The statement states that "class position is based on monopolization of skills, education and connections". To monopolize means "To dominate by excluding others" - which means that in a capitalist society working class cannot obtain skills, and therefore there is no movement between the classes - which is clearly false.
What's not said but perhaps implied is capitalism/class = bad, which leads one to other option which is classless society/communism - which is of course a crock because in every modern "classless" society there are 2 classes - "the party" or those in power, and those that have absolutely no power whatsoever. What Marx and every other notable writer on classless societies also fails to mention in their brilliant writings is that in EVERY country where they tried to implement classless society, if you disagree with the ruling class, you're most likely to get a visit from the secret police in the middle of the night.
