The notion of "means of production" is not applicable to modern economy since now a simple computer can be "means of production" in the right hands, that's why modern states redistribute some percentage of produced goods, instead of trying to seize means of production. This redistribution still does lots of harm, but if we decide to not redistribute at all, we end up with a large number of people who are so unhappy that may agree to destroy everything as they don't have anything to lose (though usually it turns out they underestimate the amount of things they can lose), so to prevent this we may end up with ubi, as my unpopular comment above was suggesting.
