CEOs and shareholders direct the investment in the company and workers have no say in either their future or the future of the company.
They could unionise but corporations have castrated this ability.
That's a typical capitalist setup in this global economic market.
Now imagine that a factory produces goods and the workers of that factory made the decisions on what to produce for the people. There's no competition because corporations competiting for marketshare don't exist, so the best technology is freely available to everyone (think open source everything).
The workers work at the factory because they choose to, producing goods for the world population based upon the needs of the people.
A communist system isn't Chairman Mao or Stalin sitting on a throne telling people what to do. Ditch your American propoganda and do some reading.
Start with Hengel, Marx, Chomsky and Adam Smith. Smith is particularly interesting as he is championed as being a father of modern capitalism. They quote him when arguing for free-markets, if you actually read The Wealth of Nations then you will know that Smith argued for tight reins to control a capitalist system.
The fact that these reins fail to stop capitalism from spiriling wildly out of control is why the system is doomed to fail. Deregulation bought by those wishing to profit will see the system crash over and over again.
