Clare and Kingsnorth

Kingsnorth also sees how enclosure in the widest sense is the main driver of the processes of modern capitalist and bureaucratic tyranny. He well grasps just why figures like Cobbett, Ruskin and Chesterton were more radical than Marx in denying its inevitability and rationality.

Do subscribe to this and read Paul Kingsnorth’s eloquent defence of the Luddites: they were no technophobes but coherent protestors against the needless subordination of people to machines which has now increased exponentially and disastrously. https://t.co/jkMU2GaSzL

They Probably Would Get Along

Catholic for Social Action sounds like a prog Latin front cloaking itself in "orthodoxy" in supporting Pope Francis and leftist interpretations of Roman Catholic Social Teaching.

Thanks for linking to me. Though secular minded, I think we need to re-engage with traditions of economic spirituality like #distributism for #ASmallFarmFuture - I hope to explore this further https://t.co/pnxGxlZBPw

Community and Labor Unions?

In returning to Nisbet’s understanding of unions, we uncover a new story to tell about labor’s purpose and its decline. What we find is not only a loss of bargaining power, but the loss of solidarity and self-government in the workplace and labor market. https://t.co/rA5I1hxXKO

Political Liberty Requires Economic Liberty

And republicanism requires agrarianism.

Redistribution

.@AmberLappOH: "We do not always dignify the life of the person unable to work because of disability, or the person performing the unpaid work of caregiving. It’s important that conservatives avoid stereotyping those who don’t “make it” in our economy." https://t.co/NS7M8ekIa5

Allan Carlson Reviews Patrick Deneen's Why Liberalism Failed

The Last Ideology by Allan Carlson

Carlson gives some good reasons for thinking that the state will not allow alternative communities to exist in peace but will eventually attempt to repress or impose leftist controls on them. But then the alternatives Carlson offers would seem to require an even broader scale to be successful. How can these be alternatives if they are even less likely?
