I'm using Marx's words. The DotP is named as a counter to the Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie, which Marx used to describe Liberal Democracy. The DotP is Proletarian Democracy. The "dictatorship" aspect refers to the following class which is in control, in the DotP it is mass people's democracy with a suppressed Capitalist class, in the DotB it is a minority control using the State to uphold their power.
I am full-wittingly espousing Marxism as a good thing. Democracy is good, I want Democracy for the Proletariat.
I suggest reading Marx, if you haven't. I can make some good recommendations if you want.
