Marx had very little to say about the governing structure of communist governments, but did actually describe socialism as a 'dictatorship of the proletariat'.

What you're taking issue with is how marxism was later applied by various political projects, but they all still fall under the umbrella term of Marxism.

Put another way: all Marxist-lenninists are Marxist but not all Marxists are Marxist-lenninists
