I mean workers could own the majority of company stocks and be the share holders in a twisted sense of communism.
Sort of along the same vein - as unions grew weak in Australia a different way to represent workers was needed. Industry Superannuation funds were created. Workers pay into these retirement funds which in turn invest in the companies. These funds now represent the investors interest in the companies the investors work at.
There are certain kinds of market socialism that are intended to work this way I think, still have companies and markets and the familiar structures of a capitalist system but turn all the companies into worker co-operatives
