Not to be confused with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Liberal Socialism.


Libertarian Socialism (Also known as Stateless Socialism or Free Socialism) encompasses a wide range of ideologies, but mainly rejects the conception of socialism as a statist form where the state bureaucracy retains centralized control of the economy. Workers within a libertarian socialist society have Direct Democratic control over the means of production. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Some types of Libertarian Socialism believe that Markets can exist within a Socialist society, as an libertarian form of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Market Socialism, while others, such as Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Libertarian Marxism, and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarcho-Communism, do not. Some Libertarian Socialists wish to abolish the state altogether, like the aforementioned Anarcho-Communism, while others, such as Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Minarcho-Socialism believe that a small state can exist within a libertarian socialist framework, and while some believe in a Decentralized Planned Economy with a Townhall democray.

History

20th century

In the early part of this period, libertarian socialism was equal in influence to both Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination social democracy and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination communism. Demonstrating this influence was the formation of the Anarchist International, which drew in many anti-capitalists. Using this new organizational power, they were able to position themselves against both of their ideological rivals for the next 50 years.

Prior to the Russian Revolution, libertarian socialists played a crucial role in campaigning for land reform, and against Tsarist authoritarianism. These campaigns were led by the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Narodniks, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination the Left Social Revolutionary Party, and various anarchist collectives. These campaigns helped to instigate the Russian Revolutions of 1905 and 1917. Unfortunately, in the latter revolution, when the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Bolsheviks seized control, they purged libertarian socialists left and right, leading to their political irrelevancy in Russia.

In the 1936 Spanish Revolution, the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination CNT was crucial to the subsequent creation of libertarian socialist communities and collectives within that country. These collectives allowed for delegates to take charge in certain situations, with the caveat of direct recall. Unfortunately for the CNT, when Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Francisco Franco came to power in Spain, the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination CNT went into a rapid decline.

Post-World War II

After the war, the ideology was ostracized from the labor movement, at least in part due to its inability to wrest control over unions from communists, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination social democrats, or Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination business unionists. Additionally, because of the seeming ease at which reformist unions gained their rights, they felt no need to engage in the radical politics espoused by libertarian socialists.

Beliefs and Theory (WIP)

Similar to Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination autonomism, libertarian socialism believes in giving the average person as much freedom as is possible. To do this, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination capitalism must be abolished.

Variants

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Libertarian Marxism

Libertarian Marxism (LibMarx) is an economically far-left, libertarian, revolutionary, internationalist and progressive ideology who supports worker ownership of the means of production and eventual transition into a stateless, moneyless and classless society as per typical communist and Marxist thought, however, he supports a decentralized approach where the working class lead the revolution themselves as opposed to acting with the aid of a vanguard party, and strongly emphasizes the libertarian and anti-authoritarian aspects of Marx's writings, specifically in his later work. It is almost always coupled with culturally left leanings.


Personality

Basically the epitome of "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me". Annoys other socialists by complaining about how statist they are. Hangs out with other non-capitalist LibLeft polcompballs a lot, although she frequently ignores them when they get into debates.

Really into punk rock and RATM.
