Centralized health care is the antithesis of distributism. Distributism would be every doctor acting independently; every person providing their own health coverage.
Distributism in education would be home schooling.
Distributism in national defense would be a heavily armed citizenry.
What needs to be said, first and foremost about this article in the absolute error that is made by the statement there are ANY similarities between OWS and the Tea Party. The two are like night and day. And there are no REAL similarities at all.
That being said, distributism has much more in common with Christian principles and subsidiarity than any other form of sociological approach to economics. In fact, I think F.A Hayak would tell us that it fits the model of “Free Markets” better than anything else.
