Not exactly. A manager is not a distinct class from a worker, class is related to ownership of the means of production. Administration in communist society isn’t a class distinct from the rest of the working class, but is merely a position within the broader production in society.
Over time, as technology advances and the division of labor fades, this will likely also become shared responsibility, but such a time would be late-stage communism.
So a CEO is working class because they get salary while a stakeholder who owns like a fraction of 1% and has nothing to say is a capitalist? The binary class system of Marx’ time has nothing to do with modern times.
Also: I always hear Marxists refer to “socialist states” as if non of them ever reached statelessness. I wonder why.
