True, but while a General Secretary has more power than any other individual, they do not hold the absolute power that a monarch does. That's why General Secretary Stalin sometimes had his votes and decisions overruled.
I guess you're right. I just think that most people are thinking of absolute monarchies when they talk about monarchies, because that's how most European monarchies were before the French Revolution.
