One precludes the other from happening in the first place though. If the means of production are publicly owned, then the problem of capital accumulation goes away entirely.

But if you only just now seize them, the rich still have all the money and personal property they already accumulated.

Yes, which you can appropriate by siezing control. The Proletarian State can oppress the bourgeoisie the same way the bourgeoisie oppresses the poletariat.
