    You don’t understand the term. The dictatorship of the proletariat is democratic. The reason Marx used that particular term is that in his time, he felt that the bourgeois were the only ones being represented, and by forcing actual democracy, the proletariat would finally have their needs met, which would feel like a dictatorship to the bourgeois.
