Libertarian Socialism is a political philosophy that combines elements of socialism and libertarianism. It advocates for a society where individuals have the freedom to make choices while promoting social ownership and democratic control of the means of production. This approach seeks to eliminate hierarchies and empower communities through decentralized decision-making. Proponents of Libertarian Socialism often emphasize the importance of direct democracy and voluntary cooperation. They believe that people should work together in a non-coercive manner to achieve social and economic equality. Influential figures in this movement include Mikhail Bakunin and Noam Chomsky, who have contributed to the development of its ideas.
