Minarcho-Socialism, also known by the abbreviation MinSoc, is a generally culturally progressive, libertarian left ideology that seeks to combine worker owned means of production with an "as minimal as possible" state to ensure the protection of workers and their rights.
History
Personality and Behavior
Minarcho-Socialism usually acts as 
Anarcho-Communism's wise and pragmatic sibling, mirroring the relationship between 
Minarchism and 
Anarcho-Capitalism. It can also be depicted as a boring version of Anarcho-Communism.
Beliefs
Minarcho-Socialism, like its right-libertarian counterpart, believes that the state should be kept as minimal as possible. Unlike regular Minarchism, Minarcho-Socialism advocates for a small state under a socialist or communist society, and may also believe in minimal state welfare services. The main difference between MinSoc and 
Libertarian Socialism is the prospect of the industry remaining separate from the government. Alternatively, Minarcho-Socialism can simply be viewed as a non-anarchist variant of Libertarian Socialism.
Variants
Lordon-Friot Communism
The political proposition formulated by french economists 
Frédéric Lordon and 
Bernard Friot, while they do not use the term Minarcho-Socialism to describe it, and explicitly state it as communist, could be a form of minarchism as a way to establish communism or socialism. They advocate for a shift in the conception of salary, to change it from its capitalist form into a form of communist salary, explained mainly in Friot's work as "unconditional lifelong salary". This salary would be entitled to a person on the base of its irrevocable qualification as a productive agent, thus making a difference between work and employment. It essentially consists of paying a first level of salary to all citizens entering civil majority, by socializing the wealth produced through the social contribution to collective salary funds. The salary would thus no longer be linked to the job, property of the employer, but to a political status of the producer attached to the person. It would also allow recognition to a part of the non-market GDP, such as domestic work, the activity of retirees, the unemployed, volunteers, students, etc. all activities previously considered as free services and not producing economic value. This change in the social balance of production should, according to Lordon, be implemented through the establishment of a communist state - as opposed to the current capitalist state - which he describes as "an extremely federal structure [...] applying a principle of maximum subsidiarity, by devolution of the greatest possible autonomy to the most local levels possible".[1]
