Working class executing CEOs that work against them

Ruling class executing CEOs who don't work for them

Slight difference

That's an anti-Marxist view of class. What is the "ruling class" you speak of in the PRC? Government isn't class, but an extension of the class in power, so which class is in power?

It's the latter part of "no god's no masters"

I'm sorry if I've insulted Marxist purity

You can be an Anarchist if you want to, but you should at least do so using actual analysis and not sloganeering.

There is never a case of a working class party conquering political power, that hasn't been demonized by western anti-communist society.

When the US and its media tells you that the leaders China or Cuba or Vietnam are just "dictators", why do you believe them?

Absolutely. Power is the difference. Vertical power structures all look the same. Call it communism, but those at the bottom are still ruled by those at the top. Instead give me some of that horizontal, bottom up power. No gods, no masters.
