I appreciate your reply.
I did a four-part series recently where I covered, Distributism, Georgism, and the original Social Credit (part-4 was my assessment on Miles Mathis). It’s hard from my vantage point to say that they were an organic dismal failure when it comes to praxis. Much more likely that they were systemically targeted and irradicated by the international money-lenders. And for the record, it’s a very bad idea to let those folks solve the question of how Christians should live--especially the economic aspect of Christendom's lives.
It’s clear that they’ve backwashed the idea of community! What a disgusting terrible idea it is to the money-lenders! I know, let’s replace community with international usury! See how genius we are!
At any rate, I wasn’t arguing for the virtue of some of the actors in that article. I can testify that 35-years of labor in Canada is equivalent to ‘soft slavery’...So, within that context, the southern gentleman did have a point.
If one were to look at my writings it would be abundantly clear that I’m not anti-capitalist. And in these musings I’ll attempt to suss out the conservative perspectives along these lines. On aggregate, though, most of them just want to conserve their power base. In some sense I’m sympathetic to it if the top of the pyramid would function with integrity, honour, and a sense of fairness. And compared to the corporate mafia gong-show of government today I don’t think they were terribly far off. But we’d need good Philosopher Kings...
