“There is another kind of dictatorship, the dictatorship of the proletarian majority, the dictatorship of the masses, which is directed against the bourgeoisie, against the minority. At the head of this dictatorship stand the masses; here there is no room either for a camarilla or for secret decisions, here everything is done openly, in the streets, at meetings—because it is the dictatorship of the street, of the masses, a dictatorship directed against all oppressors. Marxists support this kind of dictatorship “with both hands"—and that is because such a dictatorship is the magnificent beginning of the great socialist revolution.”
— J.V. Stalin, Anarchism or Socialism?, 1907
