Suveranist-Distributism is the ideology of Kremlin Georgescu a lukeworm form of "distributism". He never was specific on how we are going to achive it, he only used rethoric, rethoric that we must break from the matrix reprezented by the servile state by becoming self-sufficient trought an suveranist-distributist state. Keep in mind when he refered to suveranist-distributism he always added the state, this pared with his belive that it must be mandatory that every enterprise in romania with foreign capital should be at least 51% romanian, be it by the state or private hands. If we also add the fact he wanted to create state-owned cooperatives to syncronize the small-medium producers with the state and that he is fan of China and Putin we might be looking at a Corporatist model similar to china's economic model that he seeks to establish trought distributist rethoric.
Considering the fact that this guy has quoted everyone, from progressive marxists like Guy Deboard with his concept of society of the spectacle to legionares like Corneliu Zelea Codreanu making the apology of the legionares and comunist, to quoting famous movies and series. It is pretty clear to me that he is a fake distributist and he either has a team that scrapes qoutes and lines from him to qouate from allover the place or he uses Ai for this, but it must have surely started with distributism beacuse he was mentioned by pseudo-distributist ongs here in Romania since years ago. He only uses distributism as a rethoric beacuse it fits his populistic and mindnumbing, down right hypnotic discourse, paired with the way that he talks and mymics profound thinking makes him the biggest, the greatest threat to the fate of distributism in Romania if not even the world.
I hope that the danger this ideology poses to the distributist thinking is pretty clear.While the actual ideology is not well defined by it's author, the people following Calin Georgescu have shapped it into a parasitic way of achiving self-sufiency inspired by parts of the doctrine of Ceausescu's ideology , national communism. The suveranist-distributists think that multinationals pay no taxes, by declaring 0 profits, and that is a lie, the truth is there are some enterprises that do not pay their taxes but they are local enterprises with monopolistic tendencies that have connections with the state. This kinda proves that Georgescu has no idea what the servile state actually is, instead of denouncing the de-facto private state enterprises he lies. Yes multinationals hurt the local economy but not beacuse they "dont pay taxes".
The single clear economic policy is nationalization, but the followers of suveranist-distributism have a basic to faulty understanding of nationalization. They think that nationalization is when the majority of the economy is in the nation's hand, be it private or state but in reality nationalization is when the state buys or steals the means of production. AUR's (the asociated party of Georgescu) economic policy is buying back what was privatized and then selling part of them to the romanian industrial elites or whoever can afford majority of stocks they sell and is romanian. This plan comes when the country is in a buggetary deficitt. It would destroy the economy and make the deficit even bigger. You have no guarantee people will buy enough stocks, while you also have no guarantee the state can manage the enterprises, they were privatized for a reason afterall.
This approach comes from a faulty thinking, and part of the fault is the name "distributism" it emplies that someone would do the distributing and in this case instead of it beeing an organic procces aided by legislation in order for the local economy to grow sustainabe the one who does the distributing is.....
The whole ideology of suveranist-distributism is based of a superficial and faulty understanding of distributism. Hillaire Belloc is rolling in his coffin....So the servile state mentains two classes of people artificially the owner class and the proletarian class in order to exist and exploit the masses while giving the crumbs left to the proletarians after the bourgoise feast.So...Georgescu that uses the expresion of the "Servile State", your solution is to entrust the state to give a "fair" distribution of owership to the masses? The same servile state that artificially keeps those two classes?Really? So the state is the problem and the solution is more state. Is this not socialist thinking? After you have heard this..don't you think that suveranist-distributism is just a form of socialism based on class colaboration instead of class conflict? Therefore making it just Corporatism? Corporatism the same economic doctrine of fascism and defacto the same economic ideology of China today?And he dares to call this blasphemy distributism?
Truth is,the state can never be the distribuitor and if you think that distributism can be achived trought the state politically you are sadly a fool my friend.
-Firstly there is no way the state can know where and how to distribute the means of production directly but the state can make legislation to facilitate, to give the market incentive to distribute the means of production as widely as possible, not by nationalzing or stealing or only buying the current means of production but to create means of production, to create more entreprenuers to educate the masses but this alone is not enough, distributism cannot be achived politically, the people need to achive distributism outside of the state by yk actually starting enterprises, guilds, cooperatives, suveranist-distributism comes directly into condradiction with the founding principle of distributism itself, that beeing the principle of subsidiarity. One that Georgescu has never mentioned or even hinted at it or tried to explain it, beaucuse it comes into contradiction with his socialistic mindset, the principle of subsidiarity is that problems should be solved at the lowest socio-economical unit as much as possible. This directly contradicts his idea of state owned agrarian cooperatives and his obsession with nationalization, the state is the highest unit in the socio-economic hierachy, the lowest socio-econimical unit in distributism is the family/defacto the individual(this is beacuse only families can give you individuals, distributism is an inherently comunitarian ideology) , so acording to the subsidiarity principle the families should start local cooperatives. If you are both an distributist and corporatist thats not contradictory(as long as you don't support fascist corporatism) but in this case the state can only be the agrarian corporation that syncronizes the local agrarian cooperatives voluntary, and this corporation to be subordonated to the agriculture ministy, so in other words the state can only be the means of colaboration betwen those coops. The power needs to come from the buttom to the top in order for distributism to be distributism, the only thing that the state should do is to decentrelize itself, to subordonate itself to the people as closely as possible trought local gouvernance and to become the means of colaboration betwen individuals over all. The idea that the state should do the distribution is self contradictory to the distributist ethos.
-Secondly the state will never give up it's power once it achives it, most dictarships have one thing in common (except Pinochet) the state entervining too much in the economy or social life, therefore all authoritarian regimes include some form of nationalization, never once in history has the state willingly give up its power over the economy, this is also the reason why libertharian forms of socialism have never worked and that is beacuse of the faulty thinking suveranist-distributists and libertharian socialist share, that is, a movement that seeks to achive decentralization would or could be achived trought centralized means. It is hypocritical to the core. It is not the people who are in power that are corrupt, it is that the power corrupt most of the people, this is quite literally the whole point of decentralization, even good intented people can be corrupted by the power of the state and those movements are doomed to fail precisely beacuse of this. They are self-contradictory.
-Thridly you cannot be an distributist and expect an daddy to come and save you, by giving you the means of production, you need to take them yourself.Now I want to critique the romanian suveranist-distributist precisely, more or less they are all people who own or owned land, they are all people who have went or have family members who went to work in the west. The polish have done the same mostly, go to germny plumb german toilets, wipe asses of old folks that can't take care of themselves but the difference between the soveringty polish and the romanian is that he went home and started an enterprise of any kind, the romanian went home bought luxury cars(by our standards not western), made himself a big house closely in size to a villa and became a local god for a few months and then guess what happend...the money ran out, he started complaning of the wages here, he can't afford the lifestyle he created here, so he went back to the west for a few years, send money home (those who went to send money home or just make a normal house, I don't critique, my father is one of them) then come back again, a god for a few months again and so on and so on while here, beacuse of supply and demand, some local enterprises formed but not enough and multinationals dominate if not even have an oligopoly on the suppermarket sector. If you want to reddem yourself, romanian soverginist and not be an hypocrite anymore, go back to the west again, stop complaning, be a slave there for a few years as always but when you come back, start an enterprise. Literally can be everything from a self washing car enterprise to buying an tractor, renting or buying some land or creating an cooperative with the land owners in your region and start the work, an potato or grain farm, sell the food locally. go make yourself some clients, when you can afforrd it scale up and hire workers and now guess what you've done? Created an local enterprise, jobs for the local folks and now you can sustain a better life here for your family, not in the west, so stop beeing an hypocrite and a pridefull egoist and get to work. Create the future you want, do not wait for the politicians to save you.
Now I want to trace a parallel bettwen sovergnty-distributism(suveranist-distributism, fascism and marxism, they all cleary have missled philosophies, economic and social, the routes of this faulty reasoning can be traced back to Hegel more accurately and as a strech to Plato himself, from Plato we get the idea that things must come from the top down, that the top is the reprezentation of the absolute good that in theology had became God, Hegel applied this idea politically and said that the state is bassically the tool of God and if all humanity united in one state, it would wake up the dormant God and we will transcend this fake material reality, from this two philosophies had emerged that are important to this disscusion, marxism that has rejected the idealistic part and kept the rest saying that if the world united under one proletarian state we would transcend this fake material reality repressented by capitalism , and actual idealism is the second philosophy (the philosphy of fascism) that has done the opossite and fully embraced the idealistic part while interpreting the dialectics differently (socialism based on class cooperation rathar then class conflict, to the socialist belive dialectics is the core, the employeer wants bigger profits and the employee wants bigger wages and this must be a "contradiction") , saying that the mind can create the material reality, I'm not making this up, I wish I would be making this up.Beacuse of this belive fascism is the more liberal totalitarian ideology compared to nazism and communism, in fascism there is no class or biologic discrimination, the classes should be forced to colaborate and fascism has no biologic basis, beacuse the mind creates material reality you can become an italian fascist even if you're jewish, and in fact before Hitler started to influnce Mussoline, per capita % in the fascist party jews exceeded blood-italians, even when Mussolini was forced to implement an biologic discrimination act aganist jews , he defined jewishness in religious terms, therefore jews can be saved if they convert to atheism or catolicism. Fascism was an progresssive ideology so progressive in fact it became conservative(they also had ties to the futurist movement). In all of those philosophies we are the state so therefore the state must controll everything so that we can controll everything.
Humanity is the state, the state is the human universal, we are the state and because of that the state is democratic. In this sense the fascist state is a democratic one par excellence in Gentile's eyes because the state is the synthesis of the trinity within us "you, us-you, society" then there is no need for an electoral process. In this sense fascism is technocratic, the excellence of fascist democracy comes through the structure of corporatism (a way of economic and social organization) headed by the supreme leader Il Duce who puts the most excellent of us in the structure of the state. Il Duce being the leader of the state therefore of all and of Italian humanity itself is the supreme excellence making the fascist state a democratic one par excellence because we are all the state and we are all interconnected by the universal parallel of the Italian spirit which gives us the ability to perceive Reality in our holy way, the fascist state does not represent us, this is all of us, it cannot be more democratic than that. From here we can conclude that fascism is a religion with a very strong cult of personality, if we think about it the way in which the Pope is elected is similar to the way in which another “IL DUCE” would have been elected, that is, the most educated in the fascist doctrine with their current idealism religion will debate for all the people who will be the duc, normally one of them, from the “cardinals”.
From here we can conclude why fascists are so fanatical, for them fascism is not a danger to democracy but the most democratic form of democracy, democracy is not just an electoral process but a state of mind.
In fascism that
state of mind is so absolute that you no longer need an electoral process. As we fight for our democracy, they will fight just as radically for theirs.
So if we are so interconnected as I explained before, and the state is the supreme consciousness that leads it, then you, the human, the collective entity absorbed in everything in the state, should let the state intervene in the market for you because the embodiment of democratic excellence knows better, the regime knows better. It is of the people, for the people because it is the people.
From here I hope you can see the pararel between soverngty distributism and fascism here, they are not the same ideology but in some ways they are pretty similar, Georgescu has also used fascist and populist rethoric, in the way that he speaks, he might not want to create an dictarships but we have no guarantee he wouldn't if he had the power, he is an anti-parlamentarian and he always uses "I am for the people, the people are with me, me and the people, the people, God, the people" we have no guarantee that it wouldn't become "I, the people" as in the past.
You as an individual hearing this rhetoric for the first time are completely vulnerable, completely defenseless against it and you will be seduced by the sweet fascist rhetoric and you will become a believer, even if unconsciously, of the religion of current idealism which will overlap with your religion and national identity in a perverse syncretism.
Today there is a possibility, however small, of the return of fascist regimes reborn through populism.
Populism is fascism but also undeveloped socialism/communism, without the philosophical doctrine to make it a proper ideology, but as the wind blows populism can transform into both ideologies.
The idealist base exists in all of us, at a subconscious level we are all undeveloped fascists, in the darkness of our minds populism lives, since we were little we were taught without realizing the current idealist rhetoric "it doesn't exist I can't, it doesn't exist I don't want, put your mind to the contribution" "you can do whatever you set your mind to" in other words the mind can create your reality if you want it so why wouldn't this apply in politics?
The common man cannot understand why, because it is impossible for him to know all the information, a fact that makes him susceptible to populist manipulation that can lead to fascism but also socialism/Marxism.
For now, populism is just a tool used by other liberal ideologues to garner support for their cause, but this fact can awaken monsters from deep within us.
In conclusion, soverngty-distributism is an false distributism beacuse it comes into contradiction with the founding principle of subsidiarity, you cannot wait for the state to come and save you, to give you the means of production, you must create the means of productiom yourself, the state can never be the distributior but it can decentralize itself and aid the market by giving incentives to achive localism. Marxism, fascism, and soverngty distributism have a common hegelian source influnced by the Platonian way of thinking and this is our enemy, not the people, the ideas. Populism is undeveloped form of both fascism and marxism, it can transform into one depending on from where the wing is blowing, today populism is just used as an political marketing tool, a tool that could wake up dormant monsters deep within us reprezented by ideologies similar to soverngty distributism.
