The term "dictatorship of the proletariat", and even the term "dictatorship", do not appear in the first two citations in the article. The opening sentence, giving a definition, should probably have citations that lead to the definition of the term. The 9th citation is supposed to contain the given definition of the term, so it should probably be used in the opening sentence instead. NeedsCorrection ( talk) 01:13, 8 June 2024 (UTC) reply
