It's also the state power to oppress counter revolutionaries and the former high class, often through violence and forced labour. That to me is a form of dictatorship, even if it does provide better conditions and freedom to much more people than the newly oppressed.
I'm not saying it to praise it or condemn it, I just think it's a fact at this point.
