Rather than seizing money and capital why not just make the automation affordable for everyone? That's what's worked in the past with washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, electric ovens, furnaces, cars, power tools, etc. All of those are labour saving devices that have replaced backbreaking physical work that everyone used to have to do on a daily basis. Instead of seizing the means of production you should be designing and selling the means of production to the largest possible audience. With cheap computation and electronics it's now possible to set up a small partially automated factory at home. Wasn't that literally the dream of past communists? The workers having ownership of the means of production and reaping all the rewards of their labour?
