Marx is fine with centralizing production so long as "shareholders" are the entire society. Distributism wants maximum distribution of the productive process. Think of it as one system advocating for gigafarms from which everyone is fed vs small farms each family has.
Distributism is probably the most eugenic out of the socioeconomic -isms since it pretty severely caps the population growth. I've thought about how it's through these small-scale farming communities that real human progress took place way back when, in colder climes, where family farms had to sink or swim vs the incoming winters, whereas the mega carb production of warmer civilizations feed even the dumbest and the poorest and enable their mass reproduction.
America was better when the distribution of production was more equal, not because of some communist ownership ideal, in fact, QoL was lower back then, but because it mean that the ones reproducing were naturally more fit than they are now. Today we get a nigger with a smartphone producing twelve niggers with twelve smartphones, fantastic for GDP, but no doubt civilizationally inferior to a poor white guy in some random Utah shithole banging out seven kids on his farm and having one of them become John Moses Browning, revolutionizing firearms.
I think with how bloated states are and how international competition is, it's impossible to make a return to distributism without surrendering global relevance in the short term. Just think of the state of the US - how exactly would you roll back the centralization of capital, military command, politics, etc. without nuking your ability to respond to an emergency vis a vis China, Russia, Iran? It's kind of over in the sense that there is no more terra incognita to plop your flag down in and create a civilization from scratch, "the right way", as done in the past. Everywhere you go there's a billion niggers. In fact, the places where you'd think doing this would make the most sense, some far-off land where civilization has not been tried before, are liable to have the most niggers out of them all. Africa is full of them, Latin America, well, imagine jump-starting a mini distributist civilization deep in the Argentine Patagonia. The government would bring the hammer down on you if local 2-digit-IQ mongrels led by liberal art midwit anti-racists don't get to you first.
Probably the best thing any distributist can do today is find a nice community they can install themselves in, preach the word to the people there, and, through involvement in local politics, make it extremely difficult for outsiders to enter the community. Then focus your efforts on sending out "corsairs" out into the world, really community children that will educate themselves at the expense of the state, make money, and then come back (bring "spoils"), and then work hard to keep the money within the community. Keeping outsiders out and the money in will create natural incentives for the people in the community to start businesses for each other. Voila, distributist community. Of course, then the gov. shows up and tells you they're airdropping a couple hundred thousand niggers into the community next week and you're fucked, so, if you're not willing to die for this (and no one is) then there's no possibility of it working out.
