[edit] Libertarian Socialism

This is a former Featured Article that was, as far as I can tell, removed because of the efforts of a single, dedicated individual who saw the concept of 'Libertarian Socialism' as a contradiction in terms. While, I'd be happy to argue this point with this individual in another forum, the fact is that historically 'Libertarian Socialism' has been used as a synonym for the movements described in the article. (In fact, I've read that the use of the term 'Libertarian' in describing socialist anarchists predates the modern usage of the term to describe modern supporters of Laissez-faire capitalism--I don't have a source...but I'll search for one if needed) Again, this is not the place for personal political opinions, or difficulty with the name of the article. -- harris0 12:45, January 6th

• Oppose. At the present, contains no explicit references section. RyanGerbil10 06:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose Fails 2a, 2c, 3a & 4. Mikkerpikker 01:20, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

• Object. Only one reference as far as I can find, which is not enough, and besides there is no references section, criteria 2c. It also needs inline citations (not external links scattered throughout the article hampering readibility), again critera 2c. It is also starting to grow rather large, at 46kb, and needs to be divided into daughter articles through Wikipedia:Summary style. AndyZ 15:41, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
