There has never been a communist state just as there has never been a free market. These are theories that do not exist in the real world. "Marxists respond to this by pointing out that the socialist state must always be a democratic one, and that it "withers away" by assigning increasing amounts of its power directly to the people (power that was previously held by the people's elected representatives in government). In other words, socialism fades into communism when the representative democracy of socialism fades into the direct democracy of communism." en.wikipedia.org Where in this is a dictator? Where is the authoritarianism? Aside from a government on the path to a communist utopia, people are supposed to direct themselves in a fair and civilized manner. As I said, it's a theory. :)
