Seize the mean of production

These days I see it as a shorthand, a metaphor for dismantling the system of resource hoarding so that we can more equitably distribute it - let the world consume what the elite have hoarded.

It’s also sort of a joke that reduces them to use value.

Seize their assets, distribute them amongst those who need them, persecute and punish them for the atrocities their greed has wrought.
