it means stealing

Leftists don't even fucking know what it means dude, the USSR isn't even "true communist" to these retards

Yeah, but what do they actually DO?

this

they take the tools rich people use to make things they sell

'this' was meant for

Like what?
Robots?
The actual hammers and shit?
Wouldn't there still be someone running it all?
Surely they don't mean "Lets all do our own shit and eventually we will get something done."

The idea is that, because capital's contribution to a business venture is fixed, it becomes a smaller and smaller part of the real value of that business over time, until finally the value added by the labor totally eclipses anything the capital ever did for it. After a certain breakpoint, it can be reasonably argued that the investors, which often didn't contribute to the business in any way at all and just bought a real owner's stake at some point in the distant past, are stealing from the workers, who do not get paid wages remotely representative of their importance to the businesses' continued operation.

"Seizing the means of production" can mean many things, but what it is traditionally constructed to mean, in the context of revolutionary marxism, is the forcible appropriation of assets by the unionized body of workers. Labor declares it will not be stolen from any longer, and sells its products for itself, without giving a cut to their old boss.

And then they fuck that nice idea all up with vanguard parties and other dumb bullshit, because communists are fucking stupid as shit and don't realize that statism is statism and it will always be a plutocratic oligarchy no matter how you fucking dress it up.

means make memes to control the menses of the mass of the individuals
IE collective unconscious repeat ideas until they get understood or remembered
