So, by that definition, all publicly traded corporations are communist :) I mean, significant part of their shares is traded on stock exchanges and owned by anonymous members of proletariat :)
EDIT: Also, think about all those Silicon Valley companies that pay their employees in stock options. Marx would be proud :)
