I used to work for a company that has saw mills, and they weren't even pretending. They wrote right in the company newsletter that they were taking production offline to raise prices.

Distributism seems to be like capitalism where many individuals own the productive assets instead of concentrating them in the hands of just a few.
I could get behind that tbh. Higher risks for the individual but more freedom for more people.
I'm not saying you completely eliminate the concept of a corporation or of a large venture, some important productive facilities may require years of work and millions of dollars of capital just to get off off the ground, and generally speaking you're not going to get that out of an individual. But if we consider there to be a slider today that is pegged almost exclusively at corporate capitalism, I think we could bring that slider way back down to make it often smarter to just have individuals owning stuff and doing stuff.
