"Private property is far more in the hands of the populous than ever it was under Feudalism."De facto; it is not more in the hands of the populous, but the banks and corporations. Look at the debt obligations.

U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864
(letter to Col. William F. Elkins)
Capitalism is reaching its theoretical end as foreseen by Abraham Lincoln. Contiguous with this apotheosis is a passing to fascism/socialism/communism.
That is what is coming next, as Lenin understood.
"Fascism is capitalism in decay""The goal of socialism is communism."Capitalism is a punishment from God and is an economic system based on the worship of money in displacement of Our Lord:
Matthew 6:24
"No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."(Indeed, Hilaire Belloc argues that the advent of Capitalism was not a natural evolution that can be traced to the rise of industrialism, but more to the dissolution of monasteries in England.)
Socialism/communism are based on the worship of human power in the displacement of God the Father:
Psalms 65:7
"Who by his power ruleth for ever"
"The State is the Divine Idea as it exists on earth." -
Georges Hegel.But to those who have the Father and the Son, they have also the Holy Ghost.
The following is the ideal system:
Acts 4:31
"and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with confidence. And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul: neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed, was his own; but all things were common unto them. "But can only function in high holiness.
Lenin copied this arrangment:
"
From each according to his ability; to each according to his needs."But as the history of communism so horribly testifies, separated from God and without grace, man cannot act justly and the strong will dominate/exploit the weak.
Distributism is the more realistic system given the fallen state of man as it fully enshrines property rights in safeguard of freedom. Below an excellent paper on its verities.
