Libertarian Socialism

Libertarian Socialism (Also known as Anarcho-Socialism, Anarchist Socialism, 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 centralised control of the economy. Workers within a libertarian socialist society have Direct Democratic control over the means of production. Some types of Libertarian Socialism believe that Markets can exist within a Socialist society, like Market Socialism, While others, like  Anarcho-Communism, do not. Some Libertarian Socialists wish to abolish the state altogether, such the aforementioned Anarcho-Communism, while others, such as  Minarcho-Socialism believe that a small state can exist within a libertarian socialist framework.

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.
