Let’s immediately acknowledge that the title is lighthearted, and that “communist company” is an oxymoron. The better choice would’ve been, “which is the most worker-owned, egalitarian, power-structures-free cooperative?”, which SEO experts told me was too long of a title. With that said, let me tell you about Igalia and other tech cooperatives
I remember Huawei claimed that its employees owned the company. It would be nice to have a list of these “kind of odd” companies
Indeed they do

So this Mr Ren is the founder? How did they get to that? They’ve got a lot less employee owners than total employees?
Mr Ren is the founder, and the company was started as a cooperative as I recall. The total size of the company is 207,000 people, but typically people have to work at a company for a bit before becoming part of the cooperative. Hence why there non owner members.
