Okay, it’s nice to explain what the difference between a dictatorship of the proletariat and an actual dictatorship is… but a large amount of marxist-leninist countries are literal dictatorships. Xi removed term limits unilaterally. NK is a literal dictatorship, or a absolute monarchy at best. Maduro has run sketchy elections in the past, no comment on the current one yet.

Authoritarian keys to power are incompatible with a fair and just society. Everyone has to steer the ship, or people inevitably get crushed. The less hands steering, the more crushing.
