The revolution. One of the necessary lessons from the Paris Commune is that you can't simply lay hold of the Means of Production, but must replace the Bourgeois state with a Proletarian one. By taking control of the state, the Proletariat can wrest from the Bourgeoisie their Capital and begin producing along a common plan for the good of all.

You can't just sieze production in Punxsutawney without doing so nationally, at the federal level. Otherwise, the state will come in and break up the rising worker movement with force, as it has done many times in the past.
