Hoppe argues that while the [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|Marxist]] perspective sees class struggle as a confrontation between the [[File:SyndieSam.png]] [[Syndicalism|working class]] and the [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|capitalist]] class, the [[File:Austrobert.png]] [[Austrian School|Austrian]] perspective sees class struggle as a confrontation between the State and civil society.

Hoppe presents the Austrian perspective, which says that the [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|capitalist]] class and [[File:SyndieSam.png]] [[Syndicalism|working class]] are simply two groups within civil society that benefit each other through the voluntary exchange of goods and services in the market. On the other hand, the [[File:Statist.png]] [[Authoritarianism|State]], having a monopoly of force and the power to tax, benefits at the expense of society at large. The division is between two classes: the [[File:Cap.png]] [[File:SyndieSam.png]] productive class and the [[File:Office.png]] non-productive class.
Hoppe presents the Austrian perspective, which establishes the division between two very specific classes: the [[File:Cap.png]] [[File:SyndieSam.png]] productive class and the [[File:Office.png]] non-productive class.

Hoppe argues that ultimately the class struggle in modern society is a struggle between the State and civil society and that the only way to limit government power and protect the private property rights of citizens is through decentralization and the abolishment of the State, effectively eliminating the non-productive class, leaving the productive class free to prosper.
