There's no dictatorship of the proletariat in Marx, though.

"Long before me, bourgeois historians had described the historical development of this struggle between the classes, as had bourgeois economists their economic anatomy. My own contribution was (1) to show that the existence of classes is merely bound up with certain historical phases in the development of production; (2) that the class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat; [and] (3) that this dictatorship, itself, constitutes no more than a transition to the abolition of all classes and to a classless society."

No mention of the dictatorship falling on the shoulders of a strong man and keeping it there though.

Just pointing out that the Dictatorship of the Proletariat is a concept Marx envisioned, even if very differently than MLs.

Yeah cheers for that, my meme was indeed aimed at that interpretation
