"seize the means of production" as if that's an easy/good thing to do. then what, the employees own the company? and they get paid depending on company profitability? well, not every company turns a profit. what if the company has a bad year? will the employees go hungry? who says that it will turn a profit next year?

Then the employees decide what to do themselves in those situations. If it fails it fails, but they would be laid off or not be making money even if they didn't own the company because their boss wouldn't be able to pay them.
