Technically communists are supposed to have elections. The choice between candidates is limited to communists however, so that either way a communist will take office. In some communist countries only registered party members may vote, further limiting the voice of the people. In practice many communist countries do not bother with elections ( ie Cuba, North Korea).

Whether or not an election is held is not determined by how communistic a government is.

Some Communists believe in open elections, some Communists believe in a single leader, and other Communists do not believe in an operable government.

What kind of ruler was Joseph Stalin?

His ruling style was communist. Communists typically are not elected or do have elections but no not allow others onto the ballot. Communists use propaganda and control of the media in order to keep order. They will use harsh punishment tactics and even genocide to keep law. All threats are to be eliminated immediately. Communists have large military force. They also use extreme force to enforce they're laws and policies. Communists are ruthless by today's standards and will go to extreme measures to accomplish their goals. Most people say communists have little to no value of the individual human life.
