In Marxist socio-political thought, the dictatorship of the proletariat refers to a socialist state in which the proletariat, or industrial working class, have control of political power. Such an idea was purported by the founders of Marxism, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in the 19th century. The use of the term "dictatorship" is controversial, and does not refer to the Classical Roman concept of the dictatura (the governance of a state by a small group with no democratic process), but instead to the Marxist concept of dictatorship (that an entire societal class holds political and economic control, within a democratic system).
