Let's do some simple historical material analysis to find the correct answer.

Marx and Marx*? Epic stache bros (and beards to go along with it)

Lenin? You guessed it, a great mustache.

Stalin? By God, look at that glorious stache.

Krushev? No stache!

Gorbachev? Stacheless.

Mao? Where is the hair?!

To further prove the rule:

Castro? You guessed it, stached and bearded.

Ho-Chi? Rockin a nice stache.

Edit: Marx and Engels*

Not everyone is able to grow a sick moustache like Stalin sadly

It's not the ~~beard~~ stache on the outside that counts, it's the ~~beard~~ stache on the inside solidarity

To grow ostentatious facial hair, that's not liberalism I guess but it's a hassle and kinda burgeois decadence if you squint really hard

Sounds like Mao was trapped in a Maoist cult.

Mao had the means and ability but chose not to out of respect for the mass line.

Mao had a sweet haircut, which has to count for something.

Khrushchev on the other hand... what is this non-hair revisionism?!
