RSpec - Get Described Class

How can I get the main class that is being described in RSpec 3? For example, I have the following spec:

describe User do
  describe "fetching" do
    describe "all" do
      subject { described_class.new }
    end
  end
end

subject currently returns something similar to User::fetching::all but I want it to return User only.

Not sure I'm understanding your question correctly, but as far as I can see, if you just want to get the class name constant within your test, just using described_class (without .new) should get you what you want:

class User; end

describe User do
  subject { described_class }
  it { is_expected.to eq(User) }
end
