And no, that is not how anything works. Lots of materials we use these days are very rare, only found in specific countries or require very specialist (and rare) factories to refine. This means that if we need specific materials there simply is no way to get it locally.
Same with building certain technologies. Want to have computers with those 7nm chips? Good luck. you’ll need thousand of specialist engineers, highly refined source materials, boat loads of other suppliers, highly specific machines that are able to create your chips that basically are produced by a world monopoly at the moment (hello ASML!)

The main relationship that defines capitalism is the relationship between employee versus employer, or worker versus boss.
Without bosses, we still trade resources, and we still create products
