That's one theory at least. The entire issue with the concept is precisely that people take Marxist-Leninist philosophy as dogma, rather than just a specific data point in a much broader modernist political history. There are many brands of socialism which reject this thinking and hold that autocracy is not a way to liberate anyone. It's just that leftist spaces on the internet tend to be hostile to this idea because it denies them the edgy fan service they crave.
