I haven't met to many people who self-identify as libertarian socialists. You seem to incorporate in your person what I am speaking about for societies: a blend of competing systems.

But you've heard of Chomsky?
Not that I agree with him 100%, but he's a high profile libertarian socialist. And yes, past hundred years proved you right in many ways, but we'll see what this century will bring. Out of the existing societies I think I prefer social democracy (a form of socialism), it's been relatively humane to all members of society. Democracy is very important, I think we both agree on this, but those on the libertarian left generally think so.
I have a question for you, what should we do when secretaries, shop clerks, driving professions, maids etc. lose their jobs? Those can be automated you know.
