    I’ve always thought Dictatorship BY the Proletariat gave a better impression of what the statement actually tried to say. From what i understood of it, its supposed to be that the rules are made by the Proles (working population) rather than the “upper classes”.

      “Democracy of the Proletariat” would be the most accurate descriptor, but no one ever accused 19th century writers of not being melodramatic enough.
