I'm interested in distributism
See, I don't hate private property. It's always existed and it should always exist. However, there was something we lost with Capitalism that we had in the middle ages.
Fascist corporatism hasn't been used in the last 50 or so years.
The closest we have gotten since then is social democracy
Was it perfect? No of course not, but it was arguably better than capitalism.
Arguably so
I mean, I'm no economist, but people seemed happier before capitalism. Back then, people had private property, but it wasn't a cashgrab free for all. Standards for trade were a given, and you had guilds to moderate the skilled tradesmen. It was also less centralized, everthing was. You didn't have to worry about multi-national coporations controlling everything.
What seems like a good option to me is the decentralization of distributism. We don't go for any kind of socialism, but we decentralize as much as we can. More local businesses, more co-ops, and more family owned small businesses.
And when you need factories, they ought to be locally owned and controlled.
Capitalism has never really been started, it was just labeled as such in the industrial period
I think that's as silly as saying "Communism has never been tried." We know it hasn't been achieved, but it sure as Hell as been tried.
Well then you didn't get what I said
Well it seems like you're claiming we never had capitalism.
Nope
I'm saying it had no fixed start, you said people seemed happier before capitalism but when was that?
What marks, to you, the start of capitalism?
The Industrial revolution seems to be a vague start, but it's like the Renaissance, there's no hard start.
I'd argue it started much earlier, around the 16th to 17th century, and banking clans can be traced back all the way to the 14th century
But the industrial revolution was the beginning of the capitalism we know today
Banks gay lol
Point is, it has played a part in destroying traditional society.
Yes
Anyways, when i get off from work i will continue this. State socialism can be socialism, but state ownership of property in and of itself is not, an assumption that this arguments rests upon
>state socialism
