    You can be killed with steel, which has a lot of other implications on what you do in order to avoid getting killed with steel.

    Does steel fuck it all up?

    Centralization is a shitty backwards idea. But you have to be very conscious of yourself and your instincts to neuter the part that tells you that it’s not to understand it.

    Distributivism minus Catholicism is just so good. I always return to it when I give up on trying to find future in some other political ideology.

        Of leftist ideologies it’s the best one, but not as beautiful and overarching as distributivism.

      List of Distributist parties in the UK:

      • National Distributist Party
      • British National Party
      • National Front

      Hmmm, maybe the Catholic part isn’t the only part worth reviewing.

      Also worth noting that the Conservative Party’s ‘Big Society’ schtick in 2010 was wrapped in the trappings of distributism.

      Not that all this diminishes it entirely but it does seem to be an entry drug for exploitation by the right.

      I gotta hold my hand up and state that I am not read up on it at all, so happy to be corrected. But my impression is that Pope Leo XIII’s conception was to reduce secular power so as to leave a void for the church to fill. And it’s the potential exploitation of that void that attracts the far right too.

        Well, it is a right ideology. It can be that, of course.
