If you can buy stocks in a business in that nation then they are not communist or even trying to pursue Marxism.

If you are able to pay people money for investing and not doing any work for said business then the workers are not in any way in control of the means of production.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

None that are actually communism.
