Note:
In some of his later writings, Lenin does start conflating the dictatorship of the proletariat, in contradiction with Marx and his own earlier writings. There are 3 reasons why this might be:
1. As his party becomes less revolutionary, he might already be in the process of legitimating the state as socialist, which culminates in Stalin.
2. He might be less careful with his terminology due to decreasing health.
3. He is using “socialism” in a different sense, as in the socialist tendency.
