True, however, there at some point is a social revolution creating the conditions necessary for a political revolution. So we have to ask ourselves, at what point did this classless society tip? What changed? I don’t have an answer, but something shifted to necessitate class struggle.
Agriculture created class society. Once it was discovered, the division of labor appeared, and thus from it sprang the division of society into workers and owners. The advancement to the next form of class society came alongside improvements in the means of production and distribution, creating new social relations and thus new classes to overtake the old.
Hasn’t agriculture always existed in some form, and then would class struggle not have always existed? Or do you mean a specific advancement (perhaps a technological point aka social revolution) that caused this division?
Gathering has always existed, but when people started settling down in towns and establishing permanent agriculture, this sprouted the division of labor and thus class society.

Agriculture is a relatively recent development. Humans were hunter-gatherers and nomadic previously.
