Upper class carries a heavy implication of nepotism with minimal social class mobility.
This is quite distinct from, say, a government of elected policy debaters submitting bills to a body of elected law passers that are part of a silo separate from the the silo's of military, civil enforcement, policy enactment (merit based civil service), etc.
The later is a hierarchy but not a class based one (assuming sufficient widespread education and social support).
