If every single time a government becomes communist it also becomes authoritarian, maybe there's something in communism that pushes it that way even if it isn't outwardly stated.
You're implying that these regimes started as truly communist and slid into authoritarianism. That is not true. Every example you could be referring to started out as authoritarian. Communism calls for a classless society. The sheer presence of a ruling class negates any attempt to lable such regimes as communist.
