Beauty standards in class society are dictated by the ruling class, and because the ruling class is racist it sets anti-Black standards.
I don’t think the concept of standards, themselves, are exclusive to class society. In primitive communism the beauty standards were set by nature, so sea shells would be fashionable by the sea shore while wooden beads would be fashionable by the forest.
Would someone who moved from the sea to the forest keep their shells, or cast them off for beads? Or wear both? Dunno.
This is all to say that, under communism, people will probably still work to maintain an aesthetic for people around them. It’ll just be set to a very broad communal standard rather than set by the narrow opinions of the ruling class.

Or would social obligation simply be set by the collective, rather than the whims of a ruling class?

That, too, would be creating and enforcing a standard. Haha culture wins! culture always winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns!
I don’t want to smell other people’s human stink.
Does that make me a reactionary? 🙄

I’m reminded of the fact there was a period in Western history where they believed bathing was unhealthy and would let “bad airs” into your skin because you washed off all of the filth that protects you from miasma. Humans are sometimes really gross.
