I might have missed it: could you cite from this article where somebody is advocating taking your stuff without your consent? Maybe it’s there and I didn’t see it, but I do not understand Chesterton and Belloc as advocating State action in confiscating property.

Well, I’d say that’s because they didn’t really think it through.

There is only one way to achieve the land/property distribution that distributism demands, and that is to confiscate it. Who but the State could do such a thing?
