"Seizing the Means of Production" is a reference to Marx, who had many things to say about class tension, such as "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles".

Not only is the title a deliberate Marx reference, the article itself is about an elitist government banning lower-class entertainment.

"This title is misleading because this article is about something I don't understand. I assumed that since the source was a literary magazine, this must have been about radical open source software, which has nothing to do with class tensions."
