Brezhnev on multiple times proclaimed class struggle to be a fact and constant struggle. Plus, some of his insights and theoretical contributions are sound, like on state monopoly capital.

Class struggle in the Soviet Union or globally? More investigation may be due, but my impression is that he continued many of Khrushchev’s policies and the USSR continued to decline in this era.

Yeah, that's a good point, I just remember that a lot of the works of that period and his speeches stress class struggle as a huge element in the fight for socialism, but eh, he could be speaking generally.
