Marx and Engels proposed that when a true Communist society emerged, it would be stateless and classless.
China is a republic, and is not Communist. Communism means a classless stateless society based on production for use, and would have to exist at a global level.
Karl Marx is considered the father of modern Communist theory. It is grounded in economics and critique of capitalism. He didn't speculate on what a communist society would be like (post-revolutionary society) so he cannot be considered a utopian philosopher and his Communist theory cannot be considered utopian. He was certainly not a fascist.
A classless society can be brought about in Europe without a violent revolution.
There are many controversial issues that would arise if Romeo and Juliet was to be acted with an all male cast in our present day society. Some might argue that the exclusion of women from the play is misogyny.
There would be no ruler in a "communist government" to use the terms of this question. This is because under true communism there would be no government at all. It would have withered away and disappeared as being unnecessary. The various industries in the economy would be run by administrators for the benefit of the entire society rather than individual profit. The "proletariat" or working class would not be the rulers, because communism would be a classless society. The terms "proletariat" and "bourgeoisie" refer to social classes and even these would have been wiped out under communism.Prior to the true communist society and immediately after the overthrow of capitalism, society would go through a period of socialism, which would be ruled by a democratically elected "dictatorship of the proletariat."The proletariat, that is the workers who own nothing but the right to sell their own labor, would be rulers after the overthrow of the capitalist sytem, but NOT in a communist government.There would be no ruler in a "communist government" to use the terms of this question.

Hobbes believed that an absolute ruler with strong centralized power was best for society, as he argued that this would prevent the chaos and conflict that arise from individual self-interest. This ruler would provide security and maintain order, reducing the state of nature where life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
Most notably was the withering away of the State.
The countries which today are officially run by a Communist party today are: People's Republic of China, North Korea, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, Nepal, Belarus, and Russia. So there are still 8 communist countries.Technically they are not communist because....Communism is not where there's a leader/dictator. Communism is about ZERO government. The moment you add government, it's not longer communist. Countries such as North Korea are not even communistic. If you break down what they're doing piece by piece, they are NOT communist. You do get the chance to choose your future in a communist society. You do get human rights, way more than you would ever get in a capitalist society. You do get free speech, way more than you would ever get in a capitalist society.
