The dictatorship of the proletariat is just democracy. It’s just the people getting to govern themselves instead of a select Elite few. There’s really nothing weird about it, the weird thing is thinking that a small closed-knit group of authoritarian Elites can ever implement the dictatorship of the proletariat because by definition they are not the proletariat.

It’s not “just democracy” when it explicitly prescribes a one party state.
The democratic part is only within the ruling party, the one that claims to represent the proletariat.
