You can have your nation. What is stopping you? Tie a few logs together, grab your buddies and head out to sea on your own floating island nation.

A Nation is a People. Unless the entirety of Anglo-America up and moves, then I'll stay where I am.

You want to control land others own, use the resources others own.

I want America to control her own land and resources, instead of paying fiefs to foreigners and the banks.

With nothing more (presumably) to justify it all other than "it's not fair that they own it, it should belong to everyone [me]."

This is a strawman argument: I never said property should be collectivized, or even that there should be a command economy.

A key element of Corporatism is both private property and a market economy — albeit not a free market.

In this way (and many others) you are far more similar to socialists/marxists/colectivists than you care to admit.

So by protecting private property and promoting a market economy I might as well be a Communist? I though those where capitalist ideals, but I guess not.

The best form government maximizes freedom.

I disagree. Pure freedom does nothing but degenerate a Nation.

That includes reducing as much as possible the tyranny of powerful and wealthy citizens.

Which can only be done through Corporatism, Distributism, or some other form of third positionism.
