I've gone back and forth on this in my head, but I find myself identifying with some kind of libertarian distributism. To me it seems logical that a free market naturally leads to a situation one could call distributist, as everyone would be free to own at least a bit of property and be more self-sufficient, as opposed to our current environment of state-subsidized corporate techno-feudalism.
The main problem I keep bumping into is the (unfortunately) common distributist tendency towards willful ignorance regarding economics, as well as a noticeable egalitarian streak. If they could humble themselves and actually read Austrian School literature, I'm sure distributism could actually become a feasible objective.
I might start calling myself an "Austro-Distributist" in the future, it has a nice ring to it....

@CryptoBlok Distributists believe that the family unit is the basic building block of society rather than the individual.

Also anarcho-distributism already exists.

@xianc78 That's one thing needs to change - after all, what are families made up of? Do they sprout from the ground?
A compromise I can think of would be to consider individuals and families to be primary and secondary building blocks, so to speak. Individuals form families, and families group up to form bigger groups, etc.

@CryptoBlok I'm aware of that. It's just that an anarcho-distributist society would still just be an anarcho-capitalist society just with distributist ideals.

Distributists tend to support worker co-ops unless the business is a family business and they support heavy regulations to make sure that businesses are as small as possible.

Personally, I'm leaning towards Panarchism. I honestly don't care what political or economic system people choose to live under as long as it is 100% voluntary. This is all compatible with ancap principles and it will make it more appealing to those who would prefer to live under a different economic system.

@xianc78 In the grand scheme of things I'm a panarchist of course. I'm just describing a type of community I would consider living in (as well as a potential path to anarchism/panarchism through independence from the state).

Distributists need to stop pretending the state is their friend, and realize that regulations will not help small businesses. They also need to familiarize themselves with the managerial revolution, which is what happens when too many people own a single business at once. However, it seems to me that a p2p economy combined with smaller co-ops and other small businesses is possible with the way technology is heading.

@xianc78 I've also considered using "Hoppean Agorism" or "Privatism" as names for my position.

@CryptoBlok So basically Left-Hoppeanism. I'd probably go with that too.
