Distributism is a third-way, free market, culturally center-right ideology (though it can vary), inhabiting the center-high, far right section of the Authoritarian Left quadrant of the Political Compass. (Though this can vary as well) He is based on the Catholic social teachings, particularly the encyclicals of Popes Leo XIII and, to a lesser extent, Pius XI, and was developed into a more concrete ideology by Catholics in the 20th century, primarily Hilaire Belloc and G.K. Chesterton.

History

Beginnings

It all started back in 1891 with Pope Leo XIII's papal encyclical, Rerum novarum. It talks about the conditions of the working class and it supported the rights of labor to form unions and private property and criticized socialism and unrestricted capitalism. Pope Leo set up the bedrock of distributism while G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc after drawing together the disparate experiences of the various cooperatives and friendly societies in Northern England, Ireland, and Northern Europe and turned distributism into a more coherent and concrete ideology.

The Mondragon Corporation

In 1941, a young Catholic priest, José María Arizmendiarrieta settled in Mondragón, a town with a population of 7,000 that had not yet recovered from the consequences of the Spanish Civil War. Fr. José saw to the solution to these problems lay in the pages of Rerum Novarum, Quadragesimo Anno, and other distributist authors. In 1955, he selected five young people to set up the first company of the co-operative and industrial beginning of the Mondragon Corporation. The corporation has grown to an organization that employs over 100,000 people in Spain, has extensive international holdings.

Beliefs

Distributism believes in the widespread distribution of the means of production, which are to be privately owned by the workers, widespread anti-trust laws, and the stratification of the federal government into the concept called "the principle of the subsidiarity". He also believes that the smallest social unit is the family, not the individual as in capitalism, and likes guilds.

Personality and Behavior

Distributism is often portrayed as a devout Catholic. He may be seen wearing a rosary or calling the Pope based. However, it's not necessary to be a Christian to follow Distributism, it's just rather a call back to it's Origins/Roots. While he's not prone to violence, but does get rather mad when someone calls him a "Catholic socialist." Distributism is best friends with Agrarianism, Longism, Georgism, as well as Mutualism and are often in comics together. He is often seen trying to find common ground with other ideologies, often successfully. Distributism likes LOVES the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.

How To Draw

Drawing Distributism is rather complicated, its flag is based on a design posted on Reddit by a now deleted account:

  1. Draw a ball
  2. Draw a line in orange (#fc8922) vertically on the leftmost third and fill it in.
  3. Fill in the rest of the ball with orange-yellow (#fcc52b)
  4. Draw a dog in grey (#b0b4bc) carrying a torch (#898e95) with the flames stretching leftwards in deep red (#9d1d25). This can be as detailed or as vague as you want; we can't all be artists.
  5. Add the eyes, and you're done!

  • Catholic Socialism - Not much against the guy, BUT I'M NOT A CATHOLIC SOCIALIST!
  • Social Democracy - Has the right ideas about combining markets and re-distributive policies to create a more humane economy, but his centralized execution tends to the symptoms rather than the cause.
  • Libertarianism - Has good ideas about decentralization, but his economic ideas lead to exploitation and derangement.
  • Social Libertarianism - Cultural left? ECH!
