A dictatorship of the proletariat has dictatorship RIGHT IN THE NAME. So of course it's totalitarian.
Stalin and Mao and all the other Communists ruled with an Iron Fist. Everyone hated them. Nobody liked them. And the only reason they were able to control their respective countries is because nobody else in the country except them and a few close friends had any guns. It's just like in Animal Farm, see? Or Atlas Shrugged, which is another historical book I read about Chile.
I mean I think it says a lot that right after Stalin and Mao died, Communism ended.
My whiplash reading this post: “Well yea, current Russia is an oligarchy what’s the iss—Communist Totalitarianism?!?!?!”
Well sweaty, didn't you know that Communism is when you are Russian and the more Russian you are the more Communist you are? Checkmate.
