A) The means of production are already seized by the people and have been since FDR. Who owns Disney? Google? Amazon? Exxon? Pfizer? Lockheed?
B) You've been living in a totalitarian state your entire life. The only thing that has changed is that the mind control machine is becoming visible, which is a whitepill because that means it is dying.
Collapse, Caesarian renewal, or petrification. If I had a more precise answer, I'd be Emperor of America by now.
I doubt anyone currently in the public eye could do it. It'll be someone who is utterly ruthless with a personal understanding of violence.
What do you mean " seized by the people" ?
Every publicly traded company, and even many private ones, is owned by the People.
That gets to the question of what it means to own something. Sure, you can make a nickle per $1 billion of profit if you own stonks, but try telling the company what to do. You will be met with inertia. If Fink and the gang tell it what to do, it will stand at attention. Who is the owner?
The owners have no power. The people who manage it do. The old bugeoisie derived power from ruling their physical companies as kings. The proletariat is dependent on a company or other organization to pay them for their services. There is no longer a bugeois class; they have been replaced by a managerial class that is a proletarianized elite, including Fink. We live under a dictatorship of the proletariat where the people own the means of production.
seize as in seizure, (it has destroyed production)
