Libertarian socialism does not imply government, there is still a incredibly small government. Socialism does not imply government. Socialism simply implies
"from each according to his/her ability, to each according to his/her work."
and Communism implies
"from each according to his/her ability, to each according to his/her need."
Libertarian socialism is closer to communism without the collective body. As communism has no government.
