"Left-wing dictatorship" and "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" are not the same.[edit]

There's a redirect from "Left-wing dictatorship" to this page even tho both terms are not the same. While the "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" is left-wing, not every left-wing dictatorship is Marxist, Marxist-Leninist or any variant of them. Juan Velasco Alvarado, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Muammar Gaddafi or Hugo Chávez are some examples of left-wing dictators that didn't followed Marxist-Leninist principles. Even in some cases they persecuted communists although they still supported left-leaning policies. I suggest to make another article for "Left-wing dictatorship" to contrast with this article.
