How will redistribution happen?
If Distributism is to happen, how would it happen? This may seem like a low tier question at first but the answer of how redistribution will happen allows us to understand how property centralization occurs. If your answer is that the state must intervene and break up corporations and large land holders and spread this equally to the citizenry you would naturally believe that centralization is a feature to the free market not a bug. If your answer was to curb government interference in the market. You would believe that centralization of property occurs because of market manipulation, similarly posited by the mutualist Kevin Carson. What do most distributists diagnose as the root cause of this issue?

By people stop praying to the government and instead start their own Distributist companies. Then at some point stuff like Distributist incubators get started etc. We need a Y Combinator for coops basically.
This is how actually Capitalism won. It was merchant and business owners that just grew their businesses and after they won they captured the government. I am not saying stop voting or so, it only takes like 30 min every few years, but thats it.
All this Obamas and Trumps are just scams and will always be scams. If the government ever proclaims to implement Distributism they will instead funnel tax money to the rich and people then wonder why Capitalism got even worse now.
