You see what this demonstrates is not so much that he is a communist but that he is a complete economic illiterate. Employees are rewarded for the success of the company in accordance with their roles and responsibilities. For a great many employees their only deserved share of the revenue of the company is their salary. They should be provided a fair wage for a fair day's work. If not, they should quit and go elsewhere. For certain employees, their contribution is such that they are provided an additional incentive to work toward greater profits and are in a position to have that impact on said profitability. There are a myriad of schemes to do so like profit sharing, stock options, 401k matches, etc.

However, those decisions should be made by those who either place their capital at risk (I will broadly refer to them as shareholders) or those that are authorized by the shareholders to do so. If the shareholders elect not to share a dime of profits with employees that is their decision, not the government's. If that adversely impacts the performance of the company then the markets will punish them for those decisions. But it is neither the place nor the right for some economically illiterate community agitator to tell business how to do anything.
