      Libertarianism in the US sometimes (most prominently even, with the Libertarian Party) refers to fully deregulated etc capitalism but more generally means something more like anarchism, a left wing ideology.

      Anarchocapitalism is an oxymoron and anarchists do not count it as anarchism.

        5ier: Its the idea that the personalized power of both economic and social rulers should be minimized. Neither inheriting a factory nor inheriting a title of nobility should give you power over me.

        Libertarian socialism = “we never experienced real socialism”

        Anarchocapitalism = “we never experienced real capitalism”

          … no? Generally and historically speaking, anarchists can expect to be murdered by the more authority-oriented flavors of leftists at the first semi-convenient point in time. There’s the Kronstadt rebellion or civil war era Spain, as examples.

    Think of “libertarian socialism” in contrast to the more common (authoritarian) socialism. As I understand, Libertarian Socialism is a very broad umbrella that covers ideologies promoting non-coercive, cooperative societies (e.g. all the actual forms of anarchism, solarpunk).

    When you hear most people speak of socialism they typically mean some form or fusion of authoritarian socialism – state forced cooperative society.

    These are in contrast of course to the coercive and exploitative based societies (capitalism, etc) currently found in virtually every state.
