Well, that or Marx purists. Marx believed that the transition between capitalism and socialism would include a period where the state was fulfilling capitalist roles and run as the infamous "dictatorship of the proletariat."

He never quite seems to explain how democracy arises from said dictatorship, or the people's recourse when it inevitably corrupts.
