We ought to seize all the top companies.

They're just holding companies. They don't make anything. They don't produce anything. They just bleed off a kick, like a mob boss, and use those gains to amass political power.

Seize them all and use the assets (and annual profits) to fund American society.

Absolutely.

Take their wealth by force.

No thanks, BP and Saudi Aramco already prop up the US enough.
