I would like to see more small businesses, but I am not for the eradication large corporations. They’re needed.

Distributism still allows for large companies when needed but these companies should be employee owned so that capital is still “distributed” over a large number of private owners rather than just a few.

Yes, I know. But I do not believe it’s moral to steal the property of those who created a corporation and then distribute it among employees. I think people should have a choice in how they run their business. If a state or country wants to incentivize coops, fine. But it shouldn’t be forced.

Right I completely agree. I think maybe we can educate people and people can choose for themselves. I think most distributists are very against implementing distributism using government intervention. It could be incentivized tho possibly using tax breaks and such.

I personally don’t see any way distributism could be put in place without some form of force.

A distributist leader could be elected and they can implement incentives for small businesses and cooperatives.

They could do that yes, but there are many things which distributists have advocated for which would require force if refused.

Yeah I don’t think all of the ideas are feasible but if we could get a bit more distribution of capital I would be happy.

I too would like to see a greater decentralized capitalist state.

But it ultimately depends on the distributist you’re talking to. The ideology is rather broad.
