Libertarian = a person advocating total individual freedom through minimizing the role of the government.
Socialism = the abolition of privately held means of production.
A libertarian socialist sees the state as a coercive authoritarian institution which the elite uses to exploit the people. A libertarian socialist sees capitalism as a way for the ones with money, i.e. power, to enforce oppression on the ones who don't.
Free market is about as fair as the freedom to kill an innocent person.

Get the libertarian socialism mug.As in the Marxist slogan: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
But instead of economics, this slogan relates to pussy. Specifically, when a buddy who pulls a lot of poon shares his conquests with his less fortunate buddy -- that's pussy socialism.

Get the minarcho-socialism mug.libertarian-A person who advocates liberty, especially in regard to thought or conduct.
socialism-The belief that all property should be held by the state or in common. Since most libertarian socialists are anarchists they believe in property being held in common, meaning anyone can use what ever they want whenever they feel like it.
Basically, while libertarian capitalists believe all force and coercion is wrong unless used to defend one's person or property libertarian socialists believe all force and coercion is wrong unless used to defend one's person, but not one's property since all property was originally founded on theft and relies on state coercion. Without state coercion capitalists would have to create private organizations (basically, miniature states) to enforce property 'rights'. Libertarian capitalists ignore the fact that companies would monopolize land and exclude certain companies, eventually leading to vast tracts of private property that function like modern states do.
