Your opinion of Distributivism?

     It's a pretty good idea. If everyone produces their own products, monopolistic & oligopolistic industries will naturally give way to perfectly competitive industries.

     However, I do not see why it would necessarily be opposed to capitalism, as many people seem to have suggested. After all, the people that produce their goods would do so on a for-profit basis & through privately-owned means of production, both of which are critical aspects of capitalism. They also are still selling their labor, but merely cutting out the middle man of the employer in the process.

     Reading more about it, I'm starting to see why it was touted as a rival ideology to capitalism & socialism. Still, if you strip it of its socially collectivistic ideas, it should function just fine within both capitalistic & socialistic paradigms.
