There haven't been any communist leaders, There's no such thing as a communist leader. In a communist society everyone is equal and therefore no particular person leads.

That's not true... re-read your Marx and Engles.
"Between capitalist and communist society lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. Corresponding to this is also a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat."
The "everyone is equal" part doesn't come until generations under a brutal authortiarian dictatorship.  This is because.... according to them... it wouldn't work.  People aren't built for communism due to society.  They need to be broken down and changed until human culture itself is very different.

Which can't happen unless the world is under a brutal communist dictatorship.  Since otherwise, all the talented people will flee for communism.

It's all in the communist manifesto.  Stalin very much IS a communist leader.  He's the kind of communist leader "true" communism can't exist without... the "lower" level communist leader.

Wow. 

I knew most of that, but I didn't know about the part where they knew full well people would try to flee communist nations en masse. 

No wonder the USSR was so hot to get more revolutions going.  Their ideology REQUIRES world domination. 

Marx was a very smart man.  He knew it was more then just the bourgeoisie that was the problem, but society itself. 

Of course... one wonders if he would still feel the same way today.  It's a common sociological essay question... because Marx could of never forseen things such as unions, universal healthcare and various welfare systems being not only legal but widely accepted by the government.
