"Wasn't it Nietzsche who wrote against equality, saying it promoted, well, the herd mentality?"

But we are not discussing equality here. At least I'm not. No two people are equal. But to be assigned to a certain class thought up on the whim of somebody I've never met and who has his own agenda is illogical in my opinion.

People are assigned to classes "thought up on the whim of" people who have their "own agenda"? Who assigns people to these classes? Who devises these classes? Such a thing may be illogical, but who are the people who do it? Even if it were so, how is it illogical to belong to a "class"? If difference exist, then what is illogical about acknowledging those differences? And, couldn't classes merely be a natural explanataion of, well, the differences (financial, social, whatever) of people in a given society?
