Yes economics is irrelevant to distributing goods. Goods are distributed and redistributed and giving it a name afterward does not prevent that the good's are distributed and redistibuted.
I believe that people will distribute goods anyway.
I.m.h.o. distribution is an effect or symptom of trade, swop's or swap's or how do you call it, exchange? or gifts
To put it in other words, to maybe clarify myself.
Distributing goods is not something I do. If someone would ask me, what it was that I did when I bought something/ exchanged something with some one/gave or received a gift.
I would not tell them I was distributing or redistributing goods, that was not the purpose of my action. I would not even say I made a trade. I would say I bought something/sold something, I gave or got something or exchanged something. I would also not say I was a participant in the economy.
I hope you get what I mean, still struggling with finding the correct English words for some things.
