means of production

The capital, infrastructural and natural, and the factors of products MINUS financial capital and the workers. Simply put, the financial capital is NOT a mean of production because no matter how much money someone has, only he who owns a factory can process natural goods and make e.g. food to eat and survive.

Factories, transport ships and airplanes... Also the media.

Seize the means of production

Not to be confused with "Seize the means of reproduction," to seize the means of production means to go after, and/or get what you want after some work. Usually if your doing something big in your life, or in general.

Go get that shit!

You: After college, I can't wait found my company that's inspired Microsoft, named Megahard.
Best friend: Aww man that's a great idea! Seize the means of production my man!
