The class war doesn't need a spark. It has been going on for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Except usually most people pretended to ignore it and didn't participate. Now it's [once again] getting really difficult to ignore it, so there's little choice but to participate.
Standard societal cycle of the elite class enjoying some 200 years of comfortable life, then going too far and getting pushed back. Though as time goes on, each cycle seems to be shorter. Maybe some time in the future it'll be gone entirely?
I don't see that happening until you can consistently get future generations to think about and continue enforcing a fair society. A good habit built by their parents may get passed on to their kids, but then the kids need to keep passing it on. Easier said than done on a person to person level. Even harder on a societal level.
Good people don't tend to push back until you push them too far.
