Theory of class dictatorship

Japanese: 階級独裁理論 - かいきゅうどくさいりろん
Theory of class dictatorship

…At the same time, dictatorship is sometimes associated with groups or political parties, such as the triumvirate of Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus before the Caesar dictatorship, the Jacobins of the French Revolution, the Nazis of Germany, and the Bolshevik Party (Communist Party) of the Soviet Union. In Marxism, the theory of class dictatorship has been adopted, which holds that politics in capitalist society, even if it takes the form of democracy, is essentially the dictatorship of the minority bourgeoisie, while socialist society is the dictatorship of the majority working class, i.e. the dictatorship of the proletariat, and is a true democracy.
[Ancient Roman Dictator]
The word dictatorship itself originates from the ancient Roman institution of a dictator.
