Communists here cheer on socialist countries and communist parties partially because they've made massive strides in democratizing their economies, bringing it under the people's control. No socialist system in history has been so lopsided as to hinge entirely on one person, there are obviously leaders in socialist countries but they don't have the kind of omnipotence nor omnipresence your comment implies.
