then breaking boeing up would distribute the wealth in a manner that would alleviate the contradictions in capitalism enough to give the workers enough treats to not rebel

I don't know if that's really true though. It didn't happen when they broke up Bell Telephone.

I don't know what the unionization level was like at Bell before the anti trust decision, but it's certainly the case today that things are worse. The CWA is still present but I don't think they have a lot of leverage.

I honestly don't even think the breakup of Bell was good for consumers. It might have led to some technical innovations but I don't know if prices really came down that much.

The gist of what I’m try to say is that there is an option here that is the best for capitalism to continue existing and usually that option has some concessions for the workers/consumers/ect and we should not pick that option as we need to do full fucking communism full throttle straight into that brick wall saying capitalism and we got to smash through it even if everyone in the car dies.
