I'm not sure about that. There is genuine value created by avoiding the need for a significant fraction of the world's airline pilots to use scarce and expensive simulators all at the same time, and Boeing's claim that they could pull it off would have been just as attractive under socialism. Too many people trusted that claim without verifying it, but wishful thinking is a pretty universal human trait, and I don't think that socialists are immune to it.
