Communism is a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society. You’re thinking of Socialist states that tried to work towards eventually achieving Communism. Far left politics is about collective ownership, not necessarily state ownership.
Worker ownership and collective ownership are basically the same thing. Worker Ownership of a factory would look like all of the workers sharing equal ownership of said factory.
Okay, I can see that make sense as a definition of Communism. Communism as worker/collective ownership, and Socialist State as a governed effort to implement or progress toward that.
