It's not the government who would control the means of production, it's the workers. In theory they might use a vanguard party to seize it non-violently and then redistribute it, so in that case it may pass through the government's hands. But that's not the only way to seize the means of production. When properly done though, it would end up in the hands of the workers, every laborer owning their own tools and equipment so they can work for themselves instead of some faceless corporation.
