A Reasonable Critique of Distributism.
Found and further annotated by the always-thoughtful Shawn McElhinney.
Actually, the critique is directed more at what the article terms "neo-distributists," but since I am sick to death of the prefix "neo-", I titled the post accordingly.
I'm pretty sympathetic to distributism as a general rule, but the critique captures the fatal flaw of the philosophy--application: it would take a battle-axe in the hands of a functionally-totalitarian state to implement.
Which is diametrically opposed to the goals of the movement, when you come down to it.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
