Honestly, what would the Left do if they actually had control of the means of production? The last thing they want is to produce. They want the proletariat to produce while their labor funds the academic class.

Important question would be: What is the means of production?

You can have the grandest factory in the history of the world, and it won't do a thing without skilled engineers and workers to drive the machinery. The grandest factory in the history of the world also will become the worst factory on the planet if you let it remain static and don't have the innovation and skill of the people making it better. A chunk of steel is meaningless without craftsmen to make it something worthwhile.

Therefore, to "seize the means of production" is in fact to seize the people. History proves this to be true.
