Yes, a dictatorship of the proletariat, which likely isn't what you think it means. It's not an autocratic dictatorship like in anti/socialist/communist propaganda. It's the complete rule the the proletarian class, i.e., the majority of society, the 99%, a class dictatorship, as opposed to the current class dictatorship of the bourgeois class, the dictatorship of the minority, the top 1%, which is far closer to an autocratic dictatorship.

@Radical_EgoCom @colo_lee "complete rule by the proletariat", as described in the posting. I refer to the plot of "Animal Farm" wherein the animals (proletariat) overthrow their human masters (rulers) and govern themselves.

@patrascan @colo_lee

It's nothing like how that book portrays the proletarian dictatorship.

@Radical_EgoCom @colo_lee Orwell describes one possible outcome (not improbable, given human nature) of a proletariat dictatorship. Certainly not the only outcome.
