The Dictatorship Of The Proletariat!

"If we translate the latin,scientific,historico-philosophical
term'dictatorship of the proletariat'into simpler language,"Lenin
wrote,"it means just the following:"Only a definite class,namely,the
urban workers and the factory,industrial workers in general,is able to
throw off the yoke of capital,in actually carrying it out,in struggle
to maintain and consolidate the victory,in the work of creating the
new,socialist social system,in the entire struggle for the complete
abolition of classes."The theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat
is the CRUX of Marxism.Only dictatorship,the undivided power of the
proletariat,enables the proletariat to put an end to capitalism and
build socialism.It is only natural,therefore,that the question of the
dictatorship has always been,and remains,the pivot of the ideological
struggle of Marxism-Leninism against reformism and revisionism.Lenin
called the dictatorship of the proletariat the touchstone for testing
the real understanding and recognition of Marxism.To be a Marxist it
is not enough merely to recognize the struggle of classes,he said.You
can be a Marxist only if you extend recognition of the class struggle
to recognition of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
