Distributism

>What is Distributism?
Distributism is the economic ideology that most of the world's productive assets should be widely owned instead of concentrated in the hands of a few capitalist or in the hands of the state. It was developed in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries based upon the principles of Catholic social teaching, especially the teachings of Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Rerum novarum (1891) and Pope Pius XI in Quadragesimo anno (1931). Distributism puts great emphasis on the principle of subsidiarity. This principle holds that no larger unit (whether social, economic, or political) should perform a function which can be performed by a smaller unit.

Distributism sees the family of two parents and their child or children as the central and primary social unit of human ordering and the principal unit of a functioning distributist society and civilization. This unit is also the basis of a multi-generational extended family, which is embedded in socially as well as genetically inter-related communities, nations, etc., and ultimately in the whole human family past, present and future. The economic system of a society should therefore be focused primarily on the flourishing of the family unit, but not in isolation: at the appropriate level of family context, as is intended in the principle of subsidiarity. Distributism reflects this doctrine most evidently by promoting the family, rather than the individual, as the basic type of owner; that is, distributism seeks to ensure that most families, rather than most individuals, will be owners of productive property. The family is, then, vitally important to the very core of distributist thought.

Distributism may be the best alternative to capitalism or socialism that we have. With the family at the center of society instead of the individual we remove the incentives for nations to self destruct with capitalism.

Sounds like communism

No it is not like communism. In communism there is no private property. You are allowed to own property in a distributist system.

This. Stop giving my shit to other people to decide what to do with it, it's all so tiresome.

Shameless self bump

So, your family can take everything from you, huh?

Sounds like banditry

You are still allowed to own shit in a distributist system. Private property and private businesses are still allowed. The difference between distributism and capitalism is that under distributism large megacorporations would not be allowed to exist.

No your family cannot take everything from you.

This isn't "means of production should be held in common", it's, "we should have more small businesses".

Megacorporations don't exist even today, and already can't in most capitalist societies. A megacorpororation is a vertical and horizontal monopoly.

I don't know what you want to call Alphabet and Amazon, but what ever you want call them they are threats to our freedom and our nations.

>>What is Distributism?
What is Communism.....

Literally kill yourself. Like actually commit suicide right now.

Nigger communism hates the family and private property. Distributism favors both.

It is one step away from communism. Not all communism is about eliminating private poverty. Distributism is basically Syndicalism except with a 19th century worldview instead of a 20th century worldview.

Distributism: everyone has their own small enterprise. (outdated concept)

Syndicalism: everyone owns a share of the enterprise they work for.

>large megacorporations would not be allowed to exist
The problem is that such entities make financial and economic sense. They are far more efficient than anything they replaced. For example Walmart is magnitudes more efficient than a 100 mom&pop shops.
The problem is that the accumulation of power results in corruption.

You know how you accomplish this? Separate the countries into small ethnic communities with a general policy of very high tolls that's negotiated on demand. EZ, ALL WORLD PROBLEMS FIXED, THANK ME LATER.

>Distributism: everyone has their own small enterprise. (outdated concept)
With 3d printers and CNC machines it could be feasible in the modern world.

It's communism with extra steps. Peasant land reform only worked in societies escaping feudalism+ like the Asian economies.

How is it communism when we have private property?

what about socialist state corproatism-with a twist! ?

>socialist state corproatism-with a twist! is the economic ideology that believes that capitalism is the one true way the world works, but that its vision is too restrictive
>unlike ancaps, it does not believe in the nap, and instead views all manners of economical gain as fair game
>this ideology also places all the ressources of a nation in the hands of the state, forming all powerful corporation with no degree of independence from said state
>the state will use this corporatist system to wage unfair economical warefare on its oponents, attempting to create a multinational and even global monopoly, the assets of which are still held and owned by the nation state
>the state will use the leftovers of this massive financial dominion as extensive welfare, creating utopian living conditions for the people, essentially stealing all the money from the rest of the nations, enpoverishing them, and increasing the power of the state.

this isn't an 'alternative to capitalism or socialism', and it's not some middle ground or limited-case admixture, it's just one tiny part of the core of free market economic theory that you've cut out and capitalized. everyone who understands free market economic theory is 'distributist'. you don't have economizing and innovating competition without an adequate degree of distribution. the difference between different strains of free market thought is how/when/if to take tyrannical market correction action to preserve that competition, versus continuing to trust in eventual self-correction.

if you want a snowflake economic ideology, i'd suggest geoism, which is perhaps the best example of case-limited socialist/capitalist admixture.

the neo-conservative nonsense about family as the atom of society is fucking stupid and just reveals anyone advocating it as a hipster college-conservative.

So if I wanted to start a business in a distributist system could I?

Yes you could.

>You are still allowed to own shit in a distributist system
>It's just that we'll be able to stole you

You really think companies like Alphabet, Amazon, and Walmart should be allowed to exist? These companies are too dangerous to be allowed to exist.
