Don’t be pedantic; that’s what ruined Reddit in the first place.

What does “means of production” even mean in 2025? It’s not like we all work in a shoe factory
Something that produces goods or services.
For example, a musician makes music as a service, and that music can be made into a commodity either with a packaged good such as a book of sheet music or a method of storing the music (a file or disc), or you can sell tickets to hear the music.
Im a condo superintendent, so I don’t really produce anything. I just look at your leaky roof, nod and call a guy.
So the condo association here is the ‘means of production’ since they’re providing housing services. Ideally, it’d be owned by the workers (who would ideally also be condo owners) and they’d split any profits evenly.
I write software. The software that I write don’t belong to me. The owner of the software I write makes money of it. It’s “means of production” and the product itself simultaneously.
