and facts about means of production) means of production, he did not claim that this new class was associated with a self-sustaining (additional info and facts about mode of production) mode of production.

 M. Djilas. Totalitarianism and Violence.
The New Class (1957), elaborating this thesis, was written in a Yugoslav prison by Milovan Djilas, a pre-war fellow conspirator and a wartime comrade of Tito, who had risen to the top of the Politburo and become vice president of Yugoslavia and president of the Yugoslav National Assembly.
The new class therefore had to subordinate the peasantry to itself economically and administratively; this was done through the kolkhozes and machine-tractor stations, which required an increase proportionate to the size of the new class in the villages themselves.
Since the hold of the new class on economic life and on the social structure was fairly precarious, and since it was fated to arise within a specific party, it required the highest possible degree of organization, as well as a consistent effort to present a united, balanced, class-conscious front.

 Undergrads Discover New Class Of Star; "They Pulsate Like Jell-O"
"Astronomers are always looking for new and better ways to study stars," said Elizabeth Green, assistant staff astronomer at Steward Observatory, who with her students discovered the new class of stars.
This new community of "astroseismologists" was delighted in 1997 with the discovery that a few sub-dwarf B stars were pulsating in several different modes during short periods, periods of 100 to 200 seconds.
The discovery of this new class of pulsating sub-dwarf B star is exciting because the stars' hour-long periods should make good observations much easier, and because these stars are more common than the short-period pulsators, Green said.
