Of course "seizing the means of production" would be a useless folly... without production. The whole goal of Marxist thought was not to SHUT DOWN the factories, it was to run those factories so that society as a whole would benefit from the profits (rather than the small group of wealthy people that provided the seed capital). Nowhere did the idea of "antiwork" enter the lexicon. It's always been a question of: "Who benefits from your work?"
