If we're going full Mao, we'd be remiss if we didn't note that their plan for industry during the cultural revolution was "the proletariat will own small smelting operations next to their house". It checks out ideologically, workers controlling the means of production.. it just didn't work in reality.

Reminds me a lot of the thought process around having more manufacturing in the US by slapping tariffs around.
