Seize the Means of Production
Origin
In 1867’s Das Kapital, Karl Marx wrote that should a laborer “own (his) means of production, and was satisfied to live as a labourer, he need not work beyond beyond the time necessary for the reproduction of his means of subsistence, say 8 hours a day.” The full phrase “seize the means of production” first appeared in black activist W. E. B. DuBois’ posthumous autobiography published in 1968, when he wrote that he considered himself a communist:

“It is a historical fact that blacks were brought to this country for the profit of the ruling class which at the time were landowners. They needed someone to till the soil and grow profitable crops. Today we have shifted from an agrarian economy to a goods-production economy. But the same relationships exist between the private owner and the worker. Nothing has changed. Therefore, for working people to be free, they must seize control of the means of production.”
