The Marx quote is
"Therefore, for working people to be free, they must seize control of the means of production."
Marx is explicit about a class here, the working class, and implicit about who it should be seized from. His full oeuvre is not implicit though and is quite clear that it is the capitalist class it should be seized from. The term seizing the means of production has for 150 years been widely understood as a call or reference to class struggle. Missing the framing of class in the title is a misreading.
