I am not sure where that quote comes from but this language is virtually indistinguishable from several different Distributism websites describing and promoting Distributism.
This is exactly what gets Distributists in trouble and what gets them falsely labeled as socialists.
The acceptance of hard left language - its actually grotesque.
It was written:
“””””...........owned by everyday citizens rather than concentrated in the hands of a wealthy few (capitalism)..........”””””
That sentence describes corporatism, not capitalism. Capitalism is free markets, not concentrated holdings. So either the Distributist supporters writing this are (1) ill-informed, which bodes poorly for what would incentivize anybody to listen to the ignorant or (2) flat out stupid, which does not bode well for them in any capacity, or (3) agenda driven and simply do not care to get things correct even if it means siding with socialists on critical details.
Distributists might gain more support if they stopped embracing the left’s idiotic talking points and setting out distinctly to say “those guys are nuts, we’re not like them.”
Emblems used by medieval German guilds and corporations, displaying various symbols related to their professions Corporatism Ideologies Ideas People Literature Organizations Related articles icon Politics portal vte Corporatism is a political ideology and political system of interest representation and policymaking whereby corporate groups, such as agricultural, labour, military, business, scientific, or guild associations, come together and negotiate contracts or policy (collective bargaining) on the basis of their common interests. The term is derived from the Latin corpus, or "body".Corporatism does not refer to a political system dominated by large business interests, even though the latter are commonly referred to as "corporations" in modern American vernacular and legal parlance. Instead, the correct term for that theoretical system would be corporatocracy.
Corporatism developed during the 1850s in response to the rise of classical liberalism and Marxism, and advocated cooperation between the classes instead of class struggle. Adherents of diverse ideologies, including economic liberalism, fascism, and social democracy, have advocated for corporatist models. Corporatism became one of the main tenets of Italian fascism, and Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime in Italy advocated the total integration of divergent interests into the state for the common good. However, the more democratic neo-corporatism often embraced tripartism.
