Ironically, this is exactly what communism exists to fight.
Thus we invented advanced concepts to avoid this- like - everyone holds there breath- taxes to milk corroding power accumulating back into the system as a whole - and parliament democracy, which basically consists out of a bonemill for wanna-be dictators, grinding one another to dust in a weapon less fight for power.
Or maybe try moving away from corporations and towards cooperatives.
Problem is, making coops popular requires ambition and dedication from the workers, because there will no capitalist looking to make a profit to jumpstart the business.
...You do know that communism advocates for a society where control is something done in collaboration with others? Because China, or the USSR calls itself communist does not mean it is. A simple reading of Marx & Engels' work would clarify that.
