That's interesting. Maybe my definitions are wrong. I tend to think of left as consolidated /centralized power and right as the opposite of that. CW for length 

@sbjohnsrpi
Are you familiar with distributism? Maybe also called distributionism? I've read G K Chesterton advocating for it...it champions individual property rights more than capitalism.

His objection to capitalism, if I remember correctly, was that it centralizes ownership /power to wealthy individuals and their corporations rather than to powerful politicians and bureaucrats and the state. In the end they appeal to the state for bailouts, so it's a shortcut to the worst of socialism. The idea was to make it very hard to get rid of one's privately owned land to encourage a broad distribution of power and rights rather than consolidating, whether private or public.
