But it's not like companies or business entities won't have folks in charge of them under communism... Someone has to run the whatevers...

Ideally, supervision over most non critical sectors would fall to randomly drafted, single term committees of the people, think jury duty except better compensated and obviously with bureaucratic resources available to enable these committees to fulfil their role adequately.

Now this isn't suited for everything, but in either system any true oversight is done by the people, not the state.

You already trust these people today. They run/own many large corporations today which dramatically affect our lives in multitude of ways. Except today we can't get remove them from these positions of power under the current system.

It's thanks to this in part that your aunt keeps indulging her imaginary pain when she thinks about your lifestyle.
