How are people treated in communism?
In true Communism everyone is to be socially and economically equal. There was to be no Hierarchies of Religion, Government or Capitalism. Everything was controlled by the people and no one was to be better than another person.
Communism has never existed in the real world as state socialism is the closest anyone came to creating communism. In these societies people are oppressed by the Government which attempts to make everyone equal, under their puppet strings.
What is the leader called in communism?
Communist states have had various names for their leaders. The leader of a communist state is usually called Chairman, as in the Chairman of the government. He was usually also the General Secretary of the Communist Party, which is the leader of the party. In communist states, the leader of the party was usually also the leader of the government. Leaders of communist countries often hold multiple positions.
Today only Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, North Korea, and China are officially led by communist parties.

Communism is a social structure in which classes are abolished and property is commonly controlled, as well as a political philosophy and social movement that advocates and aims to create such a society.[1]
Karl Marx, the father of communist thought, posited that communism would be the final stage in society, which would be achieved through a proletarian revolution and only possible after a socialist stage develops the productive forces, leading to a superabundance of goods and services.[2][3]
"Pure communism" in the Marxian sense refers to a classless, stateless and oppression-free society where decisions on what to produce and what policies to pursue are made democratically, allowing every member of society to participate in the decision-making process in both the political and economic spheres of life. In modern usage, communism is often used to refer to the policies of the various communist states, which were authoritarian governments that had centrally planned economies and ownership of all the means of production. Most communist governments based their ideology on Marxism-Leninism.
As a political ideology, communism is usually considered to be a branch of socialism, a broad group of economic and political philosophies that draw on various political and intellectual movements with origins in the work of theorists of the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution.[4] Communism attempts to offer an alternative to the problems with the capitalist market economy and the legacy of imperialism and nationalism.
Marx states that the only way to solve these problems is for the working class (proletariat), who according to Marx are the main producers of wealth in society and are exploited by the Capitalist-class (bourgeoisie), to replace the bourgeoisie as the ruling class in order to establish a free society, without class or racial divisions.[1] The dominant forms of communism, such as Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism and Trotskyism are based on Marxism, as well as other forms of communism (such as Luxemburgism and Council communism), but non-Marxist versions of communism (such as Christian communism and Anarchist communism) also exist.
Karl Marx never provided a detailed description as to how communism would function as an economic system, but it is understood that a communist economy would consist of common ownership of the means of production, culminating in the negation of the concept of private ownership of capital, which referred to the means of production in Marxian terminology.
This is one definition of "socialism."
The social extension is called "communism" in that a classless society shares equally the responsibility and benefits of production.
To determine if revolutions are good or bad, one has to think of what happened before the revolution and what came after. If it benefits the people, it is a good thing.
What is Developmental Republicanism?

The Struggle for Democracy by Greenberg page?
The Struggle for Democracy is a political science book written by Edward Greenberg and Benjamin Page.
It is interesting to note, however, one of the previous questions asking if it was a struggle between democracy and communism.
This book, to some extent, is related to a struggle between democracy and communism. I can assure you that Greenberg and Page express and support communist ideologies throughout this book. They say, for example, that the American newsmedia by the end of the 90s were focusing their attention on the sexual scandal between President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, rather than focusing on the visit of Pope John Paul II to Cuba. Even though the scandal between Clinton and Lewinsky was not a major issue that the media had to focus on, I believe that the visit of a pope to a communist country should not be a great newspaper headline as Greenberg and Page suggested at that time.
But there is something that sounds contradictory. This book also shows an illustration of a watchdog watching inside a politician private home, suggesting that politicians must be judged more for their private life rather that for what they do inside the Congress.
