Word: dictatorship of the proletariat Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Calque of German Diktatur des Proletariats. Initially worded as Diktatur der Arbeiterklasse “dictatorship of the working class” and Klassendiktatur des Proletariats “class dictatorship of the proletariat”, both attested earliest in Karl Marx's series The Class Struggles in France, 1848–1850 [1850]. Two early appearances of the precise wording Diktatur des Proletariats “dictatorship of the proletariat” are in: * Joseph Weydemeyer's article “Die Diktatur des Proletariats” [1 January 1852]; and * Marx's letter to Weydemeyer [5 March 1852]. 1. A socio-political power characterized by a struggle to achieve a communist society, as opposed to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Labels: Marxism, countable, uncountable Example: If a revolution is to be victoriously carried through, it will require a concentrated power, a dictatorship at its head. Cromwell's dictatorship was necessary in order to establish the supremacy of the English bourgeoisie; the terrorism of the Paris Commune and of the Committee of Public Safety alone succeeded in breaking the resistance of the feudal lords on French soil. Without the dictatorship of the proletariat which is concentrated in the big cities, the bourgeois reaction will not be done away with. Example: What I did that was new was to prove: (1) that the existence of classes is only bound up with particular historical phases in the development of production, (2) that the class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat, (3) that this dictatorship itself only constitutes the transition to the abolition of all classes and to a classless society.
