Yes, in fact! I think he name "Distributism" is a misnomer, really. Sounds too much like "wealth redistribution." I believe people are trying to rebrand it as "Localism," which I can fully get behind.
Until somewhat recently, I viewed Distributism as an ideal state of a free economy, not a system to itself. I now see it has more to it than that, subsidiarity especially, but it does require a freedom of trade that is very compatible with the way I think most proponents of so called "Capitalism" actually desire and endorse.
