It's almost as bad as when anarchists say "I don't want to live under an authoritarian dictatorship of the proletariat". I swear, if I see that one more time I'm calling the NKVD.
Yay! My favorite simple explanation is "rule of the people". It's a positive thing that we as leftists should strive for, but I see a lot of people acting like it's something bad because of the word "dictator" in it.

Well, it has the word dictator in it, which is, you know... not great. Definitely needs a Frank Luntz message marketing overhaul.
Lots of modern leftists tend to use the phrase "Democratic Socialism" to imply a kinder, gentler, happier proletarian government.
