Distributivism in Korea?

News of a South Korea political party's call for "harmony between growth and distribution, the free market and an efficient government" — Democrats unveil 'Third Way' vision.

Not unexpectedly, "left-leaning members criticized it for diluting its ideological purity," suggesting "the new program was ambivalent and much too cautious in asserting its liberal values." (Let us remember that "conservatism is the negation of ideology" — Ten Conservative Principles by Russell Kirk.)

I have little hope for the project; when talk of a "third way" comes from the left, it usually means something along the lines of Bill Clinton or Tony Blair, not Wilhelm Röpke.
