“The dictatorship of the proletariat.”
Karl Marx
“Look at the Paris Commune. That was the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.”
Friedrich Engels
“Historically and politically, the petit-bourgeois is the key to the century. The bourgeois and proletariat classes have become abstractions: the petite-bourgeoisie, in contrast, is everywhere, you can see it everywhere, even in the areas of the bourgeois and the proletariat, what's left of them.”
Roland Barthes
“Only individuals, and a small number of them at that, can be carried away by an abstract and "pure" idea. The millions, the masses, not only of the proletariat but also of the enlightened and privileged classes, are carried away only by the power and logic of "facts".”
Mikhail Bakunin
“A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it.”
George W. Bush
“Dictatorship is a constant lecture instructing you that your feelings, your thoughts and desires are of no account, that you are a nobody and must live as you are told by other people who desire and think for you”
Stephen Vizinczey
“I believe in benevolent dictatorship provided I am the dictator”
Richard Branson
