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

What does “means of production” even mean

In Marxist theory, the "means of production" refers to the physical inputs used to produce goods and services. This includes things like tools, machinery, land, raw materials, and factories. Essentially, it's everything needed to carry out the process of production, excluding human labo

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.

Ah, Landlords aren't the evil capitalist class then. They're just a worker that owns the means of production and splits the profits evenly with themselves.

Maybe there's a terminology problem, but I thought each condo unit was individually owned? Like, if you've got a tower block, and everybody owns their own domicile within it, it's a condo, but if they're owned by a landlord and rented out, it's an apartment.

And here I thought this wasn't Reddit

It's less "Not Reddit" every day, sadly
