If the people are the true means of production, then wouldn't seizing the means of production mean slavery? 🤔

It's not slavery, the workers seize control over themselves.

Looking at soviet Russia and maoist China, no they don't.

Yeah but they were authotarian dictatorships, as communist ad DPRK is democratic or the NAZIs were socialist.

This is a comic about a politic theme and a conversion about said political theme. I don't understand your comment at all on why you don't want to talk about politics when you chose to participate in a political conversion.

"Means of production" means factories, fields and mines and shit. Bear in mind that was before digitalization, so now the meaning would be more broad.

Yeah. Today the means of production is your laptop!

Or even some proprietary SaaS shit that's irreplaceable for your work
