Marx encouraged fascist dictatorships as a method to bring about the proletariat revolution.

And this is why dictators love the, "give me just a little more power and once it's secured I'll hand it all back to the people, pinky swear" schtick.

Besides, they are supporting a state that is closest to a nazi state. russia.
