Participism is a libertarian socialist political philosophy. Participism believes that it is as an alternative to both capitalism and centrally-planned state socialism. It believes in participatory politics and economics. There are two political systems in Participism: participatory politics and participatory economics.

Participatory politics is a political system that complement participatory economics in a way that both make up Participism. The main values of this political system is freedom, tolerance, self-management, solidarity and justice. The goal of this system is to allow people to participate as much as they could in a manner that is face-to-face.

Participatory economics is an economic system that is based on participatory decision making in the economic mechanism as their primary allocation. They say that decision making in the system of participatory economics can impact an individual or a group of individuals. Participatory economics is more of a decentralized planned economy, which involves the ownership of the means of production. Participatory economics is proposed to be an alternative to Capitalism and centrally-planned socialism.
