Just as Capitalism can operate on a spectrum ranging from completely free market (Libertarian) to extreme government intervention and control (Authoritarian), so can Socialism. In fact, Socialists were the first to use the term "Libertarian" politically.

Josephe Dejacque published 'Le Libertaire, Journal du Mouvement Social' in a New York between 1858 and 1861, while the use of the term "libertarian communism" dates from November, 1880, when a French Anarchist congress adopted it. [Max Nettlau, A Short History of Anarchism, p. 75 and p. 145]
