• The Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, plans to eliminate the social strata that have divided society since the 1990s.
• This classification was originally intended to have wealthier areas subsidize the public services of poorer areas, but it has degenerated into a system of prejudice.
• The idea of eliminating the social strata is not new, but it has never been implemented until now.
• Today, the state and various technicians propose the elimination of the system, as they have more effective mechanisms for understanding families' economic situations.
• Eliminating social strata will not end public assistance or discrimination, but it could promote a more equal society.

Conclusion: Petro's proposal to eliminate social strata could contribute to a more equal society and the creation of language that is more respectful of socioeconomic differences.
