The issue is that Boeing already is nationalized in the American sense. Boeing isn't even just a massive security contractor. Or one of the US's most historically profitable exports. It's a integral part of the actual US state, including and especially for all the shady shit it does behind it's public product of flying people places on the cheap.

The way people are just starting to think about Google or Facebook is what Boeing has been for over 50 years.

Don't get me wrong; if we're going to have lots of air travel it should absolutely be regulated, publicly controlled, and for broad benefit not profit. But the idea there would be a will or a way to break up the institution of Boeing and turn it toward the public good is like saying let's divide up the NSA as competing privacy advocates.
