Interesting. I think I will look up G.K. Chesterton, but If I understand you correctly, big business and big government are both malicious because they prohibit and regulate new entrants to the market? Things like corn subsidies, which make it almost impossible for non-corn farmers to compete, and things like general education, which disallows competition between educators? I like this idea, but I wonder about how the socialists describe socialism as well. I'm not certain there is an actual epitome of socialism, but perhaps there are differing versions, similar to how capitalism has?

Socialism in the way socialists say it as, is impossible. Capitalism is possible, but it has been hijacked as Big Business. It was hijacked by the progressives, so they could push in Socialism. So you have it as: Socialism = Big Government control. And as G.K. Chesterton described it as "New Capitalism", that equals Big Business.

So how do we make things work for the better, with out having control by either big government or big business? Distributism. But make sure you learn about distributism through G.K. Chesterton. Otherwise you would get it wrong.
