"A social movement that would directly occupy the workshops and the factories. Capitalism is abandoning many productive forces, because they are no longer profitable, but they are still capable of functioning effectively"
That won't work. Imagine you've occupied a factory, and it needs a 20 $ worth of oil to produce a shirt. Meanwhile you can only sell that shirt for 15 $.
You can think of most things around us as of made from oil (i. e. energy). Once you spend more energy than you can buy after selling your wares, you are bankrupt. This is why deindustrialization happen and why you can't overcome it by snapping fingers.
