Cause Stalin was an autocratic douchebag who used people for his own power games?

Doesn't really have a whole lot to do with communism, though.

So there was more than one autocrat in charge? Like... some sort of... oligarchy or something?

You need more than a dozen or so "leaders" for communism... or, to be accurate, you need none.

Those leaders were all elected, as were all but the lowest level of the communist party. Nearly every communist party is structured this way.

Boy, tankies will pull out everything to defend an authoritarian regime that killed millions.

Citing the CIA as a source is fucking hilarious but no amount of explaining would help you understand why.
