Lenin's pamphlet was a bitter and mocking reply to Karl Kautsky's Die Diktatur des Proletariats (1918). In The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky, V. I. Lenin writes that Kautsky in his 1918 pamphlet The Dictatorship of the Proletariat distorted Karl Marx's and Friedrich Engels' ideas on democracy and its relation to socialism and revolution. He also writes that Kautsky uses "twaddle...to befog and confuse the issue", for example when talking about democracy under capitalism, instead of using the term "bourgeois democracy", a term which has clear class content, Kautsky instead uses the term "presocialist democracy." An important issue taken up Kautsky in his pamphlet was the dispersal of the Russian Constituent Assembly by the Bolsheviks.
