If the people are the true means of production, then wouldn't seizing the means of production mean slavery? ๐Ÿค”

It's not slavery, the workers seize control over themselves.

This is a comic about a politic theme and a conversion about said political theme. I don't understand your comment at all on why you don't want to talk about politics when you chose to participate in a political conversion.

"Means of production" means factories, fields and mines and shit. Bear in mind that was before digitalization, so now the meaning would be more broad.
