Not to be That Guy, but collectively owning a company isn’t necessarily socialism. Distributism believes in collective ownership as well.

But I doubt this guy knows that.

The only acceptable form of Distributism

Christians should return to the principles of Distributism instead of hyperfixating on hating minorities while their world burns down around them.

Greed makes good actions expensive. I'm personally for #distributism or wealth limit. Once you reach a certain amount of money you should settle.

Now I wonder if this test has Chesterton's "Distributism" as a possible answer.

IT DOES
Distributism Doctrine of Christian inspiration that advocates the wide distribution of property and small-scale production, opposing both monopoly capitalism and state socialism in favor of autonomous communities. Portrait of G. K. Chesterton Key figure G. K. Chesterton Writer · 1874–1936 Flag: United Kingdom Reference country United Kingdom Liberal-financial monarchy “ In one sentence I want communities of small autonomous owners, with widely distributed property, rejecting monopoly capitalism and the socialist state. This is how someone from Distributism would sum up the society they want.

Lorenz has become another example of Mr. G from the famous essay by Dorothy Thompson "Who Goes Nazi?": "...he will never be anything. His brain operates quite apart from the rest of his apparatus. He will certainly be able, however, fully to explain and apologize for Nazism if it ever comes along."
Mr. G is a very intellectual young man who was an infant prodigy. He has been concerned with general ideas since the age of ten and has one of those minds that can scintillatingly rationalize everything. I have known him for ten years and in that time have heard him enthusiastically explain Marx, social credit, technocracy, Keynesian economics, Chestertonian distributism, and everything else one can imagine. Mr. G will never be a Nazi, because he will never be anything. His brain operates quite apart from the rest of his apparatus. He will certainly be able, however, fully to explain and apologize for Nazism if it ever comes along. But Mr. G is always a “deviationist.” When he played with communism he was a Trotskyist; when he talked of Keynes it was to suggest improvement; Chesterton’s economic ideas were all right but he was too bound to Catholic philosophy. So we may be sure that Mr. G would be a Nazi with purse-lipped qualifications. He would certainly be purged.

I’m repurposing this page to focus more on Distributism, Liberation Theology, and my life at the Catholic Worker. If any of my Friends wish to unfollow, I completely understand.

We don’t need either one—state socialism
or state capitalism. We need bottom-up,
human-scale, small-is-beautiful economics
as if people mattered.

We need a democratic economics of the people, by the people, for the people.

They leverage existing property rights, contract law, and federalism to immediately decentralize economic power. Social Ecology and Guild Socialism offer radical democratic participation but necessitate altering parliamentary systems-shifting representation from geographic districts to civic assemblies or industrial guilds.

tip for life: any politician or political party that claim they've found some form of governance or politics that doesn't fit into the left-right economic continuum is either dangerously stupid or lying

Yes this is about distributism

I'm all hyped up from Wendell Berry's memorial service (held alone in my home) and ready to shout at someone about distributism!

Hey Princey. I support Distributism blended with socialism. I'm quite happy with my choices, my friend. I really don't know why you're so pissed off, though.

This would be a little about what I talked about, but Distributism, as is, still lacks the safety nets that socialism can bring to the system. So, a step closer to a better system than we currently work under, but not far enough.

Dorothy Thompson described it well in August 1941 —including the role of the “contrarian” intellectuals in helping normalize fascism until no longer needed:

(I probably need to brush up on Catholic social teaching and, in particular, Chesterton and distributism. Without tripping over too many far right tradcaths. Ora pro me...!)

Distributism is literally just “what if we were all just little fat hobbits :) and nobody got to have too much stuff and we all held hands and went to church” it’s like some shit your little cousin would come up with in her 2nd grade class with some schoolmarm cheerily praising it
